MINUTES OF THE REGULAR PLANNING COMAISSION MEETING, MONDAY, MAY 20, 1974, 7:30 P.M. The meeting was called to order by Chairman VanNest at 7:40 PM. All members present with exception of Kallestad and Elliott. Fred Curtis moved, Paul Pesek seconded, that the Minutes of the April 15, 1974, Planning Commission meeting be approved. Ayes (7) Nays (0). Chairman VanNest opened the Public Hearing at 7:42 P.M. regard - Harold Anderson ing a subdivision of 2 acres off from a 10 acre tract legally Subdivision _ described as Plat 41360, Parcel 1412. The Zoning Administrator presented the Notice of Public Hearing, the Certificate of Mail- ing, and the Affidavit of Publication. The Planning Commission agreed that a simple subdivision with a variance for the setback of the barn and for a 1.9 acre lot is justified and all future property owners will buy the property with full knowledge of the location of this barn. If Mr. Ander- son were to comply with the strict letter of the law, he would create a lot with an unusual and undesirable shape. After all persons were afforded an opportunity to be heard, the Public Hearing was closed at 7:45 P.M. Kuliberg moved, Curtis seconded, that the simple subdivision with a variance for allowing a 1.9 acre lot and a variance from the required 150' setback for a stable be granted conditioned on the payment of a 5% park fee on the 2 acre site, and that the remaining 8.1 acres be combined with the property to the east. Ayes (7) Nays (0). Chairman VanNest opened the Public Hearing at 7:45 P.M. for the Hugh Harrison property legally described as Plat 41620, Parcel 3000. The Subdivision Zoning Administrator presented the Affidavit of Publication, the Notice of Public Hearing, and the Certificate of Mailing. The Zoning Administrator explained to the Planning Commission that the staff felt that it was essential that a public right - of -way be provided to the proposed 2.5 acre parcel, and that the narrow strip of land which provides lake access should be widened from 30' to 501. Mr. Lahti - What would be the purpose of extehding Long Lake Blvd. as a public road, and how would it be done since the pro- posed lot is separated from the public road right -of -way at the present time by a private easement? Mr. Harri'son - Since I do not anticipate subdividing my property in the future, 1 see no need for providing a public road. in add- ition, I would be willing to .widen the 30' strip, but I would like to keep it as narrow as possible. Commissioner Gasch - Although the property to the east of this is marsh, establishing a standard of 50' of lakeshore as being the minimum allowed seems reasonable. Since the marsh lakeshore property to the east of the 30' strip cannot be that valuable, it would seem approp- riate that we require Mr. Harrison to provide 501 of lakeshore.
