June 28, 1976 Page 3 <br />Councilman Baumgartner asked about the existing 10 foot easement <br />and Ad. Achen replied that it is the north -south utility easement. <br />The Planning Commission choose to split it in the middle, which is <br />236.5. <br />Mr. Sjodin stated that the request is to split it as the Planning <br />Commission recommended, 236.5. They have wanted equal lot splits <br />so the surveyor has laid it out that way. <br />Councilman Pickar stated that the Planning Commission in the past <br />has ruled that wherever possible they would like an even lot split. <br />He is in favor of granting it as requested. <br />Councilman Shelquist stated that he does not see that the 246 feet <br />lines up with any existing lot line so staying with the policy of <br />even lot splits is correct and he is in favor of granting it that way. <br />Councilman Hodges stated that he likes to see us go along with equal <br />lot splits as much as possible, but lining up the easements would be <br />quite important and he feels that the easement is the most important <br />thing. <br />Mayor Johnson stated that staff has been directed to, in all cases, <br />have equal lot splits and we should re- enforce that at this point.

Achen replied that the owner <br />of the east lot at that time could insist on payment for access to <br />the west lot. Councilman Hodges stated that we have to think of future <br />development. <br />5 ayes <br />GREENWOOD TERRACE AND CHARLES HERMAN ADDITION PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />Mayor Johnson recessed the regular meeting and called to order the <br />public hearing on the proposed Charles Herman Addition and at the request <br />of the attorney representing the Greenwood Terrace property and Charles <br />Herman we will accommodate them. <br />James Anderson, attorney, stated that Mrs. Nelson's lot was scheduled <br />for 8:10 and Mr. Herman's was scheduled for 8:20. The issues are <br />identical and for purposes of discussion they should be handled jointly. <br />Continuing, he stated that Mrs. Nelson and Mr. Herman filed a request <br />specifying a dividing line of 195 feet east of the right of way on <br />Greenwood Drive. This would create parcels of property 100 x 105 feet. <br />There is a section of land immediately to the north of Mr. Hermaf.s <br />property, that represents a subdivision request granted by the Planning <br />
