1. CONTINUED• LOT SPLIT REQUEST• L.S. ��'72-06, MRS. MARION JOHNSON: Lot l,
Block 2, Moore Lake Highlands. To gain one additional building site.
Present for the request: Mrs. Marion Johnson and Mr. Dennis Collins.
Mr. Clark referred to the letter he had written to Mr. Terrance Paulson
on July 26, 1972 giving him notice of the lot split. Mr. Paulson had not
answered.
Mr. Meissner said that he drove by the area and looked at the site. He would
like to say he was not exactly overly happy with the situation but that he feels
this is a good piece of land that is probably buildable. He thought his original
objection has since been cleared up. He was a little bit concerned by the fact
we wi11 still have a lot thaC will not meet the area requirement, but:_it still
comes closer than it has on some other requests.
Mr. French asked if Mr. Collins, who was interested in purchasing the lot,
had some idea of what he was going to build.
Mr. Clark said that he had discussed this with Mr. Collias. The driveway
would be about 25 feet wide. The car could be parked in front of the lot and
not heading out into the street.
Mr. Clark said that Mr. Collins would have to go to the Board of Appeals as
he would be encroaching on Mrs. Johnson's property with his rear yard. The new
house would be 35 feet back on the lot while Mr. Paulson's is 70 feet back from
Mississippi Street. He continued that the City would want a 12 foot sidewalk
easement in case Mississippi Street was widened. Sewer and water is in on Able
Street and no prob�em.

Utilities 5ubcommittee recommend approval to the Planning Commission of the Lot
Sp1it Request, L.S. #72-06, by Mrs. Marion Johnson for Lot 1, Block 2, Moore Lake

Mr. Clark said that there may be some additional assessments if and when the
lot split is recorded and built on.
2. LOT SPLIT BEQUEST• L S �72-07, BY JOHN KOPROWSKI: Lot 13, A.uditor's Sub-
division No. 23. Three building sites. (6470 Riverview Terrace).
Mr. Koprowski was not on the agenda but had hoped to get some direction from
the Subcommittee on his lot split.
Mr. Clark explained that this �ot had been owned by Paul Segner. The lot
runs up to the Mis�issippi River. The recent lot split for Mr. Metcalfe, which
is in this same area, and �his lot differ in one respect. The Metcalfe house is
situated much the same, but the existing house on this man's property could not
get to the sewer by gravity. He would have to have a pump. The property is zoned
multiple.
The house is a small structure and the �arage is near the river. The lot
would be split in about thirds. The area towards the river would be 113 feet
wide,.the next �ot 120 feet wic�e and the third 1ot would be east of Riverview
Terrace. Mr. Koprowski wi11 have to ma&.e some kind of arrangement to get out
to Riverview Terrace as there is no �treet from his house.
Mr. Koprowski said he was thinki,ng of building a fourplex.�ecause he did not
have the correct figures for the 1an� area, it was suggested he consult with the
Engineering Department.
The item was tabled until the Subcom�mittee hears from the petitioner.

MOTION by Meissner, seconded by French, that the Plats & Subdivisions-Streets &
Utilities Subcommittee adjourn the meeting at 7:50 P.M. Upon a voice vote, a11
