Charles Mechtel, 5533 St. Michael Street stated that his property adjoins to the
proposed development and expressed concern that the houses would be facing different
directions and not be in conformity, and asked how much the grading would be changed.
Mr. Eigenheer replied that it would be 4 to 1, or somewhat less. He added that they
will be trying to save the trees.
Mr. Mechtel stated that Dailey Homes had done a very poor grading job and that he did
not want to see it happen again.
Councilmember Baumgartner asked if they had received permission from the St. Paul
Water Works to put the driveway on Lot 10 over their system. Mr. Olson replied
that they had.
Councilmember Baumgartnerstated if Lot 3 was brought up to code, he was still concerned
with the variance for the road, since a 60° road was required and only a 50' road
planned.
Councilmember Rowley stated that she had a problem with the variances and even if
they were eliminated, there were several drainage problems that would have to be
taken care of.
Councilmember Ziebarth stated he agreed with the problems mentioned. Councilmember
Hodges stated that he also agreed.
Mrs. Kurl of St. Michael Street asked if the property was going to be rezoned and
expressed concern with adding more rental property. Mayor Pickar replied that the
land had not been rezoned yet. Mr. Eigenheer added that only five lots would be
rezoned, and that those lots were on County Road I, with apartments and a store
across from them.
Gien Westerheim, 2286 Bronson stated that at one time there was an alley between
Lambert and Bronson, which now seems to be lost, and asked the Council to make sure
that it didn't happen again.
Kathy Roth, 5108 Sunnyside stated she would like to see the City solve the existing
water problems before they approve developments and cause more problems.
Mr. McCarty asked who the cost of the improvements would go to if the road is put
through to the east. Attorney Meyers replied that it would be assessed to the
benefitted properties.
