Mabusth stated she had the Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing. Applicants Richard Haefele, representing the Grace Baptist Church, 2380 Shadywood, and Erwin Martin, 3340 Shoreline Drive, were present. Mabusth located the portion of Navarre Lane involved in the vacation. A review was made of the utilities that underlie that portion of Navarre Lane. 1 HAEFELE, MARTIN, HASSEL VACATION OF A PORTION OF NAVARRE LANE (#528) Public Hearing 8:00 P.M. - 8:30 P.M. t The four utilities involved (telephone, gas, sewer, and water) cover a major portion of the 66' right of way. Planning Commission noted that if the entire vacation was ap­ proved each utility would require a 10' easement and have adequate access to the area for maintenance. Richard Haefele stated that the Church was unable to get clear title to the property because of the Church building's encroachment into the street's right of way, and that a considerable amount of money was being held aside until this matter is cleared up. Planning Commission noted that it may be possible to just vacate that specific area of encroachment to accommodate the Church. Mr. Haefele contends that this would really not help the down-graded condition of the immediate area. The petitioners had plans . IT m I ;.i {• M MINUTES OF A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 26, 1979 Page 3 to grass and landscape the entire vacated area. He stated that since the road was blocked off, the City has not maintained the area and just unused crumbling blacktop remains. Erwin Martin wanted to be assured that the Vacation would not effect his access to Shadywood. Mabusth noted that the County Highway Department will not approve a new curb cut within the Navarre Lane right of way at County Road 19 intersection. Hurr advised that it may be unwise to consider vacating lands so close to the County Road 15 and 19 intersection when plans to expand that intersection are under consideration. Jabbour questioned how there could be any public benefit if the vacation results in transferring a portion of the access to a Church. He would like the City Attorney to clarify this point. Wilson moved to table the application pending the receipt of responses-from the following: 1.County Highway Department to determine the amount of right of way they might require for a possible expansion of County Road 15 and 19 intersection. In this report, the question of retaining the access to Shadywood for the service station should be resolved. 2.Public Works Department, Gas, and Telephone Companies should determine existing location of utilities within Navarre Lane. 3.City Attorney to answer the following: What kind of finding must the City have to allow vacation? Ad€«ns seconded the motion. Vote: Ayes (5) , Nays (0). Motion passed unanimously. i A-!-’ : : M - < ■n-1 i I iiiinrinrii wHtmt 11 Hill •f .. i.

Mabusth stated she had the Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing. Robert Niichel and Robert Schneck, 3155 James­ town Road, a neighbor, were present. Mabusth reviewed the reasons for the lot line realign­ ment of Lot 3, Block 1, Liberty Acres. Lot 4, Block 1, Liberty Acres is unable to support an on-site septic system due to the topography, soil conditions and adjacent wetlands. The additional land acquired with the proposed subdivision will allow Lot 4 a standard system and enough land for an alternate system. Lot 3 will still contain 5 acres plus with the necessary minimum 2 acres dry buildable. Robert Schneck wanted to be certain that this subdivision will not have any negative effects on the Liberty Acres plat. Planning Commission advised that this subdivision will only im­ prove the neighborhood. m Hannah moved to recommend approval of the metes and bounds division of Robert Niichel based on the findings of the Staff. Adauns seconded the motion. Votes Ayes (5) , Nays (0). Motion passed unanimously. ROBERT NIICHEL 3135 Jamestown Road Public Information Mtg. 8:30 P.M. - 8:40 P.M.

Mabusth clarified the circ<imstances leading to the misunderstanding of the remodeling and addition to the rear of the structure. The Staff in­ ventory of the Van Tassel's Conditional Use Permit Application of this summer did not reveal the rear addition. The Zoning Administrator, after an inspection of the site, located the original site plan (presented to Council in Van Tassel's Variance Application of last summer) in the building inspector's file. There is still no need for a hardcover variance with the 12' x 12' addition. In this application the applicants request a side yard variance of 4.6' for a 10' x 16' deck. The hardship claimed by the applicants are steep slope of rear yard, tree at Northeast corner of screened porch and no adjacent lots available. Planning Commission advised the Van Tassels that a letter from the neighbors to the north would support their case. Jabbour questioned whether the hardships claimed Supported the request for another deck when the Commission had just approved deck space on top of the boathouse. Hannah moved to recommend approval of the varianc for a 4.6' side yard due to the hardship of the steep slope on rear of property and tree at the Northeast corner; the deck would afford the additional recreation area. Hammerel seconded the motion. Vote: Ayes (3) H2unmerel, Hannah, Adams; Nays (1), No Vote (1). Wilson felt the deck was not integral enough to the use of the property to realize a hardship. Jabbour did not record a vote. Jabbour will respond to Council. ROBERT A. VAN TASSEL 1170 Loma Linda VARIANCE (#531) : ■■ •...•• ■ ■ -• ■ ■ . .iV. .. .. .. . ..... •••• • . .-'J !. : V- ; ; r-.
