Dear Mr. Grazier:
Pursuant to your recent request for an opinion concerning lots which
were platted before are present ordinances and which 'do not conform to tnose
ordinances. I wish to advise that it has been my opinion and I think the
City has followed the policy of issuing building permits on any lot that
existed as a platted lot prior to our present ordinance even though it does
not comply in size requirements for a lotto be platted today.
Whether or not the fact that utilities have been put in and assessed
against the lot, would have any effect on the landowners right to obtain
a building permit? It is our feeling that the landowner would': have a right
to obtain a iuilding permit regardless of whether there has been an
ment for utility. Of course, if utilities are not in it may be that the
building permit could be denied until they are installed.
ordinance? The answer to that question, I believe, is negative. I do not
believe that the city has the authority or the Dower to insist'that.a person
acquire additional property. It maybe well to recommend this '. in art I attempt
to convince the property owner that additional property would make a nmh
more desirable development but I do not believe that we could use that as
a basis for denial of a building permit on an existing lot of record.
The question of variance as to departure from our existing ordinances
with regard to side yard setbacks or other setback lines or the building
ordinances. I think that we are entitled to enforce the setbacks and building
ordinances. I don't believe that the lot owner, simply because he has a
platted lot, has any absolute right to a variance. it may be that the cir-
cumstances of some particular cases would require a variance.:
Of course, if the lot does not meet the size requirements because `a
portion of it is below the flood plain, I believe this is a sound basis
for denial of the building permit. In other words, I think all of the other
ordinances apoly to the issuance of a buildinq permit and to the construction
of a building thereon. I can foresee that there ray be some lots which because
of terrain sirrply cannot be built upon because of their size requirements
b, 1981
and the setback requirerents, r do ;tot belie. a variance ioald be mandatory
' in those ci rur.L, t�nces.
1 mist that this will assist you in hanclinc these problems. I don't
thin;::. we can lay down a:y hard and faist quidel:.nes that would be applied
in all cases. I think the pmbleri�s are goinq to be as individual as the
nw:'N -r of Lots that exist. If there is any £urth:,er issistance that I can
be in this matter, please let me !mow.
Yours truly,
