-2- Discussion Mr. Johnson asked what should be done concerning the platting vs metes and bounds. Mr. Dahlgren indicated that if the division is approved, it should be done in the final plat as a plat and not as metes and bounds. r1r. Rukavina asked if the applicant was aware that the development of the land would require that the garage on the east be taken down. The applicant indicated he was aware of this and that the garage would be taken down before development occurred. He indicated that his mother currently lived on the property and that no development would occur until she no longer lived there. The owners of the two properties immediately to the west of the subject parcel and the one property immediately to the south indicated concern over the swamp area that is on their property, as well as the applicant's property. They requested that the Commission give them assurance that there would be no filling done on the applicant's property which would in turn cause water to run into their area. Mr. Dahlgren indicated that, while absolute assurance could not be given, it was unlikely filling would occur there because the swamp land was designated by the DNR as a natural area. Additionally, filling of such proportions would require Council approval and, therefore, notification to residents in the area. Recommendation Mr. Rukavina moved and Mrs. Dressler seconded, that the Charles LeMay request for preliminary plat at 360 West County Road C be recommended for approval by the City Council with the following conditions: 1. That 10 feet of additional right-of-way be dedicated on County Road C 2. That the division occur as a plat rather than as metes and bounds parcels. Roll Call, Ayes: Cushing, Dressler, Mastel, Matson, Moeller, Rukavina and Johnson. Nays: None. Planning File 1320 - Rose Tree Apartments request for variance to floor area ratio, required parking, and ordinance permitting efficiency apartments at 655 5TH 36 Presentation Mr. Dahlgren indicated that the proposal is to add three efficiency units, one on each floor, to the existing Rose Tree apartment structure at the southwest corner of Cope Avenue. He indicated that this exact request was submitted to the City by the apartment owners in November of 1979, at which time the request was approved by the Planning Commission and Council. The owners did not proceed with the alterations at that time and the variances have since expired.
