•* — • W A . w A • W A W**4*^HO*31W a ^ <br />MEETING HELD ON MAY 15, 1995 <br />(#13 - # 1SOO Michael Plank - Continued) <br />Plank asked if approval could be given under the 1993 standards. Lindt^uist said the <br />standards of today need to be upheld. <br />Peterson asked for Plank's opinion on a road with a cul-de-sac Peterson said the Planning <br />Commission would probably look favorably on giving a width variance in this <br />circumstance Plank said a road would take more space and questioned what would <br />happen if chances w ere to be made to Watenown Road. <br />• <br />Nolan said the approval could stipulate what would trigger a change if the drive were to <br />come off of Watenow n Road. Referring to Exhibit D-6, Peterson said if lot Y (the future <br />3rd lot) has a home with it, then a road would be needed. Prior to this, the road would <br />only be dedicated. Plank w ould maintain control of Iocs X and Y and road postpon«i. If <br />X or Y were to be built on, the road would be constructed. Lot X might need access off a <br />cul-de-sac if Watenown Road were improv ed or its status upgraded to a level where <br />hnuting individual driveway access onto it is critical. <br />Gafiron questioned whether the City could require the Applicant to close their drive from <br />Watenown Road under the current lot line rearrangement application. Plank ask why he <br />would want to do this. Commissioners responded that when applicant's desire a change in <br />their properties, this is the time for leverage in gaining solutions to future "what-if* <br />questions. <br />Lindquist said an easement covenant would be required as a deed restriction on the sale of <br />lot X and development of lot Y. The width variance would be a non-issue. Other <br />commissioners agreed. <br />Lindquist asked if the City could require Lot X to access off a cul-de-sac in the future. <br />Gaiffon said if Lot I (X/Y) were divided, the City could then change the access to a road, <br />and the road could be built for a level of 3 users. Plank asked if this issue could be <br />addressed at that future time. The commissioners informed him that it was being <br />addressed now and consistent with a 3-lot division. <br />Gafifon said the 1988 resolution which allowed lot line to happen, included a statement <br />that the developer could use the outlet to serve lot 3 and a future lot split from it (Y and <br />Z). Lindquist and Berg said yes, but the code has changed, and that split never occurred. <br />Plank w as reminded that if lot 2 were sold now. there would likely not be enough land to <br />have another lot. <br />Nolan commented that future commissions and councils might view the property <br />differently and Watertown Road might not be upgraded. Any future changes would be <br />decided on at time of future applications, but, the time to gain the casement is now.
