Normally <br />subdividers split their lot into two equal portions. The Planning <br />Commission felt the lot split as proposed was poorly planned even though <br />it met the minimum lot requirments. The final result was a 180' X 100' lot <br />less a 30 foot street easement and a 273.2' X 100' lot with a 10' utility <br />easement on its east border. This would allow a 70 to 80 foot front setback <br />and a 30 foot rear setback as required. <br />Mr. Bruflodt is not pleased with the new street going in and wants to retain <br />the maximum amount of his lot for himself. <br />MSP (Shelquist - Hodges) to approve the lot split as recommended by the <br />Planning Commission but deleting the requirement for a survey. <br />Mayor Johnson stated that he feels a procedure should be set up whereby <br />a person splitting his lot can get a commitment from the Planning Commission <br />indicating that it is acceptable to the Commission.

He stated that <br />a survey at the Planning Commission level should be required. <br />Councilman Pickar is not in favor of surveys, because of the additional <br />expense to the property owner. <br />Councilman Baumgartner stated if the person has a sketch plan and previous <br />approval by the building inspector, he favors a survey. <br />5 Ayes <br />
