Page -4- April 19, 1978 The area of the lot Mr. Wahlberg has sold is less than 22 acres since it includes the street easement. Mr. Wahlberg has completed a variance form for a lot of less than 22 acres. Mr. Shearen suggest the Council could look at the variance at the same time it considers upgrading that portion of 77th. Mr. Reinert moved to table Mr. Wahlbergs request for a variance for a lot of less than 2Z acres until the street situation is solved. Mr. Shearen seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. The Clerk was asked to ask Mr. Locher for his opinion on upgrading this part of 77th Street. North Northeast Reality Mr. Behm representing North Northeast Reality asked the Board if a variance coul be granted for a building permit on a 17 acre parcel of land owned by Mr. Jessie Heller.

Mr. Behm felt that if the street would have to be built then the whole 17 acres would have to be platted into small lots to recover the expense of the street. The Board did not take any action other than to tell Mr. Behm the property would need street frontage.
