PLAT - M & T INVESTMENT COMPANY Charles Bartholdi appeared before the Board representing M & T Investment Company. Mr. Marcel LeRoux was also present. Mr. Bartholdi said Mr. LeRoux would like to plat approx- imately 20 acres just south of 64th Street. The present zoning is agriculture. He is proposing a total of 13 lots, minimum size being 1 acre. The original plan was to plat four lots rather than 13 but decided on 13 to have enough money in the area to complete the roads. However, if the Planning Commission would go along with the four one acre lots this would be preferable. The reason he is here tonight is to see if this is a feasible plan in this area and get some feed back from the Planning Commission to see if the project will fly. Mr. Doocy asked where the Jankus property lies? is now owned by Ellison. Mr. Prokop said he had nights ago to become familar with this property. now being excavated.

Mr. • Planning and Zoning Board October 21, 1981 Page -2- Prokop noted Ordinance #78 regarding the moratorum on platting. There was discussion about a road connecting 64th Street to Rolling Hills Drive through the proposed plat. Mr. Prokop pointed out this would have too many curves and bends to make it a practical emergency route between the freeway frontage road and Bald Eagle Boulevard. There could be problems with young people in this area. Mr. Doocy noted the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designates this area as Rural, one house per ten acres.and felt the Comprehensive Plan should be followed. Mr. Johnson suggested taking two lots of one acre and leaving the balance for future development. Mr. Prokop said drainage was a concern and would have to be addressed. He further indicated the road access should be revised. Mr. Schumasher asked what would happen if he platted two lots and sold off the balance of the property to a totally different person and that person comes in and wants to divide this balance? We can tell him the two lots density has already been used up but he would prob- ably take the City to court. This will be an administrative problem. PRELIMINIARY PLAT - ULMERS RICE LAKE ADDITION #4 Mr. Shumacher said that at the time Mr. Ulmer started this proposal the City was in the process of preparing for sewers along Lake Drive. the sewer situation has not been re- solved and Mr. Ulmer said he would wait for the resolution..

Motion carr- "D ied unanimously. REZONE - MARLIN HANSEN Mr. Hansen is requesting a rezone to R2 to change his single family home into a duplex at 6460 Otter Lake Road. Mr. Hansen said he had considered when he originally built the home it could someday be used for two families although it was built as a single family home. He now would like to rent out a portion of the home. Mr. Schumacher indicated that this request would be a spot rezone which is not consistant with previous Council action. This would be setting a precedence. Also there is the sit- uation of double septic system on a lake lot and further the ordinance requires a separate access. Mr. Schumacher noted that all R2 zoning passed in the past two years has been for buffer purposes. There had been no spot zoning for R2. Mr. Prokop moved to recommend denial of the rezone request since the request represents spot zoning. Mr. Johnson seconded the motion.
