Also, Administrator Whittaker. Administrator Whittaker reviewed Mr. Beaubien's request. City Engineer Bohrer evaluated the request and determined that two 1 1/2 A lots can be created with 125 ft. frontage. Any approval should require two drainfield sites, perc tests and soil borings for septic systems on each lot. AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Neighbors asked what property was being,!eonsidered. After reviewing the proposal they stated concerns about the 33 ft. easement shown on the map. They stated there was an easement to the north, providing access to the lake for several lots, originally. After.subdivision of the property in 1962 by Mr Percy, the easement was moved to the south side of the property. They want this easement to remain their public access. This could be accomplished if the roadway were deeded to the City for street purposes. The Administrator said the City should review their agreement or easement to make sure the property is deeded to the water; and the City should verify who owns the easement. Questions before the Planning Commission: 1. Do the lots have access on a public road? 2. Will the City accept this request for .a road that does not meet City standards? 3. Will Mr. Beaubien be able to meet the lot width requirement on a public street? The neighbors claim Mr. Beaubien only has an easement to the..south 3:3 ft. of the roadway past his home. The Council and Commission discussed similar "private roads" and their standards. The City requires improved streets; but has made exceptions when there are extenuating circumstances. Before making a recommendation the Planning Commission would like the City Council to clarify the City's policy. Vice Chairman Prince closed the hearing at 8:15 p.m. Crombie suggested the City adopt a policy that provides for a 20' blacktop mat to service areas not requiring a normal street. Armstrong wants the Engineer's opinion on a 24' road vs a 20' road.
