The denial <br /> resolution is included in the Council's packet for consideration. <br /> Ryan Alness, 1169 North Arm Drive, stated he appreciates meeting with Staff this afternoon regarding <br /> access to their lake lot and that a solution has been arrived at. Alness stated their access is currently <br /> blocked by a lift station that was installed in the 1970s. The City Engineer has indicated the lift station <br /> could be modified to allow for a driveway to be built over at a cost of$8,000 to$15,000. Alness <br /> indicated they would be willing to pay for those expenses. In addition,a power pole may need to be <br /> relocated. <br /> Stacy Alness indicated they are willing to work with Xcel on relocating the pole. <br /> Ryan Alness noted they have obtained assurance from their neighbor at 1153 Elmwood that they can have <br /> an easement across their property. Alness noted an email to that effect has been sent in to City Staff. <br /> Mattick noted at the last City Council they voted to deny this application and that they need to adopt their <br /> findings to support the decision made. Mattick stated he is not sure whether there is a time requirement <br /> for when they can bring forward a different application. <br /> Gaffron stated it is typically six months for a variance but that he is not sure if that requirement applies to <br /> subdivisions. <br /> Mattick stated because the City Council voted to deny the request at the last meeting,they need to adopt <br /> the findings tonight. <br /> McMillan asked what work would be done to the pole facility and if the control would be replaced. <br /> Page 5 of 14 <br />
