Administrator Achen suggested building on the 155' lot, centering the home on
772' of the lot. Mr. Sjodin replied that it could be done but would not be
practical.
Councilmember Rowley read the statute which prohibits construction of a building
which would obstruct a future road going through. Attorney Meyers added that
a street plan would have to be adopted.
Councilmember Baumgartner reported that on April 26, 1978 the Planning Commission
recommended that the Council approve the minor subdivision request with the
stipulation that a covenant with the deed be filed which would restrict development
until the Knollwood extension was resolved, or a specific period of time, which
would prohibit development of Lot B.
Mr. Sjodin stated that he would agree to initiate action on the street improvements
if he received approval of his request for the minor subdivision.
Councilmember Baumgartner replied that he did not feel a hardship had been shown
and that he felt the cart was being put before the horse without knowing where the
road was going to be.
Councilmember Rowley reported that the Planning Commission would be addressing the
issue of 85' lots versus 75' lots at the June 14 meeting and that she would like to
know that status of that.
Councilmember Ziebarth stated that the Council was getting criticized for not getting
enough input and stated that he would like to know what the other residents not
present would like. He added that he would like to know the specific variances
Mr. Sjodin was speaking about that had been reportedly granted earlier. Councilmember
Ziebarth also stated that he had not seen the proof he would like for a hardship
and that he would also like to know safety statistics on the location of the road,
since he personally felt a jog in the road would be detrimental as it could promote
lawn running and so forth.
Mayor Pickar stated that the hearing had been continued previously with the specific
request that a survey be done, yet Mr. Sjodin was saying he would not do such a survey
until the subdivision was approved. Mr. Sjodin replied that the location of the road
did not resolve the question of the variance for two 772' lots and that he did not
want to go to all the trouble of a survey if the request was not going to be approved
after all.
MSP (Rowley- Baumgartner) to table the issue. 4 ayes
Councilmember Rowley clarified that the issue would be tabled until either a
petition was presented or a recommendation received from Staff on an ordinance
revision.
SMITH TRANSFER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Administrator Achen reported that Smith Transfer has requested a building permit
to extend their loading dock.
Farrell Johnson, representative for Smith Transfer, stated that they would like to
put on an 80' addition to the dock section of the terminal. He added that the area
is presently an asphalt surface.
