Minutes - November 16, 1%4- MINOR 994 MINOR SUBDIVISION/VARIANCE - DANNER Mr. William Culp, 14707 Irish Ave. No., has requested to subdivide a 20 acre parcel in Section 23, T31N, R21W, into two, ten acre parcels. The frontage of this property on Irish Ave. will not allow two lots with the 300' road frontage required by city ordinance. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow 276.76' of public road frontage for each parcel' Perc tests have been performed on each site and applications submitted to Washington County for determination of adequate septic sites, though no approval has been received by the City. The lot split has been approved by the Rice Creek Watershed District. Ms. Val Davis, attorney for the applicant was present to address any questions. She stated the reason for the subdivision at this time is strictly a refinancing issue. It was also determined that the garage located on oarceI A would reouire a variance to the side vard setback. from 20' to 19.9'. The public hearing was close Commissioners discussed the need for a variance to road frontage. Commissioner Miltz-Miller felt perhaps there was a better way to subdivide and avoid the need for a variance. Commissioner Agness stated that decisions made by the Planning Commission are not made arbitrarily. He stated that each issue is looked at individually with the best possible recommendation going to the Council. Motion made by Malaski, seconded by Kellison to recommend approval of the request of William Culp/Norman Danner to subdivide 20 acres into two, ten acre parcels with a variance to road frontage from 300' to 276.76' for each lot, contingent on Washington County approval for septic sites on each lot. VOTING AYE: Agness, Schumann, Malaski, Kellison Peltier- eltierVOTING VOTINGNAY: Miltz-Miller Motion passed. Commissioner Miltz-Miller voted NAY on the motion for the following reasons: 1. Possible to subdivide without a variance 2. Appropriate cause for hardship not shown. The Planning Commission is also recommending that the applicant request a variance for the side yard setback for the existing garage as noted above. Motion made by Peltier, seconded by Malaski to adjourn at 8:30PM. All aye, motion passed. Carole LaBelle, Secretary koqo planning Commission
