LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING 3/6/84 PAGE 4 Dunn stated that there are other houses in the area that are less than 1.5 acres. There is an area across the street that, he feels, will be subdivided into 1.5 acre lots at some time. Does not see a problem with this variance, except with the soil conditions. If he supports the variance, it would be contingent on suitable soils for septic system on both lots. Morgan stated that he concurrs with both Fraser and Eder. He is concerned with the fact that it was platted, and a number of lots were sold, and now we are considering changing the complexion of the plat by dividing the lot. He does not feel strongly one way or the other. Mazzara stated that we would be changing lots that have been pre -platted, and sees the possibility of other people making the same request. M/S/P Fraser/Mazzara - To deny the application from Mr. Springborn for a simple lot subdivision and lot size variance at lot 9, block 2 of Green Acres Addition. (Motion carried 3-2 <Dunn and Eder>) B. 1984 Municipal State Aid (MSA) Improvements project for 45th Street, Julep Avenue and 47th Street from Jane Road North to Keats Avenue. Pursuant to published notice, this public hearing was opened at 8:10 p.m. in the council chambers. Larry Bohrer presented the 1984 proposed MSA improvements as outlined in his Feasibility Report of 2-21•••84. This presentation included - Special Conditions - Telephone Conduit - Right -of -Way - Feasibility - Summary of Costs and Proposed Assessments - Assessment formula - Preliminary Cost Estimate. (The assessments could range from $340 to $750 per lot.) Bohrer further described the proposed design for Julep Avenue down to 45th Street. Since the access for the four parcels in and around the Morris Addition and the Delmar Eder property access in the same area, his idea was to keep a portion of Julep Avenue as an existing right-of-way, and combine those four parcels into a single access, perpendicular to the curb on Julep and 45th. That is the safest location. A portion of the existing 45th Street right-of-way would not be required any longer and could be vacated; turned back to the property owners. James Blackford, 9765 45th Street North was concerned about the placement of mailboxes if they were forced to go straight north out of the driveway. They now have to be placed on the northwest side of the road. It'gets harder when they are put on a curve, if they are even allowed thre. Bohrer stated the mailboxes could be located on either side of the driveway as there would be room to turn around. Also, he would be willing to get together with the postmaster to try and work out something that is both safe from a traffic standpoint and from a convenience standpoint.
