• • PLANNING AND ZONING FEBRUARY 10, 1988 * Status of LaMotte Drive regarding heavy duty equipment coming in. Will roadway have to be rebuilt in a couple of years? Ron Stahlberg couldn't answer the question regarding the roads, but he said the road does not meet the present standards. Steve Anderson - 1582 LaMotte Drive - Anderson's concern was: * You can dig anywhere and hit water three feet down. Jim Hines - 6918 LaMotte Drive - Hine's was concerned with: * The City made him dig six to eight feet down and replace it with sand. Mr. Kent Roessler said the soil problems will be corrected. The homes in this area will be financed by FHA, an agency that has very strict rules for approval of the housing. Mike Mastro - 1553 LaMotte Drive - He said he bought his property 11 years ago and he had a good road then. When the developer is done the road will be torn up again. Are the owners going to be assessed $3,000 or more for road repairs? MOTION: Prokop moved that a verbal application by Kent Roessler at this meeting for a variance to a cul- -de -sac on the plats entitled Lake View Place, the cul -de -sac on the specific plat is 290 feet longer than the allowable permitted length in the ordinance be granted a variance for the following reasons: 1. The developer acted in good faith and the question of the length of the Cul -de -sac wasn't mentioned until this Planning and Zoning meeting. 2. Six findings of fact that need be made according to the zoning ordinance appear to be met. The platting is the best usage. The plat of the land owner is due to the circumstances unique to the property to wit the location surrounded by i.e. lack of roadway, St. Paul waterworks easements. Property useage is reasonable to the east if variance is granted. 3. The plight of the land is not due to economic reasons
