MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 24, 1990 Collova did not feel the situation was much different that the private road that is allowed for access to the lots in Ryan Industrial Park. Scalze pointed out that the situation involves a private driveway which the property owner is not indicating he will dedicate as a City street. Scalze felt that if the application is approved, the City is saying that it will allow additional lots on a private driveway. Fahey pointed out that there are already three lots being served by this private road, which was determined to be acceptable 40 years ago. Scalze pointed out that the situation is non-conforming today. Collova stated that he is in favor of approval, and pointed out that he has seen other cities approve similar situations. Fahey pointed out that the Hoffman request was a difficult one since the applicant was asking for 3 or 4 additional lots to be served by an existing concrete driveway. Scalze did not feel that the City should expand on any non-conformity. Scalze stated that she did not believe Mr. Ducharme always intended to divide this additional lot. Collova pointed out that properties are not split until ready to be developed, because the taxes are higher on divided property. Collova felt this situation was different from the Hoffman property since the Hoffman property was accessed via a private driveway intended to serve just one house. There was no one else from the general public present wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Blesener, seconded by LaValle, the public hearing was closed. Fahey felt that a hardship did exist in this case since there is no way a public street could be put in which is not the case in other instances. Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: Page 15
