REPORT OF PLANNER CASE NO. 89-02, Minor Subdivision Karth Lake So. Second Addition Council was referred to Planner Bergly's report of March 1 relative to the minor subdivision of Karth Lake South Second Addition, located east of Hamline at Wyncrest Court. Bergly displayed a map showing the proposed subdivision and lot combination and reviewed a previous request by the applicant, Marcel Eibensteiner, for a lot split and consolidation in this area, which was denied in 1983 by the Planning Commission, due to the creation of an irregular lot shape in the proposal. Bergly noted that the current proposal envisions lot width and depth variances on Lots 1 and 5 and the subdivision ordinance specifies that a minor subdivision may not contain variances. The owners of Lot 9, Mr. and Mrs. Brad Jacobsen, 1295 Wyncrest Court, were present and expressed concern over the triangular portion of their lot which is proposed to be included in the plat, as part of an easement for access to the rear portion of the lot northeasterly of Lot 9, which is owned by Mr. Thomas Goserud, 4350 Hamline Avenue. Planner Bergly advised that the Planning Commission recommended approval of this request as a simple subdivision at their March 1 meeting. He felt the City engineer should take a look at the drainage swale that runs across Lots 1, 3, 4, and 5. Bergly also noted that two lots would be involved with a park dedication requirement for this plat. Councilmember Hansen asked if the 194 foot lot depth for Lot 1 includes the 33 foot right-of-way on Hamline. Bergly indicated that the right-of-way is not included in the 194 feet.

He felt they:should have been advised of this request and added that. the zoning ordinance does not require a public hearing for a minor subdivision, but it was his opinion that staff should re-examine the notification procedures. Marcel Eibensteiner, developer of the property, was present and stated he had a 10 year option agreement for this parcel and for the square footage for Lot 9. He noted that the property owners are not sure where they stand on this matter and if he can use his option, he could give the property back as an easement to the homeowners. He only needs the frontage for the lot width. Mr. Thomas Goserud, owner of the lot north of Lot 9, indicated he has no plans for future development of his lot, but he does not want it landlocked. Mr. Eibensteiner stated he would not favor an easement along the easterly edge of Lot 5, when Mr. Goserud could have access to the rear of his lot from Hamline Avenue. Acting City Attorney Jerry Filla asked if this project would be treated as a plat with hardshell copies? Mr. Eibensteiner indicated that was his
