MINUTES FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF 02-25-98 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Peltier at 7:15PM. PRESENT: Puleo, Schumann, Peltier ABSENT: Rubenzer, Kellison, Malaski, Harrison Schumann made motion, Peltier seconded, to approve the Planning Commission minutes for January 28, 1998, as submitted. All aye. Motion Carried. MINOR SUBDIVISION (STORM/CHALUPSKY) Mr. Grover Storm, 8047 132nd St. N., the property owner, and Mr. Lloyd Chalupsky, 8010 130th St., property buyer, have requested a minor subdivision to divide a 14.2 acre parcel into two lots, one of approximately 10 acres, the other, 4.08 acres. The property is zoned RR2. The RCWD has reviewed and approved the subdivision, and the septic field locations have been approved by the Washington County Department of Health and Land Management. The 4.08 acre lot is under the required minimum lot size of 5 acres in the RR2 zoning district, and the larger 10 acre parcel has approximately 170 ft of public road frontage, where 300 ft is required. The applicants have requested a variance to allow the smaller road frontage on the 10 acre parcel, and the smaller lot size for the 4.08 parcel. Chairperson Peltier opened the hearing for public comment. Mr. William Kujawa, 12930 Homestead Drive, presented the Planning Commission with a petition, signed by 19 residents living along Homestead Drive, Henna Avenue, and 132nd Street, requesting that the subdivision be denied since both lots do not have the required the 300' of road frontage. Mr. Allen Schmidt, 7701 132nd Street, objected to the variances for road frontage and substandard lot size. Mr. Doug Meslow, attorney for Grover Storm, stated that Mr. Storm owns the property, and is selling the property to Mr. Chalupsky on a contract for deed, and the Mr. Storm had no objection to the two -lot subdivision of the property. Following further discussion regarding the potential location of the driveway on the site, and the potential for further subdivision of the 10 acre site into two lots, the following motion was made: Schumann made motion, to recommend approval of a two -lot subdivision of the parcel subject to the 4.08 acre parcel being expanded to meet the minimum 5 acre lot requirement for the property's zoning classification, and to rearrange the frontage between the two parcels so that the smaller 5 acre parcel would have approximately 300' of road frontage, and the large 9 acre parcel would have approximately 250' of frontage. All aye. Motion Carried.
