Pu/ak staled as far as the design of the house is concerned. Item No. 3 in StafTs Report indicates that any changes to the approved plan would require a new variance application.

Weinberger staled the language included in the motion subject to Staff review and approval would give Staff llie opportunity to do that. Weinberger staled if StafT feels the revised house plan is bevorid Council's approval, they would bring that application back before the Council. Flint suggested the Applicant work with Staff on drafting a resolution for Council approval. Puzxik inquired what would happen if an easement is not obtained from Franklin. Saiisevcrc staled he would then need to come back to the Council with his house design and a workable septic system design. Nygard stated this application would not be finally approved until the next Council meeting, so if there are changes that have occurred, the Applicant can address them at tlic ne.xi meeting. Flint slated the application was not in a form that could be finalized and approved tonight. Franklin inquired what steps he would need to follow in order to grant an casement. Weinberger slated they would need to determine the appropriate location where the sewer line would enter the property and a legal description, along with Franklin's signature prosiding an casement to the public. Gaffron stated Staff does have standard language for an casement, but someone will need to develop an easement description, which is the most time-consuming and difficult part of granting an easement. Fuzak inquired how long that process would take. Gaffron stated that really is not up to the City to determine. Tom Kellogg. City Engineer, commented that things might have changed from when the feasibility report was completed on this area. Kellogg indicated at the time the feasibility report was done, it was assumed the alignment would follow the driveway, which may not be the case currently. Kellogg stated to his recollection the driveway was located on thie higher side of the peninsula, with the most logical place for the sewer line being on the low side. Kellogg recommended someone review the property to determine where the sewer line should go and what type of system will be utilized m this area. Franklin stated he docs have an architect and builder involved in his project now, and in his view the location of the easement could be resolved fairly quickly. PAGE 22
