Page 3 Planntngg and Zoning Commission, May 16, 1979 are paid. No further variances will be granted. Mr. Shearen seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion declared passed. The Council meeting is May 29. The variance for a long driveway for Mr. and Mrs. Alexejew was next on the agenda, with Mrs. Alexejew appearing. She presented a drawing and pointed out the proposed 800 -foot driveway. There was a perk test for the house location, which was approved. She was told if she boards horses later on, she will need a special permit. The Commission notified her that it will be her responsibility to maintain the drive- way in a condition suitable for emergency vehicles, fire trucks, ambulances, police and so on; it is not the city's responsibility. Mr. Reinhert moved to recommend that the variance be granted for the approximately 800 -foot driveway. Mr. Shearen seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion declared passed. The matter would be on the Council agenda for May 29 for final approval. A variance for William Dian for transfer of a piece of land less than 22 acres was next on the agenda. The developer, Tim Rehbein, was present representing Mr. Dian. A house had been built too close to the lot line in this case, and the city requires that it be 10 feet from the property line. The variance is for transfering a strip of property from the adjoining lot to satisfy this requirement. Mr. Mobley said that he had informed the builder that they were too close to the lot line; instead of using the monuments, they had used the utility lines and that's why they were off. He said they will be tagged in the future if this happens. Mr. McLean brought up the question of whether the adjoining land was going to still be one acre. Mr. Gourley said that an appli- cation for a variance would have to be made for both lots as they would both be less than one acre. Another variance application for the second lot would have to be made and the fee paid. Mr. Shearen moved that approval be recommended to the Council for this variance, and for the second variance, to be forwarded to the Council, based on hardship. Vi Schwankl seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion declared passed. The second application, survey, and fee is needed before the Council meeting on May 29. Tim Rehbein asked to be put on the agenda for the next regular meeting for a matter of feasibility. The variance application for Random, Inc., on the agenda for this meeting, had been handled at the special meeting of the P&Z on May 2. The next matter was a variance for the owner -of -record Howard Cluckey, with Ray Johnson appearing. This was for splitting a lot (lot 1) in the Lexington -Lakeview area. Precendents have already been set for splitting corner lots in that area:, the only requirement asked for in the past has been that the lots be split exactly in half unless an existing building prevents it. This would be going less than one acre, but precedents have already been set in the Lexington -Lakeview area. Mr. Shearen moved to recommend approval of this variance. Mr. Doocey seconded -- the motion. All were in favor. Motion declared passed. Mr. Plemmons' variance request was the next matter on the agenda. This had been considered previously and was denied (lot 1B) at the last regular meeting because it did not contain the one free acre minimum. Mr. Plemmons presented a new survey that does have one free acre; lot 1B is now 43,602 square feet. There is also the other 150 foot frontages on Baldwin Road by 300 feet deep, making a total of 45,000 square footage. Mr. Plemmons said that the Commission had indi- cated that he didn't need the plat --that he could go ahead with what he had. This was at the April 18 meeting. Mr. Gourley said it was not noted in the minutes. Mr. Gourley asked that the clerk start asking people to plat on anything of 2 lots
