GALE ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
Administrator Achen reported that Mr. Gale had originally come before the Planning
Commission on December 14, 1977 and requested to subdivide two lots fronting on
Ardan Avenue and Groveland Road into four lots. The request was approved by the
Council on February 27, 1978, without a 30° easement. Mr. Gale then came back to
the Planning Commission on June 14 and requested five buildable lots along Ardan
Avenue, which the Planning Commission recommended approval on, creating six lots,
with the provision that the recording and development of the plat be postponed until
the Ardan Avenue drainage system is relieved. The request is now before the Council
again for approval.

on easements that had taken place at the February 27 meeting had not been included
in the minutes.

he is afraid that whatever recommendations or conclusions SEH comes up with, the
Task Force will not accept it.

he felt the City was digging itself into a hole.
Mr. Westerheim requested that all further development approval be postponed until a
