This parcel has had extensive review by the City and the current proposal has received approval from the RCWD and the Corp. of Engineers. Staff would recommend approval with the conditions outlined in the Staff Report of 9 -4 -92. Ted Mattke, Engineer for the project, explained that the wetland has been expanded from the previously presented plats in response to concerns from the Corp. of Engineers. Rick Gelbman asked why the staff was concerned about triangular lots and was advised by Mr. Brixius that lots perpendicular to the roadway are easier to maintain proper setback require- ments. Monika Slatten expressed concern about lots which do not meet the minimum requirements for the R -1X Zoning District. Rick Gelbman stated that there is a bind here in regard to what was approved for Pine Ridge (adjoining this 2 • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD SEPTEMBER 9, 1992 Plat) and what is now being required of Park Grove. Some of the rules and regulations have changed in the recent past. City Engineer Schneider stated that from an Engineering standpoint, we would favor more lots to bear the costs of utilities.

The P & Z indicated that the cul de sac arrangement seemed better suited to the property and encouraged Mr. Rehbein to present a preliminary plat for their review. Sewer and water services are available to serve this property. 3 • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD SEPTEMBER 9, 1992 C. Kathy Nordine questioned the City Code regarding fences around swimming pools. At this time if the pool has under a certain number of gallons, no fence is required. She suggested that we may want to consider a revision of this rule in the future. D. Mr. Landers suggested that the City may want to consider regulating /licensing realtors or agents who work within the City to try to prevent the misrepresentation that occurred in the Reshanau Lake area. Kathy Nordine stated that this could be a duplication of efforts as the state currently licenses realtors. Mr. Brixius also questioned how we would police such an ordinance. E.
