Planning & Zoning Board October 9, 2024 Page 5 DRAFT MINUTES Mr. Root initiated a discussion regarding lot size and density and thought in the future when the requirements change that the larger third lot could be divided. Ms. Larsen said they calculated the area, and it did not meet the range for a four lot division. Perhaps in the future it will. Mr. Guthmueller did not think they should approve without seeing the 3 lot plan. Ms. Larsen said there were two options, approve it with the conditions that they make all the revisions that they are required to do or continue the public hearing. Ms. Larsen said they could also deny the Preliminary Plan and Variance but is not recommended as she feels they can meet the requirements. The applicant Mr. Mithcell Spargur, 12952 96th Street NE, Otsego, MN 55330. Mr. Spargur said there is already sewer and water for each lot on the property. Mr. Spargur thought the lot should be divided into three lots and farther down the road they could possibly create a fourth lot. Their dilemma was how to break up the lots as to not abandon the sewer and water that is available along with the park dedication fees, the $35,000 assessment on that lot, plus a $400 to $450,000 tax base. It only makes sense to do a four-lot split. If he is not able to, he would abandon the one on Lois Lane because it is financially less expensive to leave the sewer and water. Mr. Root opened the public hearing at 8:11 p.m. No public comments were made. Mr. Wipperfurth moved to continue the public hearing. Motion seconded by Mr. Laden. The public hearing will be continued at the November meeting. Motion carried 5 - 0. 7. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Project Updates Mr. Grochala provided project updates. Mr. Wipperfurth moved to adjourn the meeting. Motion seconded by Mr. Kohler. Meeting adjourned at 8:26 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Julie Whitney – Community Development Administrative Assistant
