Members present: Karth, Kelling, Hill, Nadeau, Reinert, Sheaaen. Absent; None. Mr. McLean, Council liaison, was also present. Mr. Kelling moved to approve the minutes of October 20, 1976 as presented. Seconded by Mr. Reinert. Motion carried unanimously. Since the persons scheduled to appear at this time were not present, Chairman Gourley recognized'Mr. Welsch. Mr. Welsch owns Lot 2, Block 2, Nordin Manor and would like to construct a home on that lot. However, this lot has no street, nor is there an access street to the property. The easement for a proposed stree-tis only 33' in width. Mr. Welsch felt that since this is a registered plat, the construction of the streets aim the City's responsibility. Chairman Gourley said, No, the construction.ojstreets is the responsibility of the property owners. The acceptance of a plat does not include the streets until they are surfaced per City specifications, inspected by the Engineer, and approved by the Council for City maintenance. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Welsch if there are other perple involved in this and would there be a possibility of more construction on that street? Mr. Welsch said, Yes. Mr. McLean then suggested to Mr. Welsch to get these people together, presented a petition to the City for the installation of the street, this could then be done and the costs assessed to the affected properties. Mr. Welsch said he had attended this meeting to clarify just whose responsibilii it is to install the street. He asked if it would be necessary to get an easement for an additional 33' and was told, Yes. He will do some further checking with the other property and return at a later date. Mr. McLean presented his report as to the Council action taken on the recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Board meeting held in October. Mr. Joseph Huber had applied for two variance$'- one for each lot in the pro- posed split of his land with less than 150' frontage. Since these are large lots and have more than the required 2 acres, the Board felt this frontage would not present a problem. Mr. Shearen moved to recommend to the Council approval of these variances for two lots with less than the required 150' frontage. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Donna Butters, representing Mr. Kammerer, who owns land at the end of Marshan Lane was recognized by Chairman Gourley. Mrs. Butters had appeared before this Board at an earlier date. Most of the details had been worked out and Mrs. Butters presented a drawing of a cul-de-sac to.'be built so as to give this property 150' frontage. There was discussion on the placement of this cul-de-sac. Also, the fact this does not have to be a solid surface over the entire area - the center could be left without surfacing. Mr. Reinert moved to recommend approval of -this cul-de-sac to the City Council with the stipulation that Mrs. Butters do this according to the City Engineer's recommendations. Seconded by Mr. Nadeau. Motion carried unanimously. Ghairman Gourley reported on a complaint he had received in conjunction with the Molin Concrete Co.'s operations along 4th Avenue.
