Motion csrried unan- imous ly (4-0). REPORT OF VILLAGE ENGINEER DONALD CHRISTOFFERSEN Improvement No. 81-5, Royal Hills: A. Tschida Request re Road Location Council was referred to McNiesh's memo re Tschida's concern about the proposed Royal Lane 15 ft from their property line (about 25 ft from their garage); feels safety of their property was not given proper consideration; suggests that the road be moved to the east. In discussion of appropriate building setback, Miller noted that when the houses in this area were built, the corner side setback requirement was 20 ft (current requirement is 40 ft); Mr. Tschida said the house across Floral Drive from him (Hustings) is 45 ft from the road; feels 13 ft from his property line is too close; requested 45 ft from his garage to the street. It was noted that each 5 ft the road is moved to the east, it reduces the park area esst of the road by 10,OOOt sq. ft. (.2 acre). Hicks moved, seconded by Mulcahy, that Council approve a change order to move the road centerline 5 ft to the esst (about 33 ft from garage to curb line). In further discussion, Council asked for comments from the floor relative to taking .2 acres more of park land in order to provide the additional setback from the Tschida property. Wilma Kuhn said her original concern was to retain as much . park land as possible; still feels the same way. Monica Tuggle said she feels the road should be stopped in a cul-de-sac and a connection be made to Snelling instead. Tim Tuggle said the City may as well take the additional .2 acres; makes no difference. R. Hanson suggested the possibility of orienting the road at an angle, removing the rosd from the Tschida property. Wilma Kuhn asked if a vsriance is required if original plan is followed. It was explained that as long as the variance is recognized, it can be accepted by the Council. Miller -2-
