Request for Variance by Irwin&Margaret Olson,Public Hearing Case„No.V 486 <br /> Irwin and Margaret Olson of 19761 Gary Street have requested a variance from <br /> the minimum lot size requirements in the R 1 a zone (Countryside Acres). The <br /> Olson's previously combined Lots 4, 5 and 6 for tax purposes and now they wish to <br /> sell Lots 4 and 5 as one parcel (approximately 2.5 acres), and sell Lot 6 (1.6 acres) <br /> as a separate buildable lot. Lot 6 does not meet the City's current standards for <br /> minimum lot size in the R 1 a zoning district. Scott noted that zoning was changed <br /> to R 1 a after Countryside Acres was subdivided. <br /> Chair Mesich opened the public hearing. <br /> Irwin Olson, applicant, indicated he felt it would be a hardship to find a buyer for <br /> the four acre lot, since the other lots in Countryside Acres are smaller. He <br /> explained that he was told by the County that there would be no problem selling <br /> off any of the lots separately,when he previously combined the lots for tax <br /> purposes. <br /> • There being no further public comment, Chair Mesich closed the public hearing. <br />
