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 He noted unresolved issues caused the application to be withdrawn.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