• Page -2- March 8, 1978 not intended to impose undo hardship. He felt this part of the ordinance was directed to power lines and those who were splitting off from acreage and calculating the lot size from the center of the road, not necessarily utility easements or in some cases road easements. He also noted that if that particular street were completed the lots would be legal size since water and sewer would be available. Mr. Reinert suggested that when Mr. Gotwald makes written comments on plats in the future that he include comments on how the plat fits future City development. Mr. Gotwald suggested he could take a Z section map and draw in the new proposed plat. Mr. McLean asked if we have a master city map. Mr. Gotwald said no, but as each new area is platted he adds the streets to the City map. He said he could make a separ- ate map, however, it will not be an official map. Mr. Gourley asked if Mr. Menkvelds plat could be acted upon tonight showing a utility easement on all of the western boundry lots with the easement reconded on all deeds. Mr. Locher -said that ultimately whoever owns outlot "J" in Sunset Oaks will get tired of paying taxes on it and will abandon it or try to sell it to the City. If the ease- ment in Forest Glen is recorded as a utility easement and the City decides to build a road there using outlot "J", the City will have to condemn outlot "J" and buy it. Since the easement in Forest Glen is a utility easement whoever owns tha lot will pay taxes on it and maintain it until the time the easement is used by the City. Mr. Gourley asked who would insure that the easement gets recorded. Mr. LOcher said it would appear on the final plat map as an easement and the Clerk will have to in- sist on seeing the deed to make sure the easement was recorded on the deed before a building permit could be issued. It was also noted that proof of ownership is not presently required at the time persons apply for special use permits, variances, rezoning and platting. Mr. Gotwald suggested that persons who wish to change the land use appear with the prospective buyer at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting or the public hearing. Mr. Karth suggested that once a person obtains a purchase agreement he does have a vested interest in the property. Mr. Shearen moved to recommend to Council that the Forest Glan Plat be accepted with a utility and dreainage easement recorded on the west border line for a future road and that the easement be recorded on each deed and subject to recommendations of the Planner, Engineer, Rice Creek Watershed District Board and Anoka County Highway Dep- artment. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Gourley asked for suggestions on the Mar Don plat. Mr. Gotwald said that the future extension of 79th would have to be provided for. After further discussion, Mr. Reinert moved to recommend to Council that the Mar Don Plat be approved subject to the requirement that the fee owner shall, after the fil- ing of the plat execute a deed dedication to the City of Lino Lakes, of an easement for street and public utility purposes, on the north 30 feet of Tots one through eight, both inclusive, Block one of said plat and that no building permits shall be issued until such deed is delivered to the City and accepted by the Council. The in- tent shall be that such street shall not be opened or/and uless and until further dev- elopment demands the opening and use thereof and until the property owner to the north dedicates a 30 foot similar easement immediately north of and contiguous to said
