DAILEY KNOLLS PRELIMINARY PLAT
Howard Thorson introduced himself as the representative of Dailey Knolls and stated
that they were requesting to subdivide the east one - halves of lots 8 and 9, Spring
Lake Park Knolls Addition, into three equal 88' frontage lots fronting on Silver Lake
Road.
Engineer Hubbard pointed out that the services were not in yet on Silver Lake Road
but they had been petitioned for.
• Administrator Achen pointed out that the land will be developed eventually and ser-
vices would be requested, and they would be extremely long ones if they came out to
Groveland.
Attorney Meyers pointed out that a public hearing had not been held yet to determine
what the people in the area really wanted.
George Payne, 2740 Laport Drive stated that he had put earnest money down on the
property at County Road I and Silver Lake Road and would be requesting services soon.
Attorney Meyers pointed out that 35 percent or more of the property owners would have
to petition for services before a public hearing would be held.
Mr. Thorson stated that he would find out who the rest of the property owners were
in the area and would contact them regarding a petition.
Mayor Pickar pointed out that in the past it has been the City's policy to deny lots
of substandard size, even though the lots in question had the necessary square footage
requirements.
Councilmember Ziebarth pointed out that lot number 4 was noted-as 36,712 square feet
while it actually should have been 26,712.
Administrator Achen recommended that if the Council approve the variance for the
frontage requirement that it not allow a variance for the sideyard setback.
Mr. Thorson stated that he could possibly acquire additional land from the adjacent
property owner to cut down on his 12' frontage shortage.
Mayor Pickar questioned if the whole matter would have to go back to the Planning
Commission if Mr. Thorson did acquire additional frontage. Attorney Meyers replied
that the other property owner would have to get approval tosplit off his property.
Administrator Achen stated that it could be handled as a consolidated effort and
costs could be minimized. He also recommended that the Council either table the
matter and allow the applicant and anyone else interested the opportunity to
discuss the issue as far as putting services down Silver Lake Road, or just set a
hearing and invite everyone in to discuss it.
MSP (Pickar - Rowley) to table any action and set an informational meeting for 9:00 PM
on February 13, 1978 and direct the City Administrator to notify the property
owners of the hearing. 4 ayes
Mayor Pickar closed the public hearing and reopened the general meeting.
