MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 22, 1999 from the Klidzejs property so that there would be adequate right-of-way to develop a road to provide access on an improved public street for both the Klidzejs lots and the Mitchell property. Scalze pointed out that this was the only way that the Council would approve the Klidzejs property division at that time. Oberhamer stated that he has revised his plan due to the opposition of the Klidzejs family to the development of the road as well as the cost of the road given that the size of the cul-de-sac being required would reduce the amount of lots he could develop. The City Planner indicated that ori~inally Oberhamer had proposed five lots and the new road was necessary to provide access to one or two of these lots. Given the limited number of lots on the road, it was felt that it would be appropriate to reduce the size of the cul-de-sac or even change it to a hammerhead design. However, the City Engineer and Public Works Director have recommended a full cul-de-sac for easy access for snowplows and garbage trucks. Oberhamer reviewed Options A and B which both propose a three-lot development with access on Twin Lake Road. Oberhamer preferred Option A since sewer could be accessed by all three lots without the need for sewer easements crossing lots. The City Planner indicated that the three lots in Option A do meet the City's minimum standards and would not require the construction of Mitchell Trail. However, that leaves the dilemma ofthe Klidzejs lots and the fact that they do not have access on an improved public street. The Planner noted that the Klidzejs house at 3246 Twin Lake Road accesses the street via a driveway on the north side of 3248 Twin Lake Road. The house at 3244 Twin Lake Road uses the Mitchel Trail right-of-way for access. Scalze noted that the Klidzejs property division was approved at the time without access on an improved street as a temporary situation given that the owners of the Mitchell property were not interested in developin~ at that time. Oberhamer reported that he is not askin~ that Mitchell Trail be vacated. Morelan pointed out that the original concept was for a five-lot development. Oberhamer described that concept but pointed out that due to Shoreland Ordinance requirements, he had to cut back to four lots in order to meet minimum lot size standards. He is now proposing to cut back to three lots with access to Twin Lake Road and no new street.
