September 19, 1979 -Planning and Zoning Page 2 zoning and was only to clear up transfer of title on the land. There was some dis- cussion, and it was noted the house should have been indicated on the drawing. Mr. Doocey moved to approve the variance for 7720 Lake Drive. Vi Schwankl seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion declared passed. The next item on the agenda was a preliminary discussion of Twilight III, El Rehbein and Son, with Mr. Blackbird present. He indicated they would like to plat the area into four one -acre pieces fronting on Lake Drive, the exception being the area deeded to Tim Rehbein. The lots would be 560 feet deep, and Mr. Blackbird's question was whether the entire area could be platted commercial with a variance on the back 160 feet, which would be landlocked. It was noted that the lots had 100 -ft frontages, and in an unsewered area, the requirement was 150 feet. Mr. Doocey consulted the ordinances on this, Mr. Blackbird asked if it was feasible with the right kind of sketch, whether a variance would be granted on the back 160 feet. This would be a rezone, and it was also adjacent to a residential area, which could be a problem with homeowners. An alternative suggested by Mr. McLean was to plat two lots with 150 -ft frontages as commercial or duplex, put a road in, and have the back lots as residential. Mr. Blackbird also had a matter involving the extension of 79th Street for a projected lot split. The problem lay with lining up the road extension with the existing 79th Street, which angled in from the south. Mr. Gourley read Marilyn Anderson's letter to the engineer stating the problem and asking for his comments, and also read the engineer's letter reviewing it. Lot B did not have a full 22 acres considering road easements; also the total net acreage did not add up to 5 acres. Mr. Blackbird explained that 79th Street angled about 15 degrees north, then turned right at the line and went into Moorhouses' property, stopping there. He indicated North -Northeast Realty would absorb the cost of the road, but had a question as to how the 33 -ft easement would be obtained from Mr. Moorhouse, and how to handle the road at the end of the property line. Mr. McLean felt this could be handled with some type of cul-de- sac, and Mr. Blackbird felt Mr. Moorhouse would probably give up the easement if they paid for the road, Mr. Gourley asked how the City handled getting the easements, and Mr. McLean indicated Mr. Blackbird would do that. Vi Schwankl brought up a similar situation of about a year and a half ago. Mr. Gourley asked about the other road easements, and Mr. Blackbird said they were vacated. The straightening of 79th Street was further discussed, and it was felt the details should be handled by the City engineer and the developer. Mr. Gourley noted that the existing road was entirely on the south easements and this would not match up at all if 33 -ft easements were taken on both sides of the ection line. Mr. Shearen moved to authorize the City Engineer to work with North:Northeast Realty on the extension of 79th Street for the projected lot split. Vi Schwankl seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion declared passed. It was noted that the developer would be absorbing the cost of the road. The next item on the agenda was a request for a rezone from Land and Oaks, Inc. There was no representative present. Next on the agenda was a plat for Forest Glen, with Mr. Menkveld present. The plat was first proposed in October of 1977, and the minutes of the April 10, 1978 public hearing were available. The plat had been approved at that time; however, it was never signed, and the one-year period was up in April of 1979. Mr. Menkveld was told that a new application and platting fee would be required. Mr. Menkveld had not realized this would be necessary, and had hoped to be able to go ahead with the plat at this meeting. Mr. Reinert moved to authorize the Clerk to forward all necessary materials regarding Forest Glen to the planner and engineer upon receipt of the fee
