MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 12, 1995 Howard Remerowski, 253 Twin Lake Trail, submitted pictures of the homes on Twin Lake Trail. Remerowski reported that there are older homes on Twin Lake Road, but the oldest home on Twin Lake Trail was 12 years old. Keis again stated that his biggest concern is how this house will fit in the neighborhood. Keis stated that he hated to see a house moved in that does not fit, and pointed out that there is no garage proposed for this home. Keis felt the Commission must consider whether or not this house would detract from property values in the area. Al Graf stated that the value of the house his son is proposing to move in will be at the low end, but it will fit in the neighborhood. Graf reported that there are plans to eventually add a deck and garage. Tony Hall, 244 Twin Lake Trail, reported that there is standing water on the lot in question, and asked where the water will be pushed to when the lot is filled. Remerowski reported that the existing property owners on Twin Lake Trail are trying to protect their property values. Remerowski stated that he would not have a problem with a stick -built house in the $80,000 bracket. Remerowski stated that the house proposed to be moved in does not fit in with the rest of the neighborhood. Remerowski pointed out that the lot has been on the market for the past 12 years and has not sold because it is a swamp. Al Graf reported that the lot would be filled in. Hall asked where the water will go if the lot is filled. The City Planner indicated that the lot is less than one acre in size, therefore, probably exempt from wetland status. However, a fill permit would be required, and the City Engineer would review that permit application. Al Graf reported that if the lot cannot be filled, they would not proceed with the purchase. There were several Twin Lake Trail property owners 5 Page 102
