ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION.' Page# 4 Wednesday, March 1, 1989 Bill Zerfas, 3006 Victoria, testified that the openness of the area is the attraction and that three homes where two should be is a problem. Zerfas stated that the Commission should reject the proposal. Johnson closed the public hearing. Johnson stated that in her opinion this was an unreasonable request which would be deleterious to the character of the neighborhood. Johnson added that she would support a 75 foot lot and a 125 foot lot but that a 60 foot was too small. Berry stated she had great difficulty in approving this without a survey. Berry added. that she had no problem with the small size lot, that it providf.s a variety of housing in the community. DeBenedet testified that he also had the concern that they were only presented with a sketch plan and that a survey should be required. DeBenedet stated that he would rather see an 85 foot lot and setback variances granted. Stokes said that he sees nothing wrong with the proposal, that it would provide increased taxes to the City. Stokes added that the City can't control tree cutting and that the proposed homes were designed well and wouldn't detract from the homes and value of the area. Moeller stated that there has been no accurate survey presented to allow the Commission to determine what is actually being proposed. Stokes testified that the Commission owes it to the petitioner to act on the proposal and that he was concerned that if a survey was required and the proposal was ultimately voted down that the petitioner would needlessly have expended money for a survey. Dahlgren stated that staff had realized that there was no 'survey provided but thought the Planning Commission could decide if the division was appropriate and then require a survey before the Council acted on the proposal. Apman stated that one property line was not accurate. Goedeke stated that'he was not comfortable acting without a survey. Goedeke added that he would be more comfortable with a 75 foot lot and a 125 foot lot but that three homes is too many for the site.
