Subdivision Variance Request, 1791 Stoughton Avenue, Otto Kettner
Waibel explained that the applicant is requesting a lot area
variance to create separate lots of record for the two existing
residences on the property. The owner/applicant resides in the
westerly of the two residences and wishes to sell the easterly
residence and buildings. He stated that this proposal has merit
because it will resolve the present non-conforming situation of
two principle structures on one zoning lot and that it will
increase the chances of overall improvements to the easterly
residence and property by making owner occupancy possible.
.
J. Thompson moved, seconded by Merz that the Planning Commission
recommend preliminary plat approval of Kettner's Addition as
depicted on the Preliminary Plat marked Official Copy dated
received December 16, 1983 and contained in Planning file 83-16
Subdivision with the suggestion to the City Council that they
request an evaluation of the on-site sewer system.

wildlife due to the slope of the property.
