Ms. Berry asked Mr. Drown if it was reasonable for the Hurias' to plat the area, but let them keep the land use the way it is now. Mr. Drown stated that that was reasonable. DeBenedet asked Mr. Drown if the split lot was approved, would problems exist with respect to the title. Mr. Drown replied that the potential certainly does exist and that the survey doesn't agree with the County Record. Mr. Matson suggested that Mr. Hurias should go back to the surveyor and subsequently discuss platting with the City. Thus, this item should be carried over to a future meeting. Mr. Wiski wondered whether the taxes in the area would be less if it was platted. Mr. Drown replied that that was basically unknown and it couldn't be answered at this point in time. Mr. Wiski stated that the lines in this area must be cleared up and that it would be in the best interests of Hurias to discuss platting with the City. Mr. Thompson, 2521 Snelling Curve, asked whether the pond would always be there. Mr. Drown replied that the need fo~ the-pond is there, it is simply the size that is unknown right now. Recommendation Berry moved, seconded by Dressler to deny the Hurias request for division of lot east of Snelling Avenue service road and encourage the Hurias' to work with the Clty to clarify the lot lines that would eventually facilitate the street, sewer, water, and address the ponding concerns. Mr. DeBenedet stated that he agree with the motion that platting should be done to solve the problem. Mr. Wiski stated that the land use in the area is not an issue. It is a matter of how the lots are laid out and thus the motion is simply to organize the area and preclude future problems. Roll Call, Ayes: Dressler, Matson, Berry, DeBenedet, and Wiski. Nays: None Planning File 1602 - Richard Paulsen requests for rezoning R1 to R2 to construct a duplex. Presentation Mr. Dahlgren discussed the request which basically entailed the rezoning from R1 to R2 to allow Mr. Paulsen to construct a duplex south of Transit Avenue opposite Marion Street. Mr. Dahlgren indicated that at one time this property could have automatically .pa qualified as a duplex, in that it was contiguous to commercial property. Discussion Irma Ryan, 220 Transit, said that the duplexes in the area looked like low- rent houses. She is also concerned about the location of her house with respect to Mr. Paulsen's proposed duplex and she is concerned about her privacy.
