MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON APRIL 14,1997 <br />• ( #11 Valeks Request for Vacation - Continued) <br />Jabbour opined that since the park was large in size, there should be different ways by <br />which to access the park property rather than from one access only. <br />Valek said he was opposed to moving the 10' easement or enlarging it as he was informed <br />it was a utility easement. <br />Kelley asked if the Palmer property, which is the neighbor from whom the Valek's wish <br />to obtain additional land, has a sewer stub or is buildable. Valek indicated there was no <br />sewer to that property. Moorse and Gaffron said they did not know. Kelley was <br />informed that no one has spoken to the Palmer's. Kelley said if the land was purchased <br />from the Palmer's, he would still recommend the 10' easement located on the west side of <br />the Valek property and the driveway reconfigured. <br />Gaffron indicated the easement was a dedicated right -of -way and would require a lot line <br />rearrangement. It was questioned what the size of the lot would become. He indicated <br />the .45 acre lot with sewer desiring building certification would require a variance. There <br />would not be a need for 80% of lot size requirement as it is a lot of record. He felt the <br />variance would probably be approved as the lot meets all standards. <br />Jabbour moved, Peterson seconded, to direct Staff to draft a resolution to be signed by <br />• the Mayor and sent to Hennepin County allowing the Valek's to purchase the 1/2 acre <br />parcel. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />Jabbour indicated the applicant may request a vote regarding the 10' easement vacation <br />or could return with a lot line rearrangement. <br />Valek said he may not purchase the property from the neighbor. He questioned how he <br />was to handle the issue of the driveway. Mrs. Valek indicated they were informed to <br />blacktop or cement the driveway to allow the drainage to flow away from the residence. <br />Jabbour recommended the driveway be relocated. <br />Valek reiterated the Park and Planning Commissions recommendation for access to the <br />park land via Garden Lane. <br />Goetten indicated the issue would be discussed as part of a lot line rearrangement. <br />Moorse noted that the vacation cannot be formally acted on at this meeting. <br />Jabbour suggested the Valek's meet with the neighbors regarding a decision to purchase <br />additional land. <br />0 (Agenda Item 912 discussed below after Item 97 which follows Item #14) <br />15 <br />
