-6- • 1 said the City would not be able to determine. just 2 how much earth would have to . be taken off the 3 proposed lot without a survey and grading and 4 drainage plans being submitted by the owner.; 5 6 indicated Mr. Evanson was in the process of' pre- 7 paring all of the above and since they were not 8 available that night, no decisions about drain- . 9 age could be made that night; 10 11 reported the City would also be requiring five 12 foot drainage and utility easements on the front/. 13 sides of each of the four lots; 14 15 had provided copies of the April 17th letter from 16 John Forsberg of 3512 Belden Drive, whose 17 property abuts one of the undeveloped lots on the 18 north which gave the history of his arrangements 19 with the City related to the future development 20 of the Evanson property. His letter also told of 21 the litigation he and Dr. Osterbauer, his next 22 door neighbor, had been involved in with Mr. 23 Evanson' s parents who protested the grading the 24 City had required; 25 26 said both property owners were present that • 27 evening to assure that adjacent lots are cut 28 down to a level which at least would allow drain- 29 age to be properly controlled so there would be 30 no negative impact on their property following 31 construction of the four new homes. 32 33 Mr. Childs advised that it would be difficult to guarantee that no 34 negative impact would result if the homes were allowed to be built 35 on an individual basis with separate ownership and time schedules 36 for construction. The City Manager concluded his report by saying 37 he had received no other communications for or against the 38 proposal. He said the platting process would probably have to be 39 followed but he perceived it would be beneficial to hear the 40 concerns of those who were present so Mr. Evanson could take them E 41 into account when the platting was done. Mr. Childs advised the 42 Commission to give Mr. Evanson enough guidance that he could come 43 in with a final plat which would include drainage plans which 44 addressed the concerns of all concerned. 45 46 Testimony was taken from the following: 47 48 The applicant, David G. Evanson, 2208 - 73rd Avenue N. , Brooklyn 49 Park: 50 51 -had told Mr. Childs the person who had been granted a vari- • 52 ance to build a nonconforming home above Mr. Forsberg had been 53 unable to buy the property after all and the home being 54 considered for that lot now would require no variance; 55
