-2- Attorney James Anderaon repreoented aarnet P~elson in thin maYter. She is seoking a ma~or sub9lvlsion at 8310 Lonp, Lake Road. The paroel !~ is 5z8.28 x 405• The eubdivision requesL• Sa to divide the property with a line rcnning north snd south oo that there ia a larg~ lot, and divi~ion of the baok loto into 4 aep~rate paroels. The parcola are bound by Long Lake Rd and Oreenwood Drive, and the figures now requested are 195 feet from the end of the ripht of way. All ut111tiea exoept aewer are in the property. Mr. Anderaon's etatemen*: it ie easy to talk about moving a barn ~id moving good Ao11, but it is not very feaeibl~ to do that. 81nce he was not present in July aoncerning dividlnR lota even~y~, he asked if, aeide from oymmetry, ie an~~thing else aecompliahed with equal lot eplite. Yuwr ~oncerns are met reqardlesa of whether the dtvision is made at 235 or at 195• The r~ason L•hat they aro met 4.a that the three largest parcele of land are all seekinp to hava land divided in the same~ fanh±on. (refetming to Charles }fe2~mann also). If the three l~rgeet lots all have 195, he fea~is it is reasonable to assume you will not have to wor.ry about the symmeL•ry. Purther, all the u~ilitlea are in except the atorm ~ewer. Mrs. Haake had mentioned the poaeibility ttiat the sewer etudy may indicate that ih ahould run narth and south, As far ao Mra. Nelson and rtr. Hermann nre concerned, the village can maintain draina~5e easement rights at 235• A~: the moment of its acceptance the easement is dedioated. They would be happy to give the v111age that easement. Mrs. Nelson anC Mr. Hermann are ve.ry reluatant to pnrt with that particular piece of property, and there seem to be ;-~~ no compelling public policles that would draw any disbinetions between ; 235 feet and 195 feeY, as they ha.ve requested. Nanay Burmeiater arrived at 8:1Q pm. Mr. Anderson ecntinued: the thinga that Mra. Nelson a,^e ~oiloeim2d about ia ownerahip o° the land and where it is subdivided.. The drainage ditch can be put in, etc.; the approval of the pl~t would aESUre the village~s right. Steve Rooe, Building Inspector, stated that we az~e speaking of a aurfaae dz•aine.Re diLnh in a line. At preaent, if we allovr this p.lat to be recorded, the surface drainaqe ditch now will hsve to be removed to make Lota 3& 4 build~.ble. Mr. Anderson stated thet the drainage ditch through her garden ia acceptable to Mrs. Nelson. Ms. Haake stated that there is a possibility that a road could g~ down the center. in the future. If the lots are 195 you will put the onus nn the peo~le that have 2~10 Yoot lots. Mr. Anderson stated that riPht now they w~uld be willing to take that risk. At some point this Commisaion for the. C1ty of Mounds View has to balance future concerns and best inte7~eete. hiy clienta have livad on this land for 90 years. What he ie suggesting ie thaC you have no inclination for .s ruad within the next 2C or 30 years, and under those facts and circumatancea a balance test might be more appropriate. Ms. Haake replied that wa ara a Planning Commission and we do not ~~J want tu opera*.e on hindslght.
