1 1 1 February 28, 1977 Mr. Charles Nelson had appeared with a hand drawn sketch of Pine Vista, Block 2, asking for information as to the feasibility of this. The Planning and Zoning Board felt, if he could work out the access problem, there was no problem with the idea. Mr. Nelson is proposing the same size lots as in the first plat. He will complete his proposal and return. Mr. Ted Meyer, representing Drovers State Bank, presented a plat for the four unit townhouses on the West side of the lake. The lot had been redrawn giving more than the required footage on West Shadow Lake Drive. The lots that will be sold with each unit more than meet the City's requirements as does the land held in joint ownership. The Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval of this plat and a public hearing be set. Mr. McLean so moved with the public hearing to be scheduled for March 28, 1977 at 8:30 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Marlin Hansen, representing the Otter Lake Estates appeared before the Plann- ing and Zoning Board. This Plat had been presented originally as a phase 1 and a phase 2 development. Mr. Hansen said they had decided to eliminate phase 2, and only plat the phase 1 portion. After some discussion, the Planning and Zon- ing Board recommended approval of the preliminary plat for Phase 1, Otter Lake Estates only, including lots 1 - 4,.Block 5, eliminating Lot 8 of Block 4. Open Space requirement would be money in lieu of land, with the stipulations that app- roval of the Rice Creek Watershed District, Planner, Engineeer and the Anoka County Highway Department be forth coming. Mr. Karth so moved. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried with Mr. McLean abstaining. Mr. Karth moved to set a public hearing on this plat for April 11, 1977 at 8:30 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried with Mr. McLean abstaining. There had been no response from Mr. Ronald Rasmussen of the United Tire Company in reference to the variance for the new building constructed too near the street. The Clerk was instructed to write to Mr. Rasmussen and request the variance applic- ation be submitted for the next meeting. Also, inform him he could be red tagged on the construction. Mr. Tim Rehbine had presented a hand drawn sketch of a proposed plat of some land just south of Main Street behind the homes now existing. This was proposed in 100' lots. He was told he needed 150' with one acre lots. Mr Rehbine said the land is such that it would be impossible to plat with those requirements. He also asked the Planning and Zoning about combining a small triangle of land with the lot his home is located on in Twilight Acres and then splitting the lot for another building site. This combination and split utilizes the land better than at the present and the Planning and Zoning Board had no objections to the action. Mr. Rehbine will get the legal and apply for the variance. Mr. Schneider reported on the Park Board meeting held on February 21, 1977. Most of the meeting had been used discussing the meeting held at the Bunker Park Activ- ity Center in conjunction with the Open Space. There had also been some discuss- ion on the park area in the Country Lakes Plat. Mr. McLean said there had never been any dedication of land for a park in that area. It had been discussed and the general area on the West side. =of the lake near the creek had been decided upon, but the acreage had not been decided due to constant change in Mr. Jandric's plans. Mr. McLean suggested this should be cleared before the land changes hands again. Mr. McLean moved to have the Attorney contact the present owner of the land for the park dedication. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously.
