1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />Al Robinson questioned where on the property will the proposed <br />construction be to allow for a 800 foot set -back. Mr. Tubbs, the <br />realtor for Susan Augustine - who was in the audience, stated the <br />construction will be at 650 feet from the road. <br />Monika Slatten asked why the diagional line is on the survey, and <br />Mr. Schneider explained that it lines up with the crossing across <br />a pond, it is build up with a culvert. Mr.- Tubbs said a <br />preliminary driveway is already in place. Mrs. Slatten also asked <br />if this met with the approval or Robert Sorg. Mr. Tubbs stated <br />that both parcels belong to Susan Augustine. <br />Motion: Al Robinson made the motion to recommend to the City <br />Council approval of a Minor Subdivision for Susan Augustine, P & Z <br />92 -02. John Bergeson seconded the motion. <br />Fred Chase made the comment that with a variance there is a need <br />for a finding of fact and 1) 58 feet is not wide enough for a road <br />and more land is needed from the adjacent property owner and 2) 30 <br />feet definitely needs more land from the adjacent property owner <br />and better indicates this circumstance. <br />The motion carried unanimously. <br />Motion: Robert King moved to recommend to the City Council <br />approval of a Variance for Susan Augustine, P & Z 92 -02.
