Hager stated the road would be a two-lane <br />private road and the only road going in and out for 59 homes, which will have a great impact on the traffic <br />in the area. <br /> <br /> <br />PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT <br /> <br />5. #13-3629 RYAN AND STACY ALNESS, 1169 NORTH ARM DRIVE, SUBDIVISION – <br />RESOLUTION NO. 6335 <br /> <br />Ryan and Stacy Alness, Applicants, were present. <br /> <br />Gaffron noted at the October 14th City Council meeting they voted 3-1 to direct Staff to draft a resolution <br />for denial of the requested subdivision to extinguish the Special Lot Combination Agreement. The denial <br />resolution is included in the Council’s packet for consideration. <br /> <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 /> <br />Stacy Alness indicated they are willing to work with Xcel on relocating the pole. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />McMillan asked what work would be done to the pole facility and if the control would be replaced. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Item #03 - CC Agenda - *11/12/2013 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 10/28/2013 <br />[Page 5 of 14]
