Roseville Planning Commission Minutes October 2, 1985 Page 2 Planning File 1617 Laurence Koalska request for preliminary plat and side yard variance at 1844-1848 Merrill Street. Presentation Mr. Blais discussed the Koalska request, which basically requests a plat of two meets and bounds properties. Mr. Koalska is also requesting the formation of outlot A that will deal with an encroachment problem with the adjacent property. If approved, outlot A would place the garage within eight feet of the property line as opposed to ten. Mr. Cyptar, representing the applicant, explained that the proposal results from a plat that originally ran East to West that will now include the meets and bounds parcel in the East/West plat. Discussion DeBenedet asked who owned outlot A, and was the home separately owned. Cyptar stated that the house was separately owned, and outlot A is owned by Koalska. Wiski asked why the outlot simply couldn't go ten feet back all the way, thus negating the need for the variance. Cyptar pointed out that the outlot A pie shape was studied by the engineers, and deemed to be the best solution to the problem. DeBenedet asked why not plat outlot A as part of the total request. Matson stated that to him it appears the pie shape makes more sense rather than a major jog to avoid the variance request. Recommendation Matson moved, seconded by Johnson, approval of the preliminary plat and the variance as per plan of record. Roll Call, Ayes: Matson, Johnson, Mueller, Berry, DeBenedet, Dressler, and Wiski. Nays: None. Planning File 1618 Rosepointe Development's request for two variances to construct senior Citizen Housing at 2545 Hamline Avenue North. Presentation Mr. Blais discussed the site, and pointed out that the parcel was previously approved a number of years ago for multi-family dwellings. He also pointed out that the developers are purchasing the Forum Apartments, and will remodel that complex as part of their proposal.
