Planning & Zoning Board January 8, 1997 Page 5 Mr. Brixius stated that after the individual closings the lots could be combined • into one contiguous parcel. • • Ms. Wyland suggested condition No. 8 state that after the individual closings, Lots A,C &E be combined and Lots G and I be combined. Mr. Dunn expressed concern about rezoning this property to R -1 before finalizing the Comprehensive Plan, which will be completed this year. Mr. Gordy Johnson 115 Lilac Street, stated that he owns Lot D. He fought against Behms Century Farms, but it passed. He intends to move out of Lino Lakes to a more rural area. Mr. Uhde plans to purchase his entire property of 2.5 acres. He requested the Board to approve the rezoning and minor subdivision so he and the other property owners can move on. Mr. Mike Caulfield stated that he owns Lot F and supports this application. Mr. Jack Hurley stated that he owns Lot C and would not mind seeing more homes with more children in the neighborhood for his children to play with. He has no objections to this application. Ms. Wyland noted that notices were sent to property owners within 600 feet of these parcels. Two telephone calls were received from residents south of Lilac. Their main interest is whether the sewer would be brought closer to them. The City has received no objections. Mr. Wessel noted that there are several homes east of Behms Century Farms. He asked if those property owners signed a waiver for sewer and water. Ms. Wyland responded that they did not sign a waiver, but at that time there was no request for sewer or for property to be further subdivided. Typically a waiver is requested when property owners ask to reduce the square footage of their existing lot. Mr. Caulfield stated that at the last meeting Mr. Uhde's engineer indicated that his drain field is half on his lot and half on the proposed Lot E. His concern is that if his septic system fails, he does not want to be responsible for cleaning up the drain field on Lot E that will no longer be his property. Mr. Uhde stated that he would be willing to negotiate an agreement to grant Mr. Caulfield a drainage easement. If there is clean up to be done, he will take care of it for his property. Mr. Brixius stated that arrangement would be between the property owner and the developer with no involvement or enforcement rights on the part of the City.
