March 13, 1989 Council Minutes, Page Two ~ intent. Filla described the differences between platting, a registered land survey, and metes and bounds. He suggested that if the developer was going to pursue this as a plat. a public hearing should be held, as indicated by Councilmember Mahowald. Mr. Eibensteiner stated he could file the plat without the triangular piece of property from Lot 9 and that he would have no problem if the homeowners did not want to sell it. Councilmember Hansen said she would have a hard time considering the back portion of Mr. Goserud's property as a lot and she would not be in favor of considering it as a separate lot, since it does not have street frontage. She noted she would like to see Mr. Eibensteiner plat the property without taking the triangular piece of land from Lot 9 if possible. . Councilmember Mahowald moved to recommend approval of the minor subdivision of Karth Lake South Second addition with the following conditions: 1. No variances be allowed and the plat be modified to conform with Ordinance requirements. 2. The front yard setback for Lot 1 be established at 60 feet, rather than 40 feet. 3. Approval by the City Engineer of utility easements, site grading and drainage easement in respect to the surface drainage from the rear of Lots 3, 4 and 5. 4. The park dedication requirement for two lots be fulfilled along with issuance of building permits. ~ 5. The triangular portion of Lot 9 attempt to be resolved by staff to meet Ordinance requirements. Councilmember Malone seconded the motion. (5-0). Motion carried. Mr. Thomas Goserud asked that the Council go back to look at the original plat. He felt that for the Council to say the rear portion of his property is not a lot is not appropriate. Mayor Sather reminded Mr. Goserud that there is no street access and that is one of the requirements of a City lot. CELLULAR ONE Planner Bergly reviewed the landscape plans for Cellular LANDSCAPE PLANS One, who is requesting approval to install an antennae on the City's water tower. As noted in his report dated March 13, Cellular One will require an easement to enter the site from the east, which would be across a 42 foot wide strip of land owned by Control Data. The applicant will also need easements across Control Data's parking lot drives to the south and east. He noted the only City street ~ access to the water tower site is on Fernwood from the south, abutting the west property line and extending for a 33 foot half street along the westerly property line. The building is proposed to be 12'x28' and 11 feet high, of pre-cast concrete panels with a washed rock finish, surrounded by a six foot high chain link fence. Cellular One proposes to plant six foot tall evergreens as a screen. Bergly recommended a double row of evergreens and noted that the six foot tall plantings won't effectively screen the building for a number of years. Mr. Bryan Rogers, representative from Cellular One, was present, and noted that the lease agreement could address the trees. Councilmember Malone indicated that the building should be screened right from the start. Councilmember Mahowald noted that he asked Mr. Rogers to consider planting 11 foot tall trees to screen the building. After further discussion, it was Council concensus to direct Acting City Attorney Filla to prepare a lease agreement with Cellular One after Control Data grants Cellular One an access easement. Councilmember Hansen moved to approve the site plan as outlined, subject to planting larger diameter trees of at least 10 feet on the north boundary to provide effective screening of the building from adjacent residential properties, and subject to access being obtained from Control Data. Councilmember Mahowald seconded the motion. (5-0). Motion carried. ~
