City Council Regular Meeting Minutes September 23, 2008 Page 3 1 Councilmember Roth verified with Commissioner Chaput that the Hayes residence currently has 2 access to the Lake through the casement. 4 Mayor Faust explained that the access would be available to individuals with casement rights 5 included in their deed. 7 Councilmember Roth commented that the proposed layout with the subdivision appears to be an 8 odd design for a lot. He inquired about possible issues with future property owners. 9 Commissioner Chaput stated there was discussion about natural elevations leading to the way the 10 property lines were drawn, as well as the discussion of Mr. Hayes desiring additional lakcfront 11 access that follows the existing easement. 12 13 Councilmember Stille stated lie feels comfortable that there was good representation at the 14 Planning Commission level. He pointed out that one of the Planning Commission members is a 15 planner that would have picked up on anything abnormal in the proposed lot subdivision. 16 17 Dr. Gary Good, 4024 Silver hake Terrace, stated that the IIayes' lot does not have much of a 18 back yard with the way the house was put on the lot. If there is concern that the lot appears odd 19 as proposed, it was more so with just the easement and a tiny strip going to the lake. This 20 subdivision will widen the Hayes' shoreline to 16 feet, rather thanjust 10. It will also correct a 21 problem caused when he was not sure of the boundary line and paved about 7 feet on Mr. Hayes' 22 property. 23 24 Mr. 'Hayes, 4020 Silver Lake Terrace, stated there has been plenty of speculation and rumors 25 about the easement. He spoke with the Ramsey County Assessor in 2002 who informed him that 26 the easement is deeded to he and his wife, and that two neighboring properties have access to the 27 easement. He does not believe it is a public easement, as it is deeded in he and his wife's names. 28 He pointed out that the casement is not part of this transaction. As far as the layout, it is 29 lakeshore and there are crazy designs with lakeshore property. 30 31 Motion by Councilmember Roth, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to adopt Resolution 08- 32 061; Approval of a Lot Subdivision of 3,062 square feet for 4024 Silver Lake Terrace. 33 34 Motion carried unanimously. 35 36 B.
