MINUTES OF APRIL 16, 1990 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />ZONING FILE #1516-MACMILLAN CONTINUED ^ ^ <br />Gaffron located an existing tennis court and stated that it <br />is between 15' and 2'i' from the lot line. <br />Bellows observed that once the house (1620 Fox Street) is <br />removed there will be no principle structure as required if the <br />tennis court is to remain. <br />In regard to the proposed alignment for Outlot C, Gaffron <br />said, "The City Engineer prefers not to have the Outlot dead end <br />in the middle of someone's lot. However, the proposed outlot <br />follows the logical progression along the existing driveway and <br />from a topography standpoint, it may be the best location. The <br />City Engineer did not like the idea of ending the road against a <br />prooerty line of a fully developed lot.

Why is the driveway being used as an alternative. <br />I think that should be clarified for the record. <br />Baldwin explained that the use of the private road is only <br />being increased by the addition of one house. He said. The <br />MacMillan's have a strong desire to maintain the high degree of <br />privacy. Also, with the wetland and the slopes and the limited <br />area we have for on-site septic systems, we would make a mess of <br />- 2 -
