September 13, 1976 Page 6 <br />Mr. John Wharton, 7462 Spring Lake Road, stated that when he subdivided <br />his lot five years ago, the Council had gone through a big deal about putting <br />roads in and he had to give the City an easement. Admin. Achen stated <br />that this is what the Council is going through tonight with this request. <br />Mrs. Carlen Brunes, 7430 Spring Lake Road, stated she only had a five foot <br />easement on her lot and she does not want the road either. <br />Mr. Howard Johnson, 7425 Pleasant View Drive, stated he did not object <br />to the split but was still opposed to the road. Jerry Fahrmann stated <br />he was also opposed to the road. <br />Derek Bernhagen, 7415 Pleasant View, stated he was opposed to the road <br />and wanted it to stay as it is. He stated that he is also speaking for <br />his neighbor, Steve Johnson, who could not attend. Marian Schmidt, <br />7447 Pleasant View, wants it to stay as it is. <br />Mr. Jordan stated that ten owners would be assessed if the road would go in. <br />Councilmember Hodges stated he knew it was about 50 years in the future <br />with the roads, but he realizes that at the present all of the people he <br />had talked to certainly don't want a road through there. Councilmember <br />Hodges stated he would say, since the people want big lots, he would go <br />along with the split presented tonight. <br />Councilmember Baumgartner stated he agreed. The City has to, at some time, <br />look out for the people here now instead of what would happen in 40 or 50 <br />years from now. With the layout, trees and people there now, we should not <br />take the easement and should approve the subdivision as requested. <br />Councilmember Rowley stated she agrees with the way it is presented. The <br />people have stated that they do not want the road. <br />Mayor Pickar stated that it is really good to get the input of the people <br />on a situation like this. Mayor Pickar likes the idea of people maintaining <br />their lot. He appreciated the comments of the people, and has no objection <br />to having the split as it is presented. <br />At 9:30 p.m. Mayor Pickar closed the public hearing on Bronson Oaks preliminary <br />plat and called to order the regular council meeting. <br />MS (Hodges- Baumgartner) to approve the preliminary plat of Peter A. Jordan <br />and Martha A. Jordan as presented here tonight. <br />Admin. Achen stated that one of the considerations of this proposal is an <br />accessory building which would be nonconforming or may be actually violating <br />the ordinance. Mr. Jordan pointed out the location of this building and <br />stated that it is just a garden shack and could be torn down if necessary. <br />It looks like it is about 15 feet from the property line, not 35 feet. <br />MSP ( Pickar- Rowley) to amend the motion to include the stipulation that <br />the storage shed be removed or moved to bring it into conformance with <br />the City code. Vote on amendment: <br />Vote on main motion as amended: <br />4 ayes <br />4 ayes <br />
