Commission approves variance to allow boundary line adjustment between two nonconforming parcels; one abstention recorded

The commission approved a variance May 13 allowing a boundary line adjustment between two legal nonconforming parcels at 2824 and 2862 Hannafin Way. Planning staff explained both parcels are smaller than the A‑5 zoning minimum (current sizes about 2.298 and 2.5 acres) and described the four variance findings the commission must make.

Applicants Mark and Lisa Salinski said the adjustment would include area near their tree line and a small storage shed, and explained they intend to maintain the driveway and shared road. Staff emphasized a condition that the final boundary‑line adjustment map must show the location of wells and septic systems for each lot; the applicants confirmed they can provide that detail.

Commissioner Vicki Hanns Sodegui (mover) and Commissioner Goings (second) supported approval; Commissioner Dennis Mills recused himself from the vote and the record notes his abstention because the Solinskis are family friends. The motion carried with a recorded 4‑0 vote and one abstention.
