4/24/72 asked Mr. Cardinal to recommend to the Park Board that they make some headway towards the Comprehensive Plan. The hearing for the fina l plat of Chomonix South, First and Second Additions, was called to order at 8:30 P.M. Mr. Marier asked members to read over the P &Z account of their hearing before listening to the representative from Chomonix. Bill Meyer, representing Jandric, asked for approval of the record plat which is the legal survey document. He noted they had divided the plat in two parts to facilitate ease in platting, and that a portion of this reamins an outlot. Mr. Meyer noted that a few of the Tots had been widened out to facilitate double garages. Mrs. Swanson asked why we hadn't received copies of the plat sooner and was informed that copies had arrived in adequate time for the P &Z hearing. Mr. Marier reiterated the comments made by the Planner in regard to the 50' setback from Birch St. and the landscaping responsibilities. Mr. Meyer said that there was actually a 51' setback since there was 41' from the roadway to the platted lot line and 10' between the lot line and the building. Mr. Bohjanen asked if Outlot A had been revised. Mr. Meyer said it had not, except for very minot line differences which occured when the actual lines were computed since the original preliminary drawings. Mr. Marier noted the comments from the P &Z minutes on this. Mr. Locher checked the distances between the two maps, stating that they were close; one was 3' different. Mr. Meyer explained how the differences cam about again. There was discussion on what these lines mean particularly on lakeshore property. Mrs. Swanson wondered if we don't think this is something to keep in mind when approving things on shorelines. Mr. Marier said using the meander lines was usually done. Mr. Locher thought Mr. Meyer might explain why the plat was done in two parts. Mr. Meyer noted that when they check the field footings, the property line has to lie on the footing line; this check is done before the final platting, but the plat has to be filed before they deliver the first unit. Mr. Locher noted that 1 part of the plat had to go on a separate sheet to accomodate the County using a different map scale. There was discussion on the 50' setback and on the setback of the building in Block 12 closest to Birch St. as Unit 4 of that Block has a 30' setback. Mr. Locher read from Section 4.06 of Ord. 56 which states that a setback of 40' is required from a thoroughfare. Mr. Locher noted that Suburban had allowed an extra 17' besides the existing width of Birch St. on their plat, and that the County has not acquired the additional 17'. This was platted as such in anticipation of the County acquiring the additional footage. Mr. Locher noted that Lino Lakes doesn't have a thoroughfare map showing this, but basically County roads have been felt to be thoroughfares. He stated that the Planner did make allowances for screening. Members thought that this particular setback might become a future problem. Mr. Meyer asked that the Council approve the final plat for the First Addition, and that the Second Addition be tabled until a change is made that would be in conformance with the code. Mr. Marier moved to approve the final plat of the First Addition on Chomonix South and that the Second Addition be held for a setback change to be made on Unit 4 in the part of Block 12 facing Birch Street. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. The final plat hearing for the Second Addition was put on the agenda before the P &Z on May 17th and before the Council on May 22nd, both hearings at 9 P.M. Mr. Jaworski asked the Clerk to make copies of Mr. Gotwald's cost estimates for members, noting that he would like to go over these with George first as well as get some cost estimates on gravel to use the rest of the year.
