Nays: None, Planning File 941 ~ Thomas Short request for division of lot at 929 Transit Avenue Presentation Mr. Thomas Short indicated that he proposes to divide an existing lot into two lots. He stated that the size of the proposed two lots fits in with other existing lots in the neighborhood. Discussion Mr. Carl Anderson, 917 Transit, stated that both lots would be less than the minimum code requirement. He felt that if a home were constructed on thenorthern most lot there would be an invasion of his privacy. Mr. Art McCarthy, 939 Brooks, and Mr. Don Devens, resident on Brooks Avenue, both opposed the division. Mr. Allen Halvorson opposed the division because he felt the lots were too small compared to other lots in the area. Mr, V. Johnson stated that while he was sympathetic to the neighbors he saw two over- riding issues. (I) that because of an existing sewer easement which splits the lot, a home could not be constructed on the middle of the lot and would have to be built on one side or the other of the easement; (2) Central Park located to the north of the northern most proposed lot makes for a visually larger appearing area for that lot. Mr. Rukavina indicated that since the City is not prepared to buy the property for park purposes that it would be unfair to the owner to not pennit him to divide the Iota Recorronendation Jvtr. V. Johnson moved and Mro Rukavina seconded, that the Commission recommend approval of Thomas Short's request for division of lot at 929 Transit Avenue. Roll Call, Ayes: ~stel, Cushing, G. Johnson, V. Johnson, Rukavina and Grauel. Nays: None, Planning File 942 - Mid American Truck Lines request for variance to parking setback and division of lot at 1743 County Road C Presentation Mr. John Finley, representing Mid American Truck Lines, indicated that Mid American Truck proposes to sell the rear portion of their property on which is located a maintenance building. The property will be purchased by Brittany Truck Lines. Because the City Code requires that all lots must have access onto a public street, it is proposed that a street be dedicated on the eastern border of Mid-American property. The street will end in a cuI de sac on the property which Brittany is acquiring and, therefore, they will have access to a public street.
