300 August 22, 1977 The figures presented will have to be checked against the cash flow. Mr. Zelinka said the Council had indicated the possibility of spending up to $5,000.00 on this street. Mr. Karth gave some figures of savings this past year on road expenditures suggesting that perhaps this could be used. There will be more discussion on this matter when a decision has been made by the County. Mr. McLean presented the actions of the Planning and Zoning Board from Nreir meeting held on August 17, 1977. Mr. Fran Burque had presented a request for a variance to a lot of less than the required 21 acres. This lot had been created by the installation of 1 35E. The Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval of this request. Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. George Ernster asked for permission for an extra long driveway. He has the reguizrdd frontage and is purchasing 10 acres of land. The most logical place to place a home is beyond the allowed driveway length. Mr. Ernster had been told the maintenance and upkeep of this driveway is his responsibility. The City will not assume any liability for keep- ing this driveway open for emergency vehicles. Mr. Ernster understood and agreed to those terms. Under those conditions, the Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval. Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Norris Aune had requested a variance to split a lot in the Lexington Park Lakeview area. Mrs. Aune said their garage had been constructed so that it is 2' inside the lot line on the South lot. This would create a lot with 115' frontage on Lakeview Avenue. The lot to the North would then have a front footage of 135 +'. The Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval of this variance provided Mrs. Aune had a certificate of survey before this meeting. The certificate of survey is attached. Mr. McLean moved to approve this variance. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Jerry Blackbird had presented a sketch for the platting of Twilight Acres #2, but some of the lots did not meet requirements. He will redraw and return to the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Swistoski and Mrs. Chorewycz had appeared before the Planning and Zoning Board with some questions on property they plan to purchase. They are looking at property at the end of 8Ist Street East containing 17+ acres for the purpose of establishing a commer- cial landscaping business. The Planning and Zoning Board had felt that since landscap- ing was considered agricultural, no permits were necessary. However, they passed this matter on to the Council saying that if the Council felt a permit for the keeping of a dump truck, back hoe, bob cat and trailer for use in landscaping was needed, they would approve. Mr. McLean pointed out the proposed usage is a permitted usage under Ordinance #56. Mr. McLean moved that no permit is required since the proposed usage of commercial landscaping falls into a permitted use catagory. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Roy Stanley had presented a request for six variances to split three lots in Sunset Oakes. This is necessary because it is a variance to the plat. The splitting of the lots gives all parcels of land the necessary area and frontage. The Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval. Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. The Planning and Zoning Board had considered some sign permit applications and had recomm- ended approval of I) Lee's of Lino; 2) Skyline Autobody; and 3) Rehbein Transit. Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Minutes carried forward to next book.
