LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 2, 1990 PAGE 8 record can be found in the files. It appears that whenever the split was made, provision was made not to landlock the property. Based on today's rules, a lot in the RR zoning district requires 300 feet of frontage on a private road. Since this lot has alreay been subdivided, the variance procedure would be found under Section 301.060 C. of the 1979 Municipal Code. Gabriel Madinich, 11240 50th St. N., had no problem with this request, but requested the driveway be placed as far away from the lot line as possible.

That the Council further stipulates the driveway to Parcel B must be located in the eastern most 33 feet of easement. B. Final Plat - Packard Park 3rd Addition The Planning Commission, at its December 11, 1.989 meeting voted 6-2 to deny the Final Plat of Packard Park 3rd Addition. City Engineer, Larry Bohrer; provided his opinion in his letter dated December 6, 1989 on the question regarding whether Lot 1, Block 1, Packard Park 3rd Addn. meets the drainfield area requirements. When City Engineer, Larry Bohrer, was asked by Councilman Williams if Lot 1 Block 1, has one acre above the drainage easement, Bohrer answered "yes, it does". David Bucheck pointed out their continuing concern on the water situation in the area and asked the Council for consideration of some performance standards to state that the pond will be built to make up for the first pond which is not perculating. Since the pond is taken
