145 <br />COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 28, 1991 <br />to answer any questions from the Council Members. He noted that <br />the burning permit process is not included in the 1988 fire <br />codes. <br />Chief Bennett explained that the most important change in the <br />1988 Code is the requirement for fire sprinklers in all new <br />commercial buildings. This means that any new commercial <br />building of any size must have municipal water available to them <br />to make the fire sprinklers practical. <br />Council Member Reinert asked if this matter will go through the <br />hearing process. Chief Bennett said that the change will be made <br />through an ordinance amendment. This requires two (2) readings. <br />Council Member Reinert suggested that a task force of people who <br />would be affected by the proposed changes be formed to gather <br />input from all those affected by the changes. <br />Mayor Bisel said he would like a work session on this matter so <br />that all differences can be discussed. <br />DESIGN REVIEW BOARD <br />Minor Subdivision, McLean, LeTourneau, ETAL - Mr. Miller <br />explained that the applicants have joint ownership of a parcel of <br />land known as Outlot B of Otter Lake Estates. At this time they <br />wish to subdivide Outlot B into two (2) parcels, one (1) <br />containing 3.62 acres and the second containing 9.9 acres. <br />The smaller parcel has 280 feet of frontage on Otter Lake Drive <br />and includes land known locally as "the island ". This parcel is <br />almost completely surrounded by the Otter Lake Channel and is not <br />buildable. The applicants would like to reserve this parcel for <br />recreational purposes and as a memorial to their parents. The <br />applicants plan to sell the larger parcel for the development of <br />single family homes. The DRB considered this request and <br />recommended approval subject to the recommendation that the <br />smaller parcel be deeded to the Otter Lake Homeowners Association <br />or some other Otter Lake land owners group. <br />There was discussion regarding access to the smaller parcel by <br />using a foot bridge. It was noted that this bridge would be on <br />private property and the City would have no liability for this <br />structure. <br />There was discussion regarding what would happen to the smaller <br />parcel in the distant future if the Hanson family is no longer <br />interested in the parcel and it becomes tax forfeit. It was <br />explained that the land would become tax forfeit and the City <br />would be given the option to obtain title to the property. If <br />the City decided not to obtain title, the land would remain in <br />PAGE 3 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
