The staff recommends approval according to the recommendations of the Planning Commission which included a 5 -foot utility easement. Anything that has to be deeded is required of the subdivider. MSP (Hodges - Pickar) to follow the recommendations of the Planning Commission and approve the minor subdivision of George Herda generally located at 8345 and 8335 Fairchild Ave. 4 ayes PROPOSED REVISION OF SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS ORDINANCE. The administrator stated that this was tabled at the last meeting. The Council has now received proposed revisions of the original draft, where in a minor subdivision a subdivider is now required to have a surveyor's certificate with all of the information that is on the preliminary plat. This change in the ordinance still allows the Council the option anytime it deems appropriate to acquire a subdivision to be platted. The staff feels that this would expedite the subdivision process in those not creating more than one additional lot or covering more than two acres. They attorney has recommended that variances to the ordinance be allowed. MSP (Baumgartner- Hodges) that we approve the subdivision regulations as presented with amendments in the memo from the administrator to the Council of May 4, 1976. Councilman Baumgartner stated that he felt that we should add some variance stipulation. Motion was amended to add a new subdivision to 42.15, that subdivision to read: Subdivision 2. Variance. The Council may grant a variance of these subdivision regulations in any particular case where the subdivider can show that by reason of exceptional topography or other physical conditions the strict compliance with these regu- lations could cause an exceptional and undue hardship on the enjoyment of a substantial property right, provided such relief may be granted without detriment to the public welfare and without impairing the intent and purpose of this Chapter. Subdivision 2 in the draft should be renumbered to Subdivision 3. In paragraph 1, the word "variance" should be added prior to the word "exception ". Paragraph 3 should be amended to include the word "variance ". Amendment carried - 4 ayes A vote on the main motion was requested. 4 ayes
