S' <br />"I <br />Dennis Buratti, attorney from Dorsey, Whitney, law firm, was <br />present to represent the Nordstroms. Mark Gronberg, <br />surveyor, was also present. Chairman Callahan called for <br />the public hearing concerning the preliminary subdivision <br />for Nordstrom. Building & Zoning Administrator Mabusth <br />noted the certificate of mailing and the affidavit of <br />Dublication. George & Patricia Partridge of 625 Spring Hill <br />Road, and Harry B. Stocker of 465 Spring Hill Road were <br />present from the audience for this scheduled public hearing. <br />Building & Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained <br />Nordstrom's proposal to subdivide his homestead lot into 5 <br />bui Idable lots. Mabusth noted that the old driveway will be <br />removed up to the public cartway that serves the former <br />Crosby, Winston and Partridge residences. Mabusth stated <br />that staff recommends that the proposed curb cut on Spring <br />Hill Road be moved 60-70* eastward. Mabusth noted that all <br />new lots have suitable area for on site development but that <br />staff will ask for additional percs and borings for Lot 1 <br />further east and uphill from Partridge drive and alternate <br />tests for existing house lot. <br />Patricia Partridge of 6.15 Spring Hill Road expressed her <br />concern if the developer does not finish off the road bed <br />requirements and asked who will enforce the conditions. <br />Partridge asked staff why the septic site is proposed so <br />close to the lot line. <br />Building & Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that staff <br />will enforce the conditions of the final resolution. <br />Mabusth noted that the proposed septic test site meets the <br />required 20' setback but that time has shown that drainf ields <br />close to a drive can create problems. <br />Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron confirmed that the <br />proposed septic sitedo.iS meet the required 20' setback from <br />the lot line, but staff would feel more comfortable locating <br />the site further bac‘: from the lot line. <br />Kelley askro staff if each lot has 2 acres dry buildable. <br />Zoning AJministratoi Mabusth stated that the wetlands area <br />will be reconfirmed by the surveyor, Mark Gronberg. <br />Chairman Callahan questioned staff why the City should <br />require the applicant to abide by the DNR's setbacks from <br />lakes when the City hasn't even adopted the DNR's standards <br />yet and felt that this shouldn't be included in the motion. <br />Callahan closed the public hearing at 8:29 p.m.
