Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada explained that at Belohavy Estates, Matt Thomas with Dana Point did the subdivision by Schwan's. These are houses and duplexes for families with low to moderate incomes. 
There is a duplex that is built into the setback by about three feet. They can not do a variance so they looked into buying 4-5 feet of property. 
City Attorney Anna Burge stated that at this point Matt Thomas has a contract for purchase the property but needs approval for financing this lot of land. He needs approval in order to attach it to the other land to fulfill the set backs. He needs to request an annexation of this property.
Ourada explained that since the owner is requesting the annexation there are steps that can be statutorily skipped.
