Wyland reviewed this request which is to split the property at 985 Birch into two parcels of property approximately 104' wide by 208' deep. The property is Zoned R1 Residential and sewer and water is available to serve the site. MOTION: Mesich moved approval of the request provided the existing dwelling at 985 Birch Street is connected to the sewer and water. Nordine seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried. C. 92 -26, Salberg, 7678 20th Street, Subdivision M. K. Wyland reviewed this request which is to rearrange lot lines to provide for the sale of an existing home and acreage. The new lot arrangement would provide a parcel of property 8.765 acres in size thereby requiring a variance for 1.235 acres. MOTION: After some discussion Gelbmann stated that there was no apparent hardship in not meeting the 10 acre requirement as adequate acreage is available to the rear of this property, therefore he would recommend Option 1 of the Staff Report approving the realignment of lot lines with the addition of acreage from the east to provide a total of 10 acres for the new parcel. Landers seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried. D. 92 -27 Cottage Homesteads, Rezoning on Elm Street Al Brixius, NAC, advised the Planning & Zoning Board that the staff had met with the developer just prior to the meeting and determined that some changes in the site plan would be required. It was therefore recommended that this item be held over until next month to allow the developer time to redesign the site plan. Chairman Schaps advised the audience that this item would be held over until the August 12th meeting of the Planning & Zoning Board. E. 92 -29 Roger Kolstad, Carl & Thomas Street, Variance Al Brixius, NAC, reviewed this request which is to allow a 3 ton road to be extended at a width of 24'. The Code has changed since the Lino Air Park was originally approved and constructed and the requirements now include a 7 ton roadway with a 33' width. Mr. Brixius explained that there is no apparent hardship in this case and would recommend denial of the variance request. • Mr. Kolstad was present and stated that when the ordinance was changed concerning the width of streets his subdivision was of PLANNING & ZONING BOARD • JULY 8, 1992 • record and he was not notified regarding the change. He further indicated that it is not feasible for them to develop the remaining lots with a wider street. Sewer and water is not available and probably will not be for a very long time, if ever, and he does not feel that curb and gutter necessary. Traffic in the area is minimal and will remain that way and the larger lots allow plenty of off street parking. Dedication of a 66' right of way would be provided, it is merely the constructed width of the street that is at question. Concerns of the Planning & Zoning Board included parking, safety in regard to the narrow streets and emergency vehicle access. Mr. Mesich asked why the narrower streets were not grandfathered in and was advised that this is a new development, thereby the current requirements apply. Mr. Brixius also explained that if the Board considers approving the request they should specify the uniqueness of the site to prevent other developments from seeking the same variance. He also suggested addressing drainage, restrictions on development, a 60' right of way dedication, and agreements to be assessed for sewer and water when available. MOTION: Landers recommended Option 1 denying the request for a variance to construct substandard streets. Nordine seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried. F. 92 -30, 7080 Lake Drive, Leszinski, Conditional Use Permit/ Site Plan Review M. K. Wyland reviewed this request and explained that it is to allow an Automobile Service Use in a General Business District. The home on the site would be considered an existing non - conforming use. MOTION: Gelbman moved and was supported by Mesich to approve the request with the following conditions: 1. Signs be located in conformance with existing sign ordinance and proper permits obtained. 2. No exterior storage be allowed on the site, including vehicles being serviced. 3. A refuse area be provided and properly screened from the street right of way. 4. Proper building permits be obtained for any construction /remodeling. • All voted aye. Motion carried. • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD JULY 8, 1992 G. 92 -31 Park Grove, (Extension of Pine Ridge), Subdivision Al Brixius reviewed this request which is to allow platting of approximately 86 single family lots on 45 acres of land adjacent to Pine Ridge. The property has been reviewed in the past and was discussed at length when Pine Ridge was originally approved. The staff report indicated approval with several conditions. Park Board review included discussion of a useable park and possible modifications to the land being offered as park.
