Mr. Jochum noted that these lots are in the Shoreland District, and with that only being able to cover 25% of the property with impervious surface. Making the lot larger will help with the size of the home being built on this lot and not going over the allowed percentage. Mr. Jochum reviewed the future assessment liability section of the staff report and noted to take off staff recommendation 44 knowing that this is currently a private street so assessments will not be affected by the size of these lots.
