128 D Chairman McLean called to order the regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Board at 7:02 P.M. on August 14, 1985. Members present: Cody, Doocy, Prokop, Klaus, Ostlie, Goldade, McLean. Members absent: none. Also present were City Planner, Zack Johnson; Building Official, Peter Kluegel; and Secretary, Shar Foster. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES - July 10, 1985 Mr. Prokop moved to approve the minutes of the July 10, 1985 meeting as presented. Motion seconded by Mrs. Klaus and carried unanimously. BUILDING OFFICIAL'S REPORT Mr. Kluegel reported that on July 22, 1985 City Council approved the Site and Building Plan from T. F. James Co. per the Planning and Zoning recommendations made at their July 10, 1985 meeting. He also reported that the Council passed on the engineering standards books to the Planning and Zoning Board. These books were requested by the P & Z after City Engineer, John Davidson's recommendation . that the City adopt these standards. At the Council's last meeting, there apparently was some concern shown that the P g Z Board requested these books from Mr. Davidson and that Council approval was not given prior to ordering the books. Mr. Doocy stated that he assumed that Mr. Davidson would clear this expense before forwarding the books to the P & Z Board. OPEN MIKE No one was scheduled or appeared under Open Mike. ROSELYN VAN ELSBERG - PRELIMINARY PLAT, VARIANCE -LOT SIZE E WIDTH Ms. Van Elsberg and Mr. Kluegel presented this request to the P 8 Z Board. Basically, this request is to divide a 33 acre parcel into three approximately equal lots. The proposed lots were each over ten acres as required by ordinance, however, there were easements which totalled more that 10% of the land. The ordinance places a limit of 10% of the land for easements. The Board discussed this problem and decided that because the easements were pre- existing, and due to the fact that this plat would create a better situation than currently exists, and the Planner's comments that this plat meets the intent and spirit of the ordinance; the plat should be approved. MOTION: Mr. Cody moved to recommend to Council approval of the application by Roselyn Van Elsberg, dated 4/19/85 for a preliminary plat and variance to lot size, for property located at 8017 20th Ave No., Hugo, as legally desribed on the application. The variance to minimum lot size should be allowed, as it relates to Section 4, Subdivision 6(2), because the applicant meets the requirements of unique characteristic with regard to the easements, and the hard- ship is not due to financial considerations alone, nor will the plat have a negative impact on the adjoining property values in 1 1
