MAJOR SUBDIYISION REQUEST OF KEN SJODIN - 8100 GROVELFND ROAD - ..__....-- - . _ Official Rose rep~rted that Mr. S~odin was requesting to change hfs n~a,lor subd9vision request to a minor subdivision and drew a sketch of what he was requesting. Offleial Rose axpiained that Mr. SJodin was trying ta obtairt a buildabte ]ot fronting Groveland Road. He explained thc~ the City has, in the past, reviewed and had a feasibility study prepared for the extension af Kno7lwoad sout.h of Ardan Avenue. At that t1me, it seemed more feasible to connect in a westerly direction to Spring Lake Road. Since that time, the home io~ated at QTOQ Grovetand has been demolished, thus allowing the Knollwaod extenslon to connect to Grovelond Road and Sherwood Road. Atthough the proposed street easement and the existing Sherwood Road easement are not directly in line with each other, Sta.'f feels that an offsetting of the new street on its easement can compensate for the non-alignment. Official Rose explained that Mr. S,~odin is also interested in possible fu11 development af the property. In the,event that Knotiwood was extended south, he could grant easements and create buitdable 1ots. Officlal Rose added that the City 1s intepested in getting easements for the Knoilwood extension, and could deed one buildabl~ lot, which would become voided once the r~hoie plat becomes final. A1r. SJod7n expleined that he did not know Por s~re if the sxreet v~as gaing to 90 1n and that he had purchased the property with an ald house on it end had demoiished the Irouse wfth the idea of sp7ltting the lnt. However, the City now would prefer to put the roed through since the house had been demoiished. He explatned that he ~ would like ane minor subdivision at this time so he cou7d build one home. He edded ,~,.that ell the nssessments were in and paid on Graveland. He also added that he would sign a petikion for puttin~; Knollwood in and that• if the City did take a b0' easement, he wouid heve to dedicate the other lTy' to the other property owner. He added thet he would cocperate with the City in anY WB~, end painted out tf~at there were n iot oP
