Planning Offic'� Hours A ril 16 1986 � � p ► Page 6 li. Kaotoski, 483-9767 � Richard Kaotoski is a realtor, proposing to sell Mr. and Mrs. Jim Casey's land northeasterly of the intersection of Victoria and Roselawn. This total land area consists of about three and one-half acres, with a single family home and a garage (stable) with an apartment on the second floor. Mr. Casey has noted that this apartment has been rented for over thirty years. Mr. Kaotoski inquired as to whether or not the existing sewer system serving the rental unit could continue, even though the public sewer has now been extended to serve the two living units on t.he site. He was informed that both the single family home and the rental unit must be connected to the sewer within two years, in accordance with normal City policy. We discussed various ways in which the property could be further developed. Mr. Kaotoski indicated that the Casey's are considering selling the entire site, without dividing or developing the land themselves. 12. Johnson Richard Gray and Jim Johnson, from Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates, Inc., were in to discuss proposed changes to the Northwestern College Planned Unit Development proposal. The changes include moving the proposed new dormitory structure northwesterly, so as to be 150 feet from • the rear of the single family lots to the east side of the College property. The previous setback was 110 feet. The tennis courts were progosed to be 270 feet back, whereas they were 70 feet pr�viously. We suggested that the 270 foot setback is excessiv�, and will result in wasted land beteween the courts and the east property line. We suggested the courts might be relocated so as to be setback approximately 100 to 150 feet, and moving the pathway to the west of that, so the pathway would not provide a potential distrubance to the neighbors to the east. They agreed with these proposals, and will revise their plans accordingly. They also changed the entrance at the west end of the site so as to avoid the existing single family homes to the south of Lydia Avenue. We also suggested that there be a detailed lar�er scale landscaping plan prepared for the east end of the Campus where the property is contiguous to the single family homes. This is where the major areas of concern exist, and where specific details should be worked out to mitigate the impact on the single f amily homes. We alsa suggested that they meet with the single family homeowners to review these plans prior the next Public Hearing. It appears that the impact of oak, oak wilt disease, and cutting done by NSP under the power lines has reduced the � foliage signifcantly in this area.
