Lot 2, Pabst Lake Jane 2nd Division
Mr. Eastep would like to sell the above mentioned lot and
was told by the village it was a questionable lot.
Mr. Mueller explained the problems relating to the lot, such
as the sharp drop-off from the road to the lake, placement
of the septic system on the lot, etc. Mr. Mueller suggested
Mr. Eastep come in and talk with him on what will be
required before it is classified as a buildable lot.
Doris Buberl: 5615 Keats Avenue N., Lake Elmo Gerald Miller also present
Mrs. Buberl wants to divide 12.5 acres into three parcels.
Lot A 660'x 230' - 3.48 acres
Lot B 660'x 295' - 4.47 acres
Lot C 660'x 300' - 4.54 acres
The property is presently zoned agriculture with a five acre
minimum, therefore a variance is needed.
Lot A would be given to her son -Richard, who •owns Buberl
Landscaping.
Beside the varianoe 300 feet of road frontage is required.
Also, the property would have to be platted if the variance
is approved. Grace advised that a variance would normally
be granted only based on characteristics of the land.
Mrs. Buberl will either apply for a variance or divide the
12.5 acres into two parcels five acres or larger.
John Mueller: Mr. Mueller discussed the various aspects of building
houses on lake lots.
DeMontreville highlands: Grace read a letter from the Valley Branch
Watershed to the City stating that the DeMontreville I3ighland
developers have asked that the engineer review for VBWS➢ be
delayed because the developer can't afford to pay for it.
There has never been approval of the plat by the VBWSD.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 13, 1976
DeMontreville Highlands (continued): Motion by Johnson. Whereas the
VBWSD has notified the City in. a letter dated 9-7-76,
(Rosas to Mehsikomer), that the district is unable to
review the final plat of DeMontreville Highlands because
the developer has asked, the district "to refrain from any
further review of this plat due to the cost of the review".
And whereas the PZO specifically recommended to the City
Council that VBWSD review was essential, to assure that the
plat met surface water drainage requirements; the PZC
therefore recommends that the City Council advise the
developer that VBWSD review is required. and that no building
permits can be issued without VBWSD approval.
Seconded by Novak. Motion carried 6-0. Crombie absent.
Adjournment: 9:17 pm
Respectfully submitted,
Brian Crombie, Secretary
