At 8:25 p.m. Mayor Pickar recessed the regular council meeting and called
to order the public hearing on Lida Ei Hummel's 1st Addition preliminary plat.
Mr. Lida was present for discussion and presented the Council with the pre-
liminary plat of Lida & Hummel's 1st Addition. Administrator Achen stated
that the applicants were Jack and Kenneth Krugen and informed the Council
that the Planning Commission recommends council approval of the preliminary
plat, that the existing garage be removed, subject to a seven foot utility
easement on Lots 1 and 2, and approval of a variance on the rear yard setback
of 12 feet on Lot 8. This property is located along County Rd. J.
Councilman Shelquist asked if the garage had been removed from Lot 7 yet.
Mr. Lida stated that this will be done.
Councilman Baumgartner asked if easements between Lots 1 and 2 were needed.
Engineer Hubbard stated that the Planning Commission has asked for easements
through the rear yards of Lots 1 and 2. Administrator Achen explained that
the west line of the lot abuts Knollwood and the east line of the lot abuts
Groveland. Councilman Baumgartner stated that a north -south easement would be
more beneficial than an east -west one. Mr. Lida stated that he would have no
objection to this. Councilman Baumgartner suggested that the easement line
be extended north to County Rd. J and move the easement between Groveland
and Knollwood on the south boundary of Lots 1 and 2. Administrator Achen
stated that he did not see any problems with this. Mr. Lida questioned the
distance the house would have to be from County Rd. J with this easement.
Discussion. Councilman Shelquist stated that the setback is measured from
the property line regardless of the easement. Administrator Achen stated
that this would be 40 feet. Councilman Shelquist explained that you can make
use of the easement land, but the city and utilities could come through
to make repairs without restoring damage done.
Councilman Hodges stated that he did not see any problems in going along
with the Planning Commission's recommendation.
Councilmember Rowley stated that the easement should be all the way up to
County Rd. J.
Mayor Pickar asked when the garage would be removed. Mr. Lida stated that
the property line does not separate the garage. Mayor Pickar stated that
this was true but the Planning Commission did recommend its removal. Council-
man Shelquist stated that the council usually puts a condition on that
something of this nature be done prior to the final approval. Administrator
Achen stated that the garage was in violation of the lot requirements.
Councilman Baumgartner asked if there was any discussion of granting a variance
for the garage. Mr. Lida stated that they intend to tear it down and build
a new one.
