COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 12, 1997 Council Member Kuether expressed concern that the owner of Lot 18 was not notified. Mr. Kelly speculated they have no idea of the direction the house on Lot 19 was supposed to face. Council Member Bergeson asked why the south boundaries of these lots do not match up. Ms. Wyland explained this is how those lots were platted. Mr. Wessel noted staff has consistently indicated the Council set these conditions so the property owners have not been notified -- that would be the responsibility of the developer. Council Member Kuether moved to not reconsider Council conditions for Lot 19, Block 5, Behm's Century Farms, 256 Palomino Avenue, requiring Lot 19 to have a northerly orientation, thereby denying the proposed construction. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion failed with Bergeson and Kuether voting aye and Landers, Lyden, and Neal voting nay. Council Member Lyden moved to reconsider Council conditions for Lot 19, Block 5, Behm's Century Farms, 256 Palomino Avenue, requiring Lot 19 to have a northerly orientation, thereby allowing the proposed construction conditioned upon written response of support from the owner of Lot 18. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried with Landers, Lyden, and Neal voting aye and Bergeson and Kuether voting nay.
