April 25, 1977 Page 4 ITEM C on the consent agenda concerned approval of a minor subdivision request of Peter Stasz, as recommended by the Planning Commission, to create two lots from existing property located at 8044 Greenwood Drive. The north lot is to be 80 feet wide by 231 feet deep and the south lot 85 feet wide by 231 feet deep. Councilmember Baumgartner stated that he withdrew Item C from the consent agenda as he felt that Mr. Stasz was not comfortable with the lot division as approved by the Planning Commission. Mr. Stasz stated that he was comfortable with the lot division. The concern he had expressed at the Planning Commission meeting had been that he might end up being over the lot line, but he now feels that if it is approved as stated above, he will be well within the required setbacks. The house he intends to build on the property is 70 feet wide. MSP (Baumgartner- Hodges) to approve, as recommended by Planning Commission (4/13/77 minutes), minor subdivision request of Peter Stasz to create two lots from existing property located at 8044 Greenwood Drive. The north lot shall be 80 feet wide by 231 feet deep and the south lot 85 feet wide by 231 feet deep. 5 ayes PUBLIC HEARING ON RELOCATION OF TWO BEDROOM RAMBLER DIRECTLY SOUTH OF 7288 SILVER LAKE ROAD John Mezzenga of 1461 Mississippi has requested permission from the City Council to relocate a single family dwelling from its present location at 3515 Highway 61 in White Bear Lake to the lot south of 7288 Silver Lake Road. The house is a two bedroom rambler, 26 feet wide by 44 feet long and was built in 1964. The house has been inspected and there are no major code deficien- cies. The staff recommends approval of the house relocation and recommends that the City require a minimum $1,000 deposit to insure all minimum code requirements are met. Mr. Mezzenga stated that the house is being relocated because the property it is presently located on is being developed. The lot he is requesting to put the home on, at 7288 Silver Lake Road, is 104 feet by 216 feet. Mr. Mezzenga has a petition with 20 signatures out of 26 which he attempted to get. Concern was expressed by a neighbor about a possible water problem if the ditch that runs behind the property were closed. There had been a problem two years ago when the water came up in the yards along the ditch, and it was feared that the problem could occur again if the new resident closed the ditch on his property. Mr. Mezzenga stated that he had already taken three loads of debris out of the ditch and that he planned to keep it open. It had apparently been used as a dumping ground previous to his purchase of the property, thus causing water to back up during heavy rains.
