LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 7, 1989 PAGE. 6 City Engineer Larry Bohrer stated he has researched the type of easement the public has over the traveled road known as Kimrbo Avenue and reviewed the drawings prepared by the surveyor which indicates that Mr. Sullwold's propertyline in relation to the traveled gravel surface and where the fences are pesently located, it was his engineering opinion that Mr. Sull.wold does have frontage on a public street. Councilman Williams, because of his concern on subdividing in the future, suggested an easement be granted to gain access to the property to the north, rather than the small strip shown on the survey. Mr. Sullwold's daugther responded that her father farms both sides and would not have direct access to north property. The future planning of the property will be to divide the land between the children. The City Attonrey added, if the lot were squared off, the north part would become a legal parcel and have less than the 40 acre minimum for a lot in the Ag zoning classification.

Peterson & Assoc. presented the preliminary plat for Kenridge Heights. Changes were made based on recommendations from the Planning Commission at their February 27th meeting. The road was changed to include an "S" type shape to the street. The plat does meet the minimum of the l 1/2 acre lot size and the area to the South will be platted as an Outlot. A schematic was provided showing how this Outlot, if rezoned to R1, would fit in and adapt to this area. He further explained that all lots meet the 1 acre requirement with the exception of Block 3, Lots 1 and 2, for septic systems. These two lots will meet the requirement once they place fill that is needed to bring those lots to an elevation that is acceptable for drainage. The have added a drainage swail to prevent drainage getting into the backyards and affecting the septic systems. They have a request in for a VBWD permit and have talked to Karen Chandler, Barr Eng., who indicated everything looked fine. Councilman Williams asked if the plat calls for a 24' wide to the road, and our ordinance calls for a 32' wide road, the preliminary plat have we in fact granted a variance. paved surface if we approve
