He added one legal reason for denial of a <br /> rezoning is the zoning requested is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Rem seconded a motion to <br /> . deny request for rezoning since it is not consistent with the City's Comprehensive <br /> Plan and to deny the Master Plan PUD and Final Plan PUD/Site Plan requests <br /> since they are inconsistent with the current zoning.

Case #01-27, Tom and Kathy Goserud/Roger Aiken, 4320 and 4360 Hamline <br /> A venue, Preliminary Plat and Variance <br /> Mr. Parrish explained the request before the Council was for a preliminary plat and a <br /> variance to facilitate platting seven lots from two existing lots. He stated the two <br /> existing lots would be retained with existing single-family residences. He noted the <br /> remainder lots would be available for singe-family residential development. He added <br /> the first variance that is being requested is to allow for the use of a private access. He <br /> stated the second variance for lots 2 through 6 is for lot depth variances. He noted the <br /> range in type that is being requested. He added there have been past applications on <br /> these properties. He stated most recently there was a plan for a PUD for 12 detached <br /> townhomes. He noted unresolved issues caused the application to be withdrawn. He <br /> added that with the platting in the surrounding area on the south of Mr. Goserud's <br /> property with Karth Lake Second Addition and Karth Lake South there was also <br /> consideration given to these properties in terms of access or potential access. He <br /> reviewed the performance criteria contained in the staff report. He stated there are <br /> some lot depth variances that are being requested. He noted access is the fundamental <br /> issue. He added the subdivision ordinance requires a public dedicated street. He <br /> . stated the fire inspector indicated 20 feet of bituminous would be the minimum <br /> requirement for fire access. He noted the City Engineer indicated that this type of <br /> development would be more appropriately served by a public road. He added that as a <br /> result the Planning Commission did recommend denial with regard to private access. <br />
