Streets & Utilities Subcommittee Meetin�- January 20, 1971 _
Chairman Schmedeke commented that a 30 foot easement has been given by
the two lots on the South half of Lot 35, which adjoins Mr. La Beaux's property
on the East, and asked if he were prepared to give the same. Mr. La Beaux said
he was. Chairman Schmedeke also stated that the City has acquired Lots 40, 41
and 42 which are South of Lot 34, for park purposes and there is a possibility
the City will want an access in that area.
The Engineering Assistant said there is the possibility there might be
five building sites, at least they have the area, and access will be needed
from Stinson Boulevard. He added that situations, such as this lot split re-
quest, have come up before. When the improvements were put in, the cost of
street, sewer and water was compiled, the assessments were too costly. The
owners would let the lots go tax forfeit. In this instance, should that happen,
the City would not be adverse to acquiring the lots because they are adjacent
to a park.
The lot to the West (the West half of Lot 34) drops off quite severely
at the West property line and is swampy• It would require a lot of fill.
The Park Department has not had the land long enough to develop a plan for it.
It is possible the City would want access on Lot 42. The park land includes
Lots 40, 41, 42, 45, 46, 47, 48, 50, 51 and 52, and about:half were given by
Vieweon, Inc. and- the ather half, �tax.,foxfeit..
Going back to Lot 34, the square footage for the South half was approxi-
mately 10,988 square feet.
Mr. Crowder asked if the split were granted, could the S� be built upon.
Darrel Clark replied that the lot could be red tagged until water, sewer and
a street would go in. Mr. La Beaux said he understood that he couldn't build
until the street was in. Darrel Clark said water and sewer were on Stinson
Boulevard. It was noted the whole area is zoned R-1. The description of the
proposed lot would be simple: the S� of the E�, except the South 30 feet, of
Lot 34, Auditor's Subdivision No. 92.
MOTION by Meissner, seconded by Pierce, that the Plats & 5ubdivisions-
Streets & Utilities Subcommittee recommend approval to the Planning Commission
of the Lot Split Request, L.S. #71-01, by Charles R. La Beaux, to split off
the S� of the E1� of Lot 34, Auditor's Subdivision No. 92, subjec� to-a 30 foot
street°easerr3ent off the South;.:and that.�e�lot be red tagged until such time
it can be serviced by sewer, water and street. Upon a voice vote� a11 voting
aye, the motion carried unanimously.
