Mr. John Wharton, 7462 Spring Lake Road, stated that when he subdivided
his lot five years ago, the Council had gone through a big deal about putting
roads in and he had to give the City an easement. Admin. Achen stated
that this is what the Council is going through tonight with this request.
Mrs. Carlen Brunes, 7430 Spring Lake Road, stated she only had a five foot
easement on her lot and she does not want the road either.
Mr. Howard Johnson, 7425 Pleasant View Drive, stated he did not object
to the split but was still opposed to the road. Jerry Fahrmann stated
he was also opposed to the road.
Derek Bernhagen, 7415 Pleasant View, stated he was opposed to the road
and wanted it to stay as it is. He stated that he is also speaking for
his neighbor, Steve Johnson, who could not attend. Marian Schmidt,
7447 Pleasant View, wants it to stay as it is.
Mr. Jordan stated that ten owners would be assessed if the road would go in.
Councilmember Hodges stated he knew it was about 50 years in the future
with the roads, but he realizes that at the present all of the people he
had talked to certainly don't want a road through there. Councilmember
Hodges stated he would say, since the people want big lots, he would go
along with the split presented tonight.
Councilmember Baumgartner stated he agreed. The City has to, at some time,
look out for the people here now instead of what would happen in 40 or 50
years from now. With the layout, trees and people there now, we should not
take the easement and should approve the subdivision as requested.
Councilmember Rowley stated she agrees with the way it is presented. The
people have stated that they do not want the road.
Mayor Pickar stated that it is really good to get the input of the people
on a situation like this. Mayor Pickar likes the idea of people maintaining
their lot. He appreciated the comments of the people, and has no objection
to having the split as it is presented.
At 9:30 p.m. Mayor Pickar closed the public hearing on Bronson Oaks preliminary
plat and called to order the regular council meeting.
MS (Hodges- Baumgartner) to approve the preliminary plat of Peter A. Jordan
and Martha A. Jordan as presented here tonight.
Admin. Achen stated that one of the considerations of this proposal is an
accessory building which would be nonconforming or may be actually violating
the ordinance. Mr. Jordan pointed out the location of this building and
stated that it is just a garden shack and could be torn down if necessary.
It looks like it is about 15 feet from the property line, not 35 feet.
MSP ( Pickar- Rowley) to amend the motion to include the stipulation that
the storage shed be removed or moved to bring it into conformance with
the City code. Vote on amendment:
