Planning Commission Meeting Minutes September 18, 2001 Page 2 0 1 Chair Melsha indicated that Vice Chair Stille was available to attend the next City Council 2 meeting on October 9, 2001. 3 VIII. PUBLIC HEARINGS. 4 8.1 Request for Lot Split: Wirth Companies, Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition. 5 Susan Henry stated that Wirth Companies was requesting a lot split. She added that it was the 6 same lot split that was approved by the City Council back on June 23, 1998, but the applicant 7 did not follow-up with a final plat. Ms. Henry indicated that a dispute arose between the two 8 property owners which was why the split was never completed. 9 Ms. Henry stated that the request was to subdivide and replat Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition, 10 which is a vacant lot to the southwest of the Apache Medical Building. She indicated that the 11 current property-owner was in agreement with the request. 12 Ms. Henry stated that the applicant's request would bring Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition into 13 compliance with Chapter 15, Subd. 4 (1), of the City's Ordinance, which states that all lots 14 must abut their full frontage on a public street. She continued that the replatting of the vacant lot 15 creates a lot that meets the minimum lot size requirement under the same chapter. Ms. Henry stated that Legal Counsel reviewed that plat in 1998. She indicated that there have 17 been no changes since then, but that the item to note was the easement. Prior to the 18 development of the lot, a final plat will have to be approved and evidence of title will need to be 19 provided. 20 Ms. Henry also referred to the moratorium that is on the City's Northwest Quadrant until 21 October 4, 2001, which was approved by the City Council last fall. She added that staff 22 recommendation was to approve the preliminary plat and bring it to the October 9, 2001 City 23 Council meeting, at which time the moratorium will have expired. 24 David Lutz, representative of Wirth Companies, came forward and reviewed the details that 25 Ms. Henry covered. 26 Chair Melsha asked if there was any other land that would be affected by the lot split. Mr. Lutz 27 indicated that there was no other land that would be impacted by the requested lot split. 28 Commissioner Thomas asked what plans were in place for the lot. Mr. Lutz stated that nothing 29 was in the works at this time, but that some type of future development would take place. 30 Chair Melsha closed the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. 4R1 Commissioner Tillman asked if they needed to recommend approval contingent on the 32 moratorium being lifted. Chair Melsha agreed on the continency.
