J <br /> JULY 5, 1989 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, PAGE FIVE <br /> • Mr. Wegleitner noted he had spoken to Barry Peters, former City Engineer, <br /> and Peters felt the easement was large enough for adequate ponding. <br /> Mr. Roger Aiken, 4360 North Hamline, and owner of Lot 8, Borstad Addition, <br /> expressed concern over the ponding and drainage of his lot and was not <br /> comfortable with the proposed lot division. <br /> Mr. Wegleitner noted the applicants were looking at subdividing the <br /> property either with or without the variances. <br /> Chair Probst noted that subdivisions are not approved with variances and <br /> the Planning Commission would not grant a variance anyway, since no <br /> hardship has been shown. The Commission probably would grant a lot <br /> division if no variances or easement problems were involved. <br /> Mr. Weaver, co-owner of the property in question, indicated he would like <br /> g engineering review of <br /> after obtaining an en <br /> to come back to the Commission g <br /> the easement. He noted he had paid assessments on this property for sewer <br /> and water since 1970, and wanted to state that for the record. <br /> COUNCIL Councilmember Growe reported on items of interest to the <br /> REPORT Commission, including action taken by the Council on <br /> previous planning commission cases. She and Administrator <br /> Berger also updated the members on the Lake Johanna sewage leak, as well <br /> as on the appointment of a new engineering firm, Maier Stewart and <br /> Associates, the creation of Tax Increment Financing Districts No. 1 and 2, <br /> a proposal for redevelopment by Trammel Crowe, and what Delta <br /> Environmental Consultants proposed for Lake Johanna. <br /> MISCELLANEOUS Chair Probst brought up the issue that many of the <br /> remaining vacant lots in the City may be substandard, or <br /> a wetland area may be involved, and felt this issue should <br /> possibly be addressed or taken into considertion in the future. Would the <br /> Commission be interested in changing the ordinance to allow for this so <br /> there wouldn't be the need for so many variances in the future? <br /> ADJOURN There being no further business to come before the <br /> Commission, Commissioner Zehm moved, seconded by <br /> Commissioner Carlson, that the meeting be adjourned. <br /> Ayes: 5 <br /> Nays: 0 <br /> TIME OF ADJOURNMENT: 9:17 P.M. <br /> Dennis Probst, Chairman <br />
