Councilman Shelquist's Report
Councilman Shelquist stated the Planning Commission wanted to bring
to Council's attention the statement of Mayor Hofstede to the Advisory
Committee regarding approval of comprehensive plans of counties and
municipalities.
Councilman Shelquist presented the subdivision request of Robert Bruflodt,
8346 Groveland Road, creating one 120' X 100' lot fronting on proposed
Knollwood and another lot 303' X 100' fronting on Groveland Road. Normally
subdividers split their lot into two equal portions. The Planning
Commission felt the lot split as proposed was poorly planned even though
it met the minimum lot requirments. The final result was a 180' X 100' lot
less a 30 foot street easement and a 273.2' X 100' lot with a 10' utility
easement on its east border. This would allow a 70 to 80 foot front setback
and a 30 foot rear setback as required.
Mr. Bruflodt is not pleased with the new street going in and wants to retain
the maximum amount of his lot for himself.
MSP (Shelquist - Hodges) to approve the lot split as recommended by the
Planning Commission but deleting the requirement for a survey.
Mayor Johnson stated that he feels a procedure should be set up whereby
a person splitting his lot can get a commitment from the Planning Commission
indicating that it is acceptable to the Commission. He favors requiring of
surveys.
Attorney Meyers said a survey is not required by State law, but most
communities with considerable development are requiring it. He stated that
a survey at the Planning Commission level should be required.
Councilman Pickar is not in favor of surveys, because of the additional
expense to the property owner.
Councilman Baumgartner stated if the person has a sketch plan and previous
approval by the building inspector, he favors a survey.
