Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) <br /> CASE #87-29; DIV. Council was referred to Planner's report of August 26, <br /> LOT 2, BLOCK 1, and Planning Commission minutes of 9/2/87, relative to <br /> NORTHWOODS, OPUS division of Lot 2, Block 1, of Northwoods. <br /> Miller explained that Northwoods plat was approved in 1985 by the City and <br /> reviewed the proposed development presented at that time. He advised that one <br /> of the buildings proposed has not been constructed at this time, apparently due <br /> to market conditions, and an insurance company has offered to purchase a <br /> portion of Lot 2 for construction of a claims service center. The applicant is <br /> requesting approval of the lot division in order to accommodate the insurance <br /> claims center; Miller noted that a claims service center is a permitted use in <br /> the I-2 District and two such centers already exist in the City. <br /> The Planner stated that Opus Corporation has submitted two alternative revised <br /> master development plans; Plan A indicates.the attachment of the remainder of <br /> the original lot to the adjacent lot to the northwest, and Plan B uses the <br /> north lot for a day care center. . <br /> Robert Worthington, representing Opus Corporation, was present to answer <br /> Council questions. <br /> There was discussion relative the two plans outlined by Miller. <br /> Peck moved, seconded by Winiecki, that Council approve <br /> Case #87-29, Division of Lot 2, Block 1, Northwoods, Opus Corporation, as <br /> submitted. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) <br /> EDGEWATER ESTATES; Planner Miller advised Council that the owner of the <br /> STATUS OF EASEMENT Edgewater Estates development has been attempting to <br /> receive a release of the easement on two single family <br /> lots, to make them more buildable, from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department. <br /> Miller was advised today that U.S. Fish and Wildlife has requested a land <br /> trade; U.S. Fish and Wildlife would convey to Edgewater Estates the remainder <br /> of the easement on the single family lots if McGuire would transfer ownership <br /> of the large open space area designated in the PUD development, He advised that <br /> this was initially brought to his attention in March of this year and his <br /> initial reaction was that there should not be a problem with the land transfer <br /> if certain restrictions were imposed at the time of transfer: <br /> - The large open space area would remain as permanent open space. <br /> - Recognition that the open space area was used for density calculations <br /> for the Edgewater Estates plat would be noted on the transfer. <br /> - The open space land would not be used for public access to the lake; . <br /> U. S. Fish and Wildlife has indicated that they would use the land for <br /> access to the dam. <br /> - If an improved road for access to the dam were constructed, it would be <br /> placed in such a manner so as not to encroach on the privacy of adjacent <br /> residents. <br /> Miller explained that Council may choose to consider this proposal carefully <br /> before expressing their concerns to McGuire's attorney. He displayed a diagram <br /> of the area to familiarize Council with the proposal. <br /> Miller commented that Council consider referring this matter to the Attorney <br /> for his comments relative to imposing the above restrictions on a Federal <br /> agency; on privately owned property this can be accomplished with deed <br /> restrictions and can be enforced by Court injunction. Miller was unsure if such <br /> deed restrictions would apply to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Agency, since the . <br /> City does not have jurisdiction on Federal land. <br />
