MINUTES CITY COUNCIL May 23, 1990 The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by LaValle. Ayes (5) Blesener, LaValle, Scalze, Collova, Fahey. Nays (O). Resolution declared adopted. KROISS Council reviewed the application submitted by Mr. Ray SUBDIVISION Kroiss for subdivision of a small triangular piece of property from Lot 2, Block 1, Gervais Lake Second Addition, and attaching it to Lot 1. It was noted that the Planning Commission tabled action on this request since there was no one present to answer some questions that they had. John Daubney, attorney representing Mr. Kroiss, requested that the Council approve the subdivision contingent upon approval of the Planning Commission. Daubney reported that the property division being requested follows the natural separation of the property due to a wall which runs through the property as well as a drainage easement. Daubney also pointed out that the division will improve the access for Lot 2 pointing out the topography of the property. Daubney reported that no variances are being requested and both lots will exceed minimum lot size requirements. Scalze stated that her only question had to do with the retaining wall and access to the rear portion of Lot 2. The Planner stated that this was his concern as well, pointing out the height of the retaining wall and the need for the owners of Lot 2 to be able to maintain the rear portion of their property. The Planner pointed out that access could be provided via a stairway through the wall. Daubney reported that it would not be expensive for the property owner to install a stairway through the wall pointing out that the height of the wall is 4 feet. Daubney pointed out that the triangular piece of property the applicant wishes attached to Lot 1 is high ground and will provide driveway access for the lot. There was no one else from the general public present wishing to comment on this matter. Page 2
