Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron informed the Council of the major issues involved with this application. At the May 15, 1989 Planning Commission Meeting, access became thisissue of concern. The applicants' are proposing access to the non - homestead parcel directly off of County Road 15. They obtained a letter from Mr. David Zetterstrom of Hennepin County • indicating that the County had no objections to such a proposal. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stierna, neighboring property owners, expressed their concerns for safety should a new access onto County Road 15 be created. The Planning Commission suggested that the applicants explore the possibility of sharing Mr. and Mrs. Stierna's driveway. Mr. and Mrs. Stierna had indicated that could be an option, in addition the option of accessing the property from the rear using an existing easement. Mr. Stierna said that he had determined that sharing a driveway would not be beneficial. He briefly explained the easement that was reflected on his certificate of title. Ms. LaQuay advised the Council on the history of the easement to which Mr. Stierna referred. She said that it had since been extinguished as it was no longer necessary once Heritage Drive was constructed. Councilmember Goetten said that she disliked the proposed location of the driveway. Councilmember Nettles concurred and suggested that the driveway be configured away from the Stierna's property line. Gaffron said that locating the driveway further north elsewhere could interfere with the front alternate drainfield site. Gaffron suggested that a third site to the rear of the property be tested for mound system capabilities. If the site is suitable, the alternate site to the front of the property could be eliminated. This would allow for the driveway to be • located more to the center of the parcel, and would also provide a slight increase in the size of the building envelope. 7
