1. PROPOSED PRELINIINARY PLAT: P.S. ��69-08, MARION'S TERRACE, AOWARD CRABTREE:
Lot 8, Block 2, Riverwood Manor.
N� one was present representing the petition.
The Chairman explained this is a similar situation to the proposed Veit's
Addition, inas�xch as there is a sliver of a road of minimal size and com-
bined easement to make the entrance appropriate to the ordinance. The City
will not maintain this easement. All lots are in excess of the mini�m
requirements. Regarding utilities, Lots 1 and 2 are served from 71st Way.
Lots 4 and 5 �aould have single services piped to the easement and wyed off.
The utilities are in Riverwood Manor. Mr. Crabtree's house sets high above
the road, Lot 2 is probably the lotaest lot, and the back of that lot is not
more than six feet below the street. A walkout basement would fit in there
nicely. The property lines on the West go to the waters edge.
MOTION by Myhra, seconded by Crowder, that the Plats & Subdivisions-Streets
snd Utilities Subco�ittee approve the preliminary plat, P.S. ��69-08, Marion's
Terrace, by Howard Crabtree, of Lot 8, Block 2, Riverwood Manor and recommend
approval to the Planning Co�ission. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, except
Jensen who abstained, the motion carried.
2. VACATION OF HORIZON DRIVE EAST OF 3RD STREET BY CITY OF FRIDLEY: 5100 and 5101
Horizon Drive (Lot 2, Block 9 and Lot 7, Block 4, Carlson's Sum`nit Manor South
Addition.
The Engineering Assistant explained that, at the present time, parking for
the apartments, one on the north side of Horizon Drive and the other on the
south side of the street is in the boulevard area of 3rd Street making it
an illegal parking lot. It was suggested to the awner of the apartments that
he petition the City to vacate this street which would then make him a fee
owner. The parking lot would be between the two apartments and could be
divided in half. The City would keep the utility easement for the sanitary
sewer. The utility companies have not been contacted yet.
The petition.er had been contacted by phone and it was explained to him that
he was violating the ordinance and Council is going to start trying to get rid
of parking lots on the streets.
