Mounds View Planning Commission July 1 , 1987 <br /> Regular Meeting Page Two <br /> •Clerk/Administrator Pauley arrived at 7: 40 PM. 6. Consideration of <br /> Staff Memo <br /> Robert O 'Connell, 3101 Silver Lake Road, stated his Regarding Minor <br /> sister owns the adjoining property to 5051 Long Lake Subdivision, 5051 <br /> Road, and he was there to represent her and express Long Lake Road, <br /> their concern with the minor subdivision Mr. Mounds View <br /> Blanski is proposing. Planning Case <br /> No. 216-87 <br /> Chairman Mountin explained Staff _has reviewed the <br /> request and found it to be consistant with City <br /> code. <br /> Gerald Blanski, the applicant, stated he has found <br /> a buyer for the existing home and he would like to <br /> subdivide the property at this time. He added he <br /> will put in sewer and water services and he has made <br /> arrangementsfor the easement. <br /> Mr. O'Connell stated the second lot,_ if the subdivision <br /> is approved, would be 112 ' wide, and others in the area <br /> are 75 ' wide, and his sister would then be left with 43 ' <br /> of property, which she would not be able to develop. <br /> He added they would prefer that Mr. Blanski make his <br /> lot smaller so that his sister could obtain enough <br /> property to make another lot out of her property. <br /> •Mr. Blanski stated he was contacted by -the O 'Connells <br /> but they could not reach an agreement on the purchase <br /> price of the property. He added he does not want to <br /> make a smaller lot, and would like to stay with the <br /> 112 ' . <br /> Chairman Mountin stated that while the Planning <br /> Commission is very interested in the character of the <br /> area, Mr. Blanski is within his rights to develop the <br /> property as he has proposed. <br /> Mr. Blanski stated his grandmother was the original <br /> owner of the property, and when the property was <br /> divided at one time, a small parcel was left, which <br /> is what Mr. O'Connell' s sister bought, for delinquent <br /> taxes . <br /> It was the concensus of the Planning Commission that <br /> it is not their place to interfere in_a private property <br /> sale, and the request of Mr. Blanski is reasonable, <br /> and while it is unfortunate that 43of property will <br /> be left that will be unbuildable, what Mr. Blanski <br /> has asked for is within code. It was agreed to hold <br /> discussion over until the next agenda session, to <br /> allow time to perhaps find another agreeable solution, <br /> •and to call to order at that time to take action. <br />
