Item No. 4 PC: 11-1-90 MS-91-7 Page 4 Attached is a letter from the applicant which states that it was not their intention to create an owner-operator homesite in 1984 and that both homesites were for their children. Attached to the applicant's letter was a copy of the staff report for PM-84-136 which stated, "The property owner proposes to divide two parcels for children who work the property. " Current assessor roles show that Michel Etcheverry, the applicant' s son, acquired title in July 1989 to one of the homesite parcels created in 1984 and that Bernadette Etcheverry, the applicant's daughter, acquired title to the other homesite parcel at the same time. Michel Etcheverry has built a home on his homesite parcel and is involved in the farming operation. The homesite parcel owned by Bernadette Etcheverry has not been built upon. The applicant has not supplied any evidence that Bernadette Etcheverry qualifies for a homesite parcel. A discrepancy between the staff report and the application is apparent. However, staff has concluded upon listening to the tape recordings from the Planning Commission hearings of July 19 and August 2 , 1984 , that the Planning Commission action was to conditionally approve the parcel map to create two homesite parcels, one for the owner-operator and one for a family member. At the Planning Commission hearing of July 19, 1984 , the homesite parcels are referred to three times as homesites for the owner- operator and a family member: (1) By the staff planner in the description of the project, (2) by the staff planner in a response to a question by a Planning Commissioner, and (3) by Dave Olmstead, representing the applicant, in his explanation of why the applicants did not wish to have frontage on Banta Road. At no time was it stated that the homesites were for two family members other than the owner-operator. The second issue is whether the design of the subdivision is consistent with Section 9-9380 of the Planning Title which states: "All parcels of land developed, created, or modified under the provision of this division shall be provided with access by frontage on a public roadway subject to the following exceptions: " (c) Parcels of land created by Minor Subdivision which, because of existing improvements physical conditions or other unique circumstances cannot have frontage may be created provided, however, that each lot so created is provided with a twenty-five (25) foot wide strip of land joined to the parcel it serves and further provided that the design is such that said access strips may be
