Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 December 2, 1987 Roll Call, ayes: Johnson, Berry, Stokes, DeBenedet, Goedeke and Moeller. Nays: None. Capp stated for the record before he left the meeting, that it was his opinion that a number of Mr. Edwards' trees were actually on his lot. Planning File 1813 John S. Seltz request for division of lot at 210 and 220 Woodlynn Avenue. Presentation Dahlgren explained the location of the site that is basically 7.3 acres. This would be divided into two lots, which include high ground of approximately 1.2 and 1 acres respectively, of build- able land area. Dahlgren pointed out that the City would need a drainage easement and should have the proper land dedicated, with the proper cul-de-sac off Woodlynn Avenue. Dahlgren also pointed out that at the time this development moved forward, a shoreline variance would be required. He stated that the Planning Commission should recognize that by dividing these lots, the Planning Commission is recognizing the fact that the lots would be buildable. Mr. Seltz stated his concern with respect to the variances if he were able to divide the land and then not be able to obtain the shoreline variances. Stokes asked as to whether one of the parcels wouldn't be land- locked. Janisch pointed out how the minimum frontage on the street was established. Johnson asked where the home would be placed. Seltz stated roughly thirty feet back from the high water mark, which would. require a forty-five foot variance. Goedeke asked if the driveway to the rear would be taken out of the total building area. Seltz replied that it would. Berry asked Cushman as to whether the Council considered the shoreline setback limitations when it decided not to purchase this area for parkland. Cushman replied that the City did not wish to buy 'the parkland because it simply was not deemed in the best interest of the City, and was not the best land available. Goedeke stated that he was very surprised that the City did not purchase this for a park. Cushman again pointed out that it was carefully weighed and analyzed, and the City cannot purchase all parkland that, is requested.
