Reappointment of Planning Commission Men^ts w.m-9ess> k . .‘'•.'-••in III I iiiiismi III .j w I* -V MINUTES OF A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 28, 1980 The Planning Commission met on the above date. Present were the following members; Chairman Wilson, Adams, Hammerel and Jabbour. Mabusth represented the City staff. Mabusth advised the Planning Commission that their recommendation was sought concerning the realignment of the south property line for the Scherber subdivision. The State Building Code requires a minimal 3' setback from the property line before structural modifications are required. The Orono Zoning Code rt'^aires a 10' setback for accessory structures. Maou-' h noted that the proposed plan did show a setback for the garage of 10* and the shed and fence were setback 3' from the property line. Dave Carlson, representing the applicant, reviewed Mr. Scherber's position. Mabusth noted for the record Mr. Solomonson's letter in which he states that he would abide with any decision the Council deems necessary. Frahm arrived. Adams moved to recommend approval of the proposed lot line realignment as a reasonable solution in consideration of the other alternatives; to approve the creation of Outlot A allowing a 3' setback from the encroaching shed, under the express condition that Scherber will transfer Outlot A to Mr. Solomonson. Outlot A must be legally combined with Mr. Solomonson's reside*r?Lial lot. It should be noted that the setback created by this sub­ division is unique to that shed. Motion seconded by Hammerel. Vote; Ayes (5), Nays (0). Motion passed unanimously. Wilson noted for the record that the existing condition was not a result of Scherber's doing and that the maximum required of Scherber by the Planning Commission was a 3' setback but that the Council has the option to leave the lot line as is and require the removal of the shed. Mr. Haefele and Mr. Martin were present. Mabusth reviewed for the applicants the responses from Hennepin County Highway Department and the Public Works Director. The Planning Commission was to determine if the area of Navarre Lane to be vacated although no longer used as a public roadway still involved any public interest. ATTENDANCE 7:30 P.M.

Ln M m MINUTES OF A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 28, 198C PAGE 2 Hennepin County requested an additional 33' of right- of-way at the west end of Navarre Lane at the inter­ section of Shadywood. The Public Works Director stated that easements for the four utilities would be necessary and access for maintenance of the two fire hydrants on the south side of Navarre Lane. Mr. Haefele questioned the City's concern in vacating just a roadway easement not a dedicated road. He added that all abutting property owners would grant the necessary easements for the four utilities and that the area would be maintained to allow access to the fire hydrants. Staff was asked to send pertinent sections of the application file to enable Mr. Haefele to submit a written response for Council Meeting of February 11, i980. Wilson made the following motion: The proposal as we understand involves the vacation of Navarre Lane from the intersection of County Road 19 to the Olive Avenue intersection with the possible exception of a 33' strip of additional right-of-way requested by the County and that adjacent property owners be required to grant underlying easements for all four utilities including access to the fire hydrants resulting in the following advantages benefitingf the public interest: 1. abutting property owners plan to clean up and landscape the entire area, 2. title difficulties for church resolved, 3. property placed back on tax roles, and 4. eliminate need of City to maintain street area. The difficulties of the Planning Commission to come to grips with the proposal is the issue of safety involving both fire hydrants located in street right-of-way which remain important for public safety requiring the City to maintain the access to hydrants offsetting benefit of vacation. In the absence of any direction as to possible use of the hydrant, we are recommending that just so much of Navarre Lane be vacated to uncloud the Church's real estate title* Adams seconded the motion with an additional comment. He advised that before a vacation of the whole street can be considered, an adequate review and study must be made of the exact location of all four utilities and the proposed land­ scape plan for the area. Vote: Ayes (5), Nays (0). Motion passed unanimously. R. HAEFELE, E. MARTIN, & R. HASSEL Navarre Lane VACATION (#528) Cont.
