MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 14, 1990 through the property. The only means of access to this portion of Lot 2 would be through someone else's property. The Planner reported that Mr. Kroiss had indicated that a stairway could be constructed in the wall to provide access, however, this is not acceptable for getting lawn mowing equipment to the lower portion of the lot. The Planner described the four options he has proposed indicating that either options 1 or 2 would be his preference. Daubney responded that options 1 or 2, as suggested by the City Planner, involve easement agreements between the two lots. Daubney felt that easements were always an impediment to the marketability of a property and raise questions such as who will pay taxes for the portion of property involved in the easement area, who will maintain this portion of property, etc. Daubney requested that the Commission approve the lot split as proposed and stated that the property owner will provide for some type of pass - through in the wall to get maintenance equipment down to the lower portion of Lot 2. Daubney felt that the proposal as submitted was the best alternative to the situation and is the one that the property owner favors. Drabik felt that the Planner's option 2 made the most sense, since that option provided a walking easement over Lot 1 to the lower portion of Lot 2. Mr. Ray Kroiss indicated that he could leave the property as it was divided several years ago, however, is proposing the redivision before the Commission since it provides for better vehicular access to Lot 1. Kroiss felt that the options as proposed by the City Planner would result in the loss of several trees on the property. Mrs. Jeanne Kroiss asked how close the proposed driveway for Lot 1 would be to the wall as well as drainage easement. Mr. Kroiss responded that the drainage pipe through the property is a 30 -inch pipe which belongs to the State. Page 2
