34 COUNCIL MEETING MAY 26, 1992 However, certain procedures have to be completed before the Council can adopt a motion. Council Member Bergeson explained that Mr. Robinson is only looking for acknowledgement of his concept at this time. After further discussion on this matter, the matter was referred to the Park Board and should be placed on their June 1, 1992 agenda and brought back to the City Council on June 8, 1992. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REPORT Site Plan Review, Variance, T. Turcotte, Outlot A, Otter Lake Estates - Outlot A is an outlot created in 1977 as part of Otter Lake Estates and contains approximately 14 acres. The current zoning is Suburban Residential Executive (SR -X) which allows for 2 1/2 acre unsewered lots. Due to the environmentally sensitive nature of the site the City would encourage the limited low density development planned by Mr. Turcotte which is one (1) home on the site. A variance would be required for lot width since it is a lot which is required to have an 180 foot width and for fronting a lot on an unimproved City street. Outlot A can be accessed via a 60 foot wide right -of -way which was originally platted to be a City street when Outlot A was developed. This access meets all other City regulations. The staff has reviewed the request and recommends that in lieu of constructing a fully operational City street on this right -of -way a variance be granted to allow a private driveway agreement to be drafted between the property owner and the City allowing for the private temporary use of the public right -of -way. An agreement was drafted by the City Attorney. The Planning and Zoning Board has reviewed the request and recommend approval of the lot width variance and the variance to allow the use of the street right -of -way as driveway with execution of the driveway agreement and the condition that the request be reviewed by the Fire Chief. The Fire Chief has reviewed the site and indicated that he had no problem with the request. Council Member Elliott moved to approve the variances and site plan as submitted with execution of a driveway agreement prepared by the City Attorney. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Site Plan Review, Variance, A. LeTourneau, Outlot B - Mr. Schneider explained that this request is similar to the above request. Outlot B was created in 1977 when Otter Lake Estates was platted and contains approximately 9.9 acres. It also has a 60 foot right -of -way access. It is zoned as Outlot A (SR -X) and PAGE 5
