Mrs. Barbara Haake, Planning Commission Chairperson, said that Michna
indicated to the Planning Commission that only one person would be willing
to consider a road going through, everyone else wanted to keep their large
lots.
Councilman Baumgartner objected to a 30 foot easement on the south of the
property because it would make a substandard corner lot.
Mr. Michna retorted that variances have been granted in the past on this
same lot size.
Councilman Shelquist explained in other similar instances the Planning
Commission has denied potential lot splits where future roadways would be
closed. And further that this is not cause for variance because there is
no undo hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property.
Mayor Johnson said because the lots are already platted at 75' frontage, city
code would not prohibit building on them.
Motion (Johnson) to grant the lot split subject to two corner lots being
90 feet, interior lot 78 feet,a ten foot drainage easement on west lot
line, 30 foot easement on south lot line for potential street.
Motion died for lack of second.
Motion (Baumgartner) to approve lot split as presented with ten foot
easement on west lot line, lot sizes to be as indicated on surveyor's
certificate.
Motion died for lack of second.
MSP ( Shelquist- Johnson) to deny lot split on basis that to grant it as requested
would close off posibility of a future road and development of back remaining
lots and to grant it in any other way would require numerous variances not
only in lot size but in setbacks because it would create only a 68 foot build-
able space.

Mayor Johnson called the regular meeting back to order at 9:37 p.m.
Mr. Dave Kasell, representing Perkins Cake and Steak proposed site on Highway
10 north of the Mermaid Supper Club. Mr. Kasell said there are two entries
and exits on Highway 10, the dining room faces the highway with a 100 car
parking lot, family style dining, and a sit down restaurant open 24 hours.
They do not propose changing the existing lay of the land.
Mr. John McLennan, Rice Creek Watershed Engineer, explained the type of
drainage required by their organization. Water runoff will be forced through
two boards so placed to form what is called a baffled weir designed to slow
down the flow of water and catch cigarette butts and other debris and drift
of automobiles- -only water would pass through.
Mr. Warren Johnson voiced concern about getting any more water in the area.
He could not see another development started without first correcting the
situation caused by the shopping center.
Mr. Roger Johnson, 7767 Long Lake Road, said permits for additional buildings
or houses should not be granted until the water problem is taken care of.
