Fl nning Commission Meeting September 22, 1976 Page 6 of 11 Anderson: Did you say that part of the property has poor drainage? Schwab: The soils map indicates a seasonal high water table. Anderson: There are several gravel pits near me and I put fence up ever since I've owned the property and there is good gravel on the land and we can have a cloud burst with 2" of rain and a half hour later there is no water anywhere. This property was staked off into an eight acre pr-.rcel a lona time before I got there. I have five hundred acres across from me and there are some pretty good sized farms out there and I think this parcel was set aside under a little different condition than the rest of the land. I don't want to re- model the house I have - I would like to build a new home on the property. There isn't enough land to farm - I have lived here six- teen years. Tom Brandinger: Can another house be put on the property if the rezoning is granted? Spitzer: Yes, based on the information we have now. We aren't aware of any perc tests being run on that property. Harold Hamilton Harold Hamilton, 1164 Buchanan Place, Columbia :ieights, Minn- esota, requesting rezoning from Agricultural to RA2 of the seventy acres described as follows: "E-st 2 of NE 4 Sec. 27, Tv,p. 27, Range 21, except the North 617 feet, Cneka Twp.' Rosenquist : I examined the site - his access is limited - there are severe building conditions. rale: There is a high water table - I see no reaGon at all to change the rezoning. Schwab: A large portion of the land has a poor pc�rc rate. Mike Gillen: There are several of the abuting property owners here and we all concur with that decision to leave it in the present zon- ing. I am a civil _ngineer for the State Highway Department; the character of the area is generally :agricultural with isolated homes along Homestead. My well is X46' deep, other neighbors have depths of 2401, 2801, 200' - the Vail development overages 180 - 200' for wells. There are many low areas to the east and wooded areas that should be undisturbed. Persons in this area are raising livestock and want to maintain the Agricultural zoning. Mr. Perrageat: I concur with what illan outlined. Vern Feloguin Vern reloquin, 15226 ^orest Boulevard, requesting rezoning from Conservancy to Agricultural for ?2 acres where his buildings are loc^ted, described as follows "That part of the two forties which lie 'gest of the RAilroad tracks in Section 17"
