MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JANUARY 12, 1987 #1076 KRUEGER CONTINUED Councilmember Goetten questioned the lot width variance in a new subdivision. Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained that the lot lines were realligned to meet the 200' lot width minimum which was a vast improvement as to the lot width over the prior situation. He noted that the type of reallignment was appropriate given the topography and septic system location. City Attorney Blatz recommended that the drafted resolution be amended to read (Page 2 - #2) "The aforesaid division shall not be filed by the City of Orono with Hennepin County Records Office until such time that the applicant provides documentation that the declaration of private road easement and agreement for maintenance of same has been filed with Hennepin County. She explained that the problem was that the City has no documentation regarding Holly Acres 2nd Addition, therefore does not know the nature of those agreements. In order to protect the City's interest it would be adviseable to have documents refiled for both Holly Acres 1st and 2nd Additions even though it would involve more property owner signatures. Present for this matter were Franklin Groves, 215 Hollander, and Paul Merz, 205 Hollander. Mr. Groves made no comments. Mr. Merz stated he had no problem with City Attorney Blatz's recommendation. Applicant, Ward Krueger, was not present for this matter. Due to Mr. Krueger's absence, Mayor Grabek asked staff if this would be agreeable to Mr. Krueger, suggesting that the matter be tabled for applicant's presence. Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated that there may be a concern with timing being the next Council meeting is not until February 9, 1987, however, he did not know if Mr. Krueger would be agreeable. In order to protect the City's interest and expedite this matter, City Attorney Blatz recommended inserting language into the resolution such as "documentation of declaration of road easement and maintenance of same signed by necessary parties is filed ", which would give staff the opportunity to review the documents to determine if Holly Acres 2nd Addition has to sign. It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember Sime, to adopt Resolution #2109 approving a metes and bounds subdivision of a lot line rearrangement amending the resolution-as recommended by City Attorney Blatz.
