, �J�VIG �l �eGN �rJv� ��.1 � 1 �� 2_.Dl�i 1861 Gluek Lane, Roseville, MN minor subdivision C� �� n'�'n �� Planning File: 16-016 � � fi� � July 18, 2016 Written by: Arlene J.Mencke, PhD Dear Council Members Thanks for your time and your consideration of my request for a minor lot subdivision at last week's meeting. I would like to move for removal of item 8b from the consent agenda to allow for discussion, additional input and a new vote to change the decision of the council. I would further like to move, in accordance to Rosenberg's Rules of Order, that one of the Council Members in the majority of this vote enter a motion to reconsider based on the following response to the "facts" that formed this denial of this request for subdivision. In accordance with the options provided to the Council, there was a unanimous vote to deny this subdivision at the July 11th meeting. The denial was supported by "the following "factual findino�': "The marginal runoff from the residential development intended for the subdivided parcel im ght be injurious to other homes in the surrounding neighborhood." I would like to address the facts: ** No plan for developing the 1861 lot have been submitted which would form a basis for the Councit to make a decision based on fact. At the July 11 th City Council meeting: **Photographs from 1885 Gtuek Lane were shown that were taken after a"storm of the century" which downed at least 19 trees on 1861 and the easement and resulted in the loss of electricity for several days. We have lived at 1861 for 23 years and have experienced only one such storm. **Photographs from 1885 Gluek Lane were shown which showed flooding between 1885 and 1861. Indeed that flooding was primarily in the easement owned by the city. The fence at 1885 extends 15 feet into the 20 feet of the easement and so is misleading about the flooding on the 1885 property.
