Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes • June 16, 1998 Page 2 1 Mr. Hanka has submitted copies of the documents to the City that indicate that the Wirth 2 Companies are current owners of record as the Wirth Companies or Stinson Boulevard Corp., a 3 subsidiary of the Wirth Companies. The City Attorney has been given the proposed plat map 4 and copies of the deeds for his review. 5 Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition is being subdivided and replatted to provide the Apache Medical 6 Building space for additional future parking needs and to combine the two vacant lots to increase 7 the square footage available for redevelopment of the newly replatted lot. An easement between. 8 the current lots that allows access to the Apache Medical building will continue to be maintained 9 - after the subdivision and replatting. 10 The combining of the two vacant lots will bring Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition into compliance 11 with Chapter 15, Subd. 4., (1), of the City's Ordinance, which states that all lots must abut by 12 their full frontage on a public street. The replatting of the vacant lots creates a lot that meets the 13 minimum lot size requirement under the same Chapter. 14 Commissioner Makowske asked if this would change the driveway which was previously 15 determined to give Apache Medical Building street frontage. Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that the City Attorney has determined that this driveway will still be considered an easement and provide frontage, and the Apache Medical Building still meets all 18 the City Code requirements. 19 Mr. Hanka, Wirth Companies, reported this application had been delayed one month due to an 20 impending sale of the Apache Medical Building. However, this sale did not occur. The purpose 21 of the request is to provide more area for Lot 2, Block 2, and make it more buildable under City 22 Codes. Mr. Hanka reported the easement is not an issue. It is rarely used but will remain in 23 place with the subdivision/replat. 24 Chair Bergstrom asked if this was a private easement which could be vacated. 25 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated this is correct. She noted however,that the Car Wash does depend on 26 this easement to access 39'Avenue. 27 Chair Bergstrom closed the public hearing at 7:11 P.M. 28 Motion by Chair Bergstrom, seconded by Commissioner Horst,to recommend approval of a 29 Subdivision/Replat of Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition owned by Wirth,Companies, as presented 30 in the documents provided in the Planning Commission's packet. 4 Motion carried unanimously. 33 B.
