Mabusth stated they were met which resulted in the smaller lot being increased to 3.12 + acres. It was noted that the western lot line was not completely defined. Ms. Gluek felt this was an oversight of the surveyor. Main discussion was regarding the completion of this lot line, with the following alternatives being mentioned: 1) move lot line straight north, 2) follow the 930 contour line, or 3) run a straight line or a series of straight lines over to the easterly boundary roughly following the wetland area. Ms. Gluek expressed a desire to not include the wetlands ^^1® timej she will discuss it with her surveyor before making a final decision. 0 KATHLEEN GLUEK 2440 No. Shore Drive SUBDIVISION Public Info, Meeting 7:37 P.M. - 7:40 P.M.

Work Session (#478) ■ # e 'E ?E Q MINUTES OF A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON MAY 21, 1979 Page 3 m Vacation of the utility easement will not interfere with drainage. Consensus of the Planning Commission was that there would not be a problem with vacating the utility easement. L.J. WHALEN 2435 Scotch Pine Lane VARIANCE/UTILITY VAC. Work Session (#478) Cont. The pool will require a front yard setback variance. Original request was a 25' setback, but it is^now 30*-31* setback which is a variance 19*-20'. There is no problem with hardcover anil the pool does comply with the 26' wetland setback. The majority of the neighbors present were in favor of the variance request, however, Mr. Samuel Marfield (2455 Scotch Pine Lane), was opposed. Present with Mr. Marfield was Mr. John Shardlow (Howard Dahlgren Associates) who has reviewed this request in regards to any effects this application would have on the Marfield property. Mr. Marfield felt that the pool should either be built in the Whalen's backyard |;^o variances would be needed or Scotch Pine Lane should be vacated which would also permit the pool to be constructed without any need for a variance. Mr. Whalen stated that a backyard location for the pool was not desirable as it is the only treed area on the lot, is narrow, and is accessible only to the garage and livingroom. Both Mr. Whalen and Mr. Marfield presented letters clarifying their positions which were given to the Commission members and staff. Applicant is to stake the pool so the septic inspector can make a site inspection- to determine if there is any interference with the septic drainfield. The application will be on the agenda of the Planning Commission Meeting of June 11, 1979 at which time a Public Hearing will be held on the utility easement vacation. 1 IL ■ ■ V.. . ir^; j J m minutes of a planning commission meeting held on may 21, 1979 Page 4 Mr, and Mrs. Williams were present. This item has been scheduled as a work session as staff felt the request was similar to the Watson application (#462) with common ownership the main issue. A policy determination decision which is before the Council at the next meeting could possibly affect this application, therefore, staff felt it should be processsed in this manner. Wilson stated that he did not see this as the same as the Watson application as there is plenty of land available in this application. Mr. and Mrs. Williams stated that they had purchased these lots filter there h?d been a variance granted making them a buildable lot in 1969, THOMAS WILLIAMS 455 Park Lane VARIANCE Work Session (#480) r, Staff was instructed to check the Council Minutes to verify the variance approval. This item will be on the agenda for the June 11, 1979 meeting. 'v** ^ :■ Applicant was not present.
