Both Mr. Popov and Mr. Poisson were present, but only Mr. Poisson made any comments. Ihe Planning Commission noted that the area was not staked and the members had difficulty orientating themselves to the proposal. Major concern was the drainageway and how the access easement would affect it. Staff also stated they would need more detailed topographical data before the engineer could review the easement proposal and that soil testing would have to be done on the back parcel. This subdivision will also require formal platting. Staff will review the Filbrandt property before preliminary review. A Public Information Meeting will be scheduled for August 28, 1978. This item was reviewed as a Sketch Plan Review. Mrs. Hollander and Mr. Knutson, the engineer, were present. They presented a new map showing Lot 3 as having two acres dry buildable instead of the 1.7 acres previously submitted. The current proposal is to do the division in two phases; Phase I - West parcel to be divided into eight lots plus a remaining outlot. Phase II - East parcel plus the Phase I outlot be divided into seven lots to complete the division. Discussion included the desire for a private road with no direct access on County Road 6, a temporary cul-de-sac and an easement to the City of the continuation of the proposed road through the east parcel. Mrs. Hollander proposed that the existing rental house would eventually be included in with her lot and used as a guest house.
