MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 14, 2007 The City Administrator stated it was his understanding that the concept being considered includes common shared driveways. Names explained the concept which would include access for the corner not from Little Canada Road. The other four lots would front on Edgerton Street and two accesses would be proposed on Edgerton Street. Two lots would share each of these access points. Hames pointed out that this would minimize the impact to Edgerton Street. Blesener noted that the shared driveway concept does not comply with the City's Code. The City Administrator noted that the City has not allowed shared driveways, and suggested that this concept be discussed with the City Planner. The Administrator also recommended that the City Attorney be instructed to put together the moratorium ordinance for action by the Council at its next meeting. Names asked if the Council would also consider exemptions from that ordinance at the next meeting. The City Administrator indicated that once the moratorium is enacted, exemptions could be considered. He again suggested that the development concept for 565 Little Canada Road be reviewed with the City Planner prior to submittal. The Council indicated that the concept being discussed looked like a good one, but again pointed out that it should be presented to the Planner for his review and comment. Blesener stated that the City is not trying to stop development, and again noted that the recent plats have been objectionable to the neighbors. Lots are proving to be too small and too narrow for the character of the neighborhoods in which they are being developed. Allan felt that the concept presented this evening for the Huot property was a very good one and exactly what the City would like to see. Keis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2007-11-291- INSTRUCTING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO DRAFT AN ORDINANCE THAT WOULD ENACT A MORATORIUM ON THE PROCESSING OFSINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PLATS CONSISTING OF FOUR LOTS OR MORE FOR PRESENTATION TO THE COUNCIL FOR ACTIONAT ITS NOVEMBER 28, 2007 MEETING The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw.
