Beth Andreasen lives on Tanner Dr. She is wanting to build a small house on the lot behind her house. The second lot is only 78’ x 155’. The code reads that the lot must have 80’ of road frontage. The commission is in agreement that, due to the lot already having been platted that no variance should be required. The applicant was reminded that the house must have a separate driveway. The applicant was informed that all standard building permits are required before construction.

Yoes motion to adjourn. Collins second. Meeting adjourned at 6:28 P.M.
