Commissioner Copley suggested that the words, built to meet the State Uniform Building Codes, be added to the definition of modular homes. Are modular and manufactured homes construed to be the same? It was suggested that each one have a Special Use Permit and be looked at on an individual basis and have a hearing of neighbors surrounding it. Lloyd Reimann, 2813 142nd Avenue NW - was present in the audience. Chairperson Bosell asked if he could offer any comments or suggestions. Lloyd had opposition to the Terra Firma Estates who were proposing a home by his. He felt that the pitch on the house was not adequate, and the looks of the house were cheap in comparison to the other homes in the neighborhood. He thought the ideas of the Commission were good. (~on Copley left the meeting at this time) MOTION by Bosell, Seconded by Lobb, that the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Andover has reviewed the mobile home definition and it's their consensus that that definition is adequate as written. Further that Ordinance 8 be amended to include the definition for modular homes after the mobile homes definition.

Discussion - Lot Split Ordinance #40 & 40A Discussion - It was suggested that changing the ordinance to say, only lots, and making some reference of it being in the sewered area would clear this up.

Section I - Definition 'Would read, A residential lot split is any division of a lot into not more than two (2) lots when one or both divided lots have a Width of less than 300 feet and are less than five (5) acres in size. A, would read, No residential lot shall be divided unless the resultant lots have at least the minimum T.4idth, depth and square footage as required for any lot in the zoning district wherein the lot is located. B, no change. Delete C. MOTION by Rishel, Seconded by Okerlund, that the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Andover recommend the adoption of the proposed Ordinance as amended, Ordinance #40A for the following reasons: 1) The original intent of the lot split ordinance was to allmi individuals suffering hardships by reason%of municipal sani- ~ ; tary se">'ier being installed and resulting in special assessments ~cam')f-overly burden- 'l-I(~7q some to the property miner of lots in subdivision containing large frontage; 2) The f intent has been misconstrued to allmi parcels in urban areas containing metes and bounds parcels of land to come in for a lot split, where in effect the variance (Ordi- nance 8, Variance section) could just as well take care of those certain cases; 3) The proposed ordinance as amended would restrict the lot split specifically to municipal sewered areas as originally intended; 4) The ordinance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plant, and; 5) The ordinance as amended would take care of any extreme hardships for large residential lots that have municipal facilities placed . . o /' -', \._1 ,-' () Plan.....Jg ant!
