MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING HELH JANUARY 15, 1973 Page 3 <br />Kullberg had reservations about the drainage <br />in the area and questioned whether there <br />would be problems in the spring. <br />CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT <br />(Continued) <br />Nagener countered there should be no more <br />problems with a pond than there are now. <br />Marston stated he bad contacted Mr. Mixa <br />of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District. <br />Mr. Mixa was of the opinion these projects <br />had value providing the ponding area was <br />not reduced by the castings from the dredging. <br />Van West moved, Searles seconded, that approval <br />should be recommended. Motion, Ayes (7) - <br />Ways (1). Kullberg Nay for the reasons <br />stated above. <br />Attorney Whitehead appeared. He was asked <br />for an opinion if there were any alternatives <br />to vacating Hill Street and still give the <br />Eskos the clear title they wanted. He was <br />of the opinion there was not. <br />STREET VACATION <br />Hill Street <br />© <br />Van Nest moved, Elliott seconded, that the <br />approval be recommended for vacation of the <br />south half of Hill Street east of Crestview <br />Avenue, ffotion, Ayes (8) - Nays (0). <br />Ron Vantine appeared as the attorney for <br />the Hendel estate presenting a plat showing <br />the proposed division of the estate. <br />DIVISION <br />Julius Hendel Estate <br />Attorney Whitehead spoke on divisions of <br />large estates into large parcels. He felt <br />that strict adherence to the platting <br />ordinance in its entirety was very costly <br />for a division that requires very little <br />planning, no streets, no storm sewers. He <br />cited our municipal ordinance that states <br />subdivisions are not required for parcels <br />over five acres used for agriculture. <br />While the term "agriculture" made the <br />ordinance "fuzzy", most municipalities do <br />not require strict adherance to a platting <br />ordinance in the larger divisions. <br />Searles had reservations about an access to <br />Willow Drive to the east on account of the <br />wetlands ordinance as shown on the plat as <br />submitted. Mr. Vantine was of the opinion <br />that since the easement was serpentine, <br />the high contours on the property were followed. <br />(Continued) <br />I <br />i <br />4 <br />% <br />t. <br />I!
