Councilman Baumgartner asked about the existing 10 foot easement
and Ad. Achen replied that it is the north -south utility easement.
The Planning Commission choose to split it in the middle, which is
236.5.
Mr. Sjodin stated that the request is to split it as the Planning
Commission recommended, 236.5. They have wanted equal lot splits
so the surveyor has laid it out that way.
Councilman Pickar stated that the Planning Commission in the past
has ruled that wherever possible they would like an even lot split.
He is in favor of granting it as requested.
Councilman Shelquist stated that he does not see that the 246 feet
lines up with any existing lot line so staying with the policy of
even lot splits is correct and he is in favor of granting it that way.
Councilman Hodges stated that he likes to see us go along with equal
lot splits as much as possible, but lining up the easements would be
quite important and he feels that the easement is the most important
thing.
Mayor Johnson stated that staff has been directed to, in all cases,
have equal lot splits and we should re- enforce that at this point. He
also will go with an equal lot split.

at 8315 Red Oake Drive, as recommended by the Planning Commission

easement on the east lot.
Mr. Sjodin inquired as to why the easement cannot go through any
prescribed portion of the lot and Ad. Achen replied that the owner
of the east lot at that time could insist on payment for access to
the west lot. Councilman Hodges stated that we have to think of future
development.
