VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0. 11. #05 -3160 JUDSON M. DAYTON, 825 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD SOUTH — LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT Gaffron stated that the applicant proposes to combine and re- arrange the lot lines among three existing tax parcels to result in just two parcels. The 21 -acre parcel contains an existing residence structure, guest house, barn and various outbuildings. The easterly of the existing smaller parcels contains a cabin; the westerly of the smaller parcels contains a variety of small outbuildings near the lakeshore. The intent is to 1) combine the two smaller parcels into one 5 -acre building site; 2) then rearrange the lot line between this combination and the 21 -acre parcel to straighten out the common lot line; and 3) formalize a driveway easement through the 21 -acre parcel out to Old Crystal Bay Road to serve the 5 -acre parcel. With regard to the Planning Commission recommendation to approve the rearrangement, Gaffron pointed out that they recommended the application not be subject to platting, and should not be subject to park fees or stormwater and drainage trunk fees, both of which would be appropriate only if the property is further subdivided in the future. Attorney Barrett questioned whether the City might wish to have an interest in the 30' driveway easement to avoid any future problems between property owners. In this case, the Council might recommend taking the 30' easement in order to create a public road at some point if necessary. Murphy asked whether the planning staff recommendation differed from that of the Planning Commission. Bremer posed the question of what might happen if the 21 -acre parcel currently for sale is further subdivided, PAGE 6 of 9 n f� • • a
