• • • Planning & Zoning Board June 10, 1998 Page 7 Mr. Chuck Lund, K.C. Development Co., stated that when the project began he was unaware of the 90' lot requirements. Because it is a small development, he would not like to lose even one lot. Financially, losing one lot would be a hardship because they still have to develop all the streets. The lots that overlook the creek will sell for a substantial amount of money. Chair Schaps declared the public hearing open at 7:30 p.m. Ms. Sue Walseth, 1101 Holly Drive, came forward and stated that ditch 25 is 115' from her property. The 10 lots she owns would have a very small impact on ditch 25. She stated that there are currently trails on busy streets in the City. She indicated that Lot #8 is within 6' of the minimum specification. Ms. Walseth stated that there is not wetland on lot #1. The lot sizes on Lots #1 and #2 are larger than the minimum specifications. She stated that the corner lot width has been reduced the length is larger than what is required. Ms. Walseth encouraged the Board to allow the sale of her 10 lots to go through. She stated that City recommended development of her property many years ago. Mr. Dunn asked if she is the current owner of the property. Ms. Walseth stated that she is the current owner of the property.
