LARRT LEE 1050 GARDEN LANE CLASS III PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PUBLIC HEARING 7:35 - 8:35 The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were duly noted. The applicants' representative, Mr. James Krautkremer, was present. Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained that this application involved a 30 Lot subdivision of a 36.7 acre parcel. There are currently 5 separate owners of this property; Palmers, Valek, Sollner, Hawkinson, and O. Larry Lee/Yorktown Development. Mabusth went on to say that Lots 5, 6 and 10 require a lot width variance. Lot 11 on Tonkaview will require a lot area variance. Kelley asked what the lot width standard was? Mabusth replied 140' must be met to the rear of the front yard setback line which is 35' in from the street. The existing house on Lot 9 should be shown on the plat in order to confirm that the setbacks are met from the new division lines. A through road is being proposed from Tonkaview to West Branch Road. The property will be sewered but municipal water is not available. The developers will be responsible for providing municipal services to the property, as well as the road. Planning Commission member Johnson asked if the road on the east side by West Branch was located on half of each lot line. Mabusth confirmed that and added that the road had already been platted with previous subdivisions. Mabusth explained that there are certain vacations proposed with this application. The City's standards have changed in that the City only asks for roadways to be 50 feet in width. The existing road is 60' in width and the City will ask for a reduction. It may be more appropriate to vacate the entire road and put in the new road at the 50' width. The applicant is proposing to vacate a portion of Highview Lane, as well as a 10' alley that extends along the north lot lines of lots within the Burquist-Wicklund Addition that runs along Tonkaview. The City has explored the possibility of a future access
