The Ramstads request to vacate Hill Street

utility easement down the center of the street.

of the PRO ordinance to this particular
situation. Gasch also felt that other people
in similar situations had not been informed
of this alternative.

PRD application be approved with an easement

Conunission that the area Mr. Sweetser wanted
to dredge was not shown on the U.S. geodetic map.

letter where he states the depth of the pond

Planning Commission that because of the cost,
he would go no deeper than necessary to prevent
the regrowth of aquatic vegetation.

Mr. Starkey explained that the road that would DIVISION
provide access to the new lots curved as it Starkey
approached County Road 16 because of the
terrain. Mr. Starkey was also agreeable to
extending an easement to the south lot line
as well as move the east-west easement shown
on the preliminary plat S' to the south to
allow the existing home an adequate setback
for a side yard facing a street.
Paurus moved, Ryerse seconded, that approval
of the division be granted, subject to the
adequate dedication of the 50' easements
for present and future roads and utilities.
Motion, Ayes (6) - Nays (0).
Gasch asked for an explanation of the VARIANCE
percolation test supplied by Mills Engineering. Mondale
Mr. Mondale claimed that Mr. Scheller, the
Building Inspector, informed him that the test
indicated that an adequate septic system could
be constructed.
Gasch moved, Guthrie seconded, that a variance
be granted since this subdivision had been
created before the present zoning ordinance
and the Mondale lot was the same size as the
surrounding lots that have been developed.
Motion, Ayes (6) - Nays (0).
Mr. Bohn explained that his existing home
was destroyed by fire and he would like to
move the location of the new home to meet
the 10' setback requirement but not move it
so far that a new well would be required.
The new home would be 70' from the lake,
which would be in line with the surrounding
homes but because of the shape of the lot
would require a variance of 60' in lot width.

Q
Mr. Gobel explained to the Planning Commission
that when he sold the guest house on Lot 7
of his property he consulted the Village and
they required that it be connected to the
sewer. By complying with this request, Mr.
Gobel felt that he had met all the Village
requirements. Now that he is selling his
hone on Lot 6, he found that Lot 6 Q 7 are
one parcel and must be divided. Because
of the size of Lots 6 B 7, Acting Chairman
Searles felt that the Planning'Commission should
inspect the property and ask our legal counsel
for his comments before any recommendation
is made.
