MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 11, 2007 division is the proposed location of the house. She noted that the house would be set 7 %z feet from her rear property line. Berggren stated that she understands that this setback complies with City Codes; however, felt the house appears to be crammed into the lot. Berggren suggested that the southern lot line be adjusted to widen the lot so that the house can be moved further from her property line. Berggren suggested that it may be necessary to move the hockey rink to accommodate the lot line adjustment. Knudsen noted that Mrs. Berggren's house is a good distance from her rear property line. Berggren replied that that was true, but indicated that construction of this new house will eliminate a wildlife area. Berggren indicated that she has about 10 trees in her backyard, and the Boss's recently took down about 14 trees. Berggren stated that her main concern was the closeness of the house to her rear property line. She felt that with some adjustments in the location of the southern property line or the angle of the house, it could be located further from the property line. Diane Hanson, 40 LaBore Avenue, asked about the vacated portion of Boss road and how close Boss Road would be to her home if it is improved all the way through to LaBore Avenue. The City Planner noted that according to the survey submitted for the property division, the brick grill is just on the right-of--way for Boss Road. The Planner indicated that in order to proceed with the property division, the applicant will be required to construct an asphalt street with curb and gutter at least up to the new driveway. The Planner indicated that the Council will consider the road improvement at a public hearing on Tuesday, January 23`d, at 8:00 p.m. At that hearing the Council will consider whether Boss Road should go all the way through to LaBore Road or if it should end in a cul-de-sac. Knudsen asked about the road improvement in relation to the proposed property division. The City Planner indicated that the property division meets all Code requirements subject to Boss Road being improved. The Planner again noted that the Council will consider the road improvement at a hearing on January 23`d. The property division will then be presented to the Council for action at a public hearing on January 24`" Knudson again noted that other than the driveway adjustments recommended by the City Planner, the property division meets Code.
