PUBLIC HEARING: (1) Variance -Lot Size and Road Frontage Mildred Meier, Lanes DeMontreville Mayor Dunn opened up the public hearing at 8:1.0 p.m. in the City Council chambers. Mildred Meier is inquiring as to the buildability of a vacant parcel (Lots 132-140, 159-167) she owns in Lanes DeMontreville Country Club Addition. The Zoning Code and Shoreland regulations apply. Larry Bohrer presented his review which stated at least two variances (lot size and frontage) would be required. Bohrer further stated it is not known if more variances would be required because contour map, building site plan, and soil borings have not been submitted. The problem of suitable access to this lot was discussed because there is over 400 ft. of unimproved right-of-way between this lot and the nearest improved road (50th Street). Molly Shodeen, DNR, addressed her review of the variance requests and shorel.and permit proposal for the Meier property in her letter dated May 18, 1989. Mike Severin, 8012 50th St., stated when the City took the land from him, he was told it wouldn't perk out and it was not buildable. The pipes to remove his sewage is in this right-of-way. The access road would run 2.0 ft. from his front window. Mrs. Arndt, 7931. Hill Trail N., voiced her concern on water problems.

Dave Furseth, 8004 50th St., stated he has a tremendous water problem and the mound site that was just installed increased his water problem. i R. Harvey, lives north of Meiers, stated he was told it was landlocked and had no access when he bought his property. The surveyor found no easement on his property.
