Planning Commission Direction: The Planning Commission can approve the metes and bounds subdivision, it can develop findings to deny the metes and bounds subdivision, or it can table the subdivision request to gather additional information on which to base a decision or to �. provide the applicant time to modify the proposal. Staff Recommendation: Section 9.4, Subdivision 2 requires that all non-conforming structures and uses shall be brought into conformity during the subdivision process, except as specifically waived by motion of the Planning Commission. Except for the one structure that the applicant has proposed to relocate (currently located on Tract B),the Staff recommends that the Planning Commission specifically move to waive this provision for the remaining structures.The applicant is not proposing to create any new properties with this subdivision, but rather to simply adjust the lot lines associated with the existing lots and actually reduce the total number of lots. Further, based on the findings of fact presented in this report, the Staff recommends that the proposed metes and bounds subdivision be approved. The Staff also recommends that the following condition be included with this approval: i. The shed located on Tract B on the shoreline and within the western side yard setback shall be removed or relocated to an entirely conforming location on the property within six months of approval of this application.
