"nie Comission noted tliat much of the original tract consists of loo plain and would therefore affect tlie amount of dry buildable land. After reviewing the plat, the Conmission detemined tliat tlie area above the 932 elevation would probably limit the tract to only tivo buildable sites. Jolin Gridley, representing Mr. Vetter, was present. Tlie Planning Connission advised him that 2 acres of dry buildable land are necessary in a non-sewer area to support an on-site septic system. Tlie Connission suggested tliat the developer recalculate to determine how much land is above 932 to arrive at the number of lots tliat would be available. John Christian of the Hennepin County Park Reserv^e and David l\Ver of the Metro Park Commission were also present. Mr Christian requested that the matter be tabled tc allow tliem to negotiate with Mr. Vetter whom they haven’t been able to contact. He stated that the Park Reserve has been working witli the Metro Park Commission in teirns of acquirinr tliis property as part of the Arthur .Mien hild- life Sanctuary. Mr. Gridley stated that he was aware that at one time the Park Board expressed an interest in tins pronerty, but indicated at that time that tliey did not have the funding for this pro]ierty. Mr. V.Ver explained that lie was one of many jieople involved in instigating tlie purchase of a piece of property on Big Island for the Artliur Allen Wildlife Sanctuary with the exception of this piece of property before the Commission at tliis time. Tliey would like some more time to talk with Mr. Vetter to discuss whether tivo or three lots would be available as this could have an affect on Mr. Vetter's prive. The pulilic hearing was closed at 8:35 p.m. Tlie Zoning Administrator advised tliat the Hennepin County Soil and Water Conservation District would be willing to investigate some of the out-of-site areas if they were to receive some reimbursement. Tlie Planning Comission felt that it was extremely im|X)rtant that a determination made that tliere are 2 acres of land per site that is suitable for an on-site septic system, and that it would not be unrea sonable to require a fee from the subdivider in order to obtain this information from the Soil r, Water Conservation District. Tlie Planning Commission also felt that a deter mination should be made by tlie City Engineer as to the amount of dry buildable land in is tliis parcel. DURi\TJJ.
