MINUTES City Council May 27, 1.987 Leibel was an assessment for sanitary sewer. There is no watermain in the Variance -: area. (Cont.) 7. Leibel pointed out that his brother will have to run sewer to the property and will also have to install a sewer "T" connection which is expensive. Fasciana reported that he believed that Mr. Bob DeBace paid the assessments for the property currently owned by Mr. Larson, as Fasciana sold the property to DeBace, who constructed the home on the property. Fasciana pointed out that he previously offered the property behind 122 Twin Lake Blvd. to the previ.ousowners of the property who were not interested in acquiring it. • V Leibel pointed out that by developing the property, the appearance of the property will be improved. Leibel also pointed out that there are currently 3 tenants in 140 Twin Lake Blvd. and under the proposal to construct one house and provide access to 140 Twin Lake Blvd. directly on the street, there will be a lot less traffic. Fahey felt that as a condition of the variance approval, the _a property would not be allowed to be subdivided later. Leibel stated that he and his brother would be agreeable to this. :T.,, Scalze pointed out that the property has been a problem in the past that was created by the City. Scalze felt the proposal would be a resolution of the problem. Collova asked if the easement is currently paved. Leibel explained that a portion of the easement is paved. Leibel also explained that the acquisition of the triangular piece of property necessary for access to 140 Twin Lake Blvd. is a complicated matter and this is the reason the 3 -year variance is being requested. Mr. Ernest Larson, property owner of 122 Twin Lake Road, appeared before the Council and reported that when he purchased his property it was with the assumption that the property behind his home was landlocked and would be difficult to build on. Larson also pointed out that he felt the price being asked for the property was greater than its value. Larson stated that the property was a nice wildlife area and provided a nice view. Larson stated that he was of the impression that the property was unaccessable and would like to see it remain that way for the value of his property. Fahey stated that the problem arises in that the City approved a lot split for this property and now there are lots for which the property owner istpaying taxes and should be able to develop. Fahey felt the proposal before the Council improved the situation and eliminated the difficulty of future requests and subdivisions of the property. Parc, -7- Page 43
