I ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES FOR APRIL 19, 1999 (#2474 Susan Wilson, continued) The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Steven and Susan Wilson, Applicants, were prese_nt.: W~inberger stated the Applicants are requesting a lot line rearrangement to change the lot line · 60 feet to the west to have the trees located along the east property line on the 325 South Brown Road property, which would allow that lot to have platted access to the Luce Line Trail. The property located at 2150 Abingdon Way will continue to have two suitable septic sites that can meet the 20 foot setback requirement from the east property line. The rearranged lot line will not make either lot non-conforming for lot area or setbacks or change the existing building pads. City Staff recommends approval of this application subject to the property owner providing a new 1 O foot drainage easement along the new east property line for 2150 Abingdon Way as well as the other conditions outlined in the April 19, 1999 Planner's Report. Mrs. Wilson commented that the land might be sold and they wanted to insure that the trees in that area will not be cut down. Smith noted that this was an unusual situation, but questioned whether the City would be running the risk of having other property owners construct alleys to other desirable locations. Weinberger stated the City has seen proposals similar to this requesting walkways down to Lake Minnetonka, but this is the first application requesting a walkway to the Luce Line. Weinberger remarked that another alternaiive to preserving the trees would be to grant a conservation easement, but noted this lot line rearrangement is really not creating a flag lot There were no public comments. Lindquist commented he does not have a problem with this application. Schroeder inquired whether any variances were necessary with this application. Weinberger stated it was simply a lot line rearrangement and would not require any variances. Lindquist moved, Berg seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2474, 325 Brown Road South/2510 Abingdon Way, Lot Line Rearrangement, with the understanding that a new 10 foot drainage easement along the new east property line for 2150 Abingdon Way will be required. VOTE: Ayes 6 1 Nays o. Mr. Wilson inquired whether they would be able to be put on the May 10th City Council agenda.
