Public Hearing Continued
Subdivision - Lindig's Continuation of Public Hearing on Subdivision of Lindig's
Addition No. 3s Addition No. 3 was approved by Resolution at the council
meeting of July 27, 1966, therefore, Bearing was called
to order at 8:00 P.~. with interested parties present.
Mrs. Emil Anderson, 1707 Fairview stated they had contacted
to buy the lot in question ever since they moved into
their home, but had not done anything about it since the
last meeting of the council.
doe Bianchi 1~Vhen my land was subdivided, you set an easement. I
1725 Fairview: understand this is of no value now and I want to know if
the Village wants the land as of now. The utility lines
right now do not have the right of way. If easement is
going to go in different directions, it is going to be of
little value. If you draw easement along property lines
2Ii19
to the west of me and south of me, 3ust ghat is the
value? Maybe it should be returned to the .owners.
~1lrs. Emil Anderson: If there are no future difficulties, it would seem all
right.
Attorney Galvin: No one had considered the requirement of connecting the
existing easement on the Bianchi-French property with
the easement on the Lindig property. As a practical
question, the pourer company is not going to make any
change.
Bianchi: If somebody decides to divide and make it two hundred
feet, same as I did, some of those people are going to
be five or ten feet to the west. The line will be
staggered.
Galvins When they do decide to sell their property, they have
to make application for subdivision, Some advance
planning had been considered when you subdivided your
property, and. any future council will have to give long
and careful consideration to establishing a line., I
think the council had given consideration to making that
line other than where it is now on your lot. Common
sense is going to have to prevail in the future
decisions, The only control the council has is the
application for subdivision,
The council can reserve easement on the east and north
five feet. The power company may impose some conditions.
I am not sure what they are going to do. They probably
do not want to run two lines to serve Lindig Street and
~.~airview Avenue. They might move twenty to thirty feet
over onto Mr. Lindig's property and R2r. Lindig or his
successors would have to agree to it if they want any
service.
Nilsen: ~Zr. Bianchi, regarding your line, where it was established
was the most reasonable considering all the factors.
Tt just happenec that you were the first one and it
seemed like a reasonable thing considering all angles.
Ydith regard to ten foot easement, it is impossible to
have only a five foot easement for water flow - you
cannot accomplish anything.
~'~farkentien introduced the folloering resolution and moved
its adoption:
Resolution ~°dHEREAS, rdr. and i~trs. Arthur Lindig have made
Approving Preliminary application to the Village Gouncil of Falcon Heights for
Plat - Lindig Addition a subdivision to be known as Lindig's Addition No. 3
