PLATS & SUBDIVISIONS-
STREETS & UTILITIES SUBCONA�ITTEE MEETING JANUARY 24, 1973 PAGE 1
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Schmedeke at 7:00 P.M.
ROLL CALL:
Members Present: Schmedeke, Forster, French, Meissner, Engdahl
Members Absent: None
Others Present: Darrel Clark, Community Development Administrator
1. REQUEST FOR A LOT SPLIT: L.S. ��73-01, ROBERT SCHR.OER: To split
off the South 204 feet of the East 200 feet of Lot 3, B1ock 2,
East Ranch Estates 2nd Addition.
Chairman Schmedeke said the reason for this lot split was to build
a structure.
Mr. Darrel Clark said this lot is adjacent to the Capp Homes split
that we had about five months ago. This lot split, for a pancake house,
will be 40,800 square feet. The lot to the North will be 25,200 square
feet, so both resulting parcels are large enough to meet the present re-
quirements for commercial zoning. The easement will be used for parking
lots or boulevards.
Mr. Schmedeke said the lot to the North of this lot split seems quite
narrow, but if the owner is satisfied, that's his problem.
Mr. Schmedeke asked when the proposed street would go in. Mr. Clark
said they haven't brought in this plat for approval yet. This is a proposed
plat. Mr. Meissner asked why they hadn't brought in this plat when they're
starting to develop this area. Mr. Clark said they don't know what size
lots they want. They have already changed their minds, and they haven't
brought the plat in yet.
Mr. Meissner asked about the width of the proposed road. Mr. Clark
said it was 30 feet, but they know they will have to s�iden it to 40 or 50
feet.
Mr. Schmedeke ,asked if this went to Council on Mcandag night-(January 22).
Mr. Clark said it did, and Council approved it contingent upon approval here
and by the Planning Commission. They had to get all the approvals before
February lst because of mortgage commitments.
Mr. Clark said one thing they probably should do is they should grant
the rest of the property between the easement and the lot line as additional
easement for access to the sewer line. The easement is 17 feet from the
property line. Mr. French said this would end up being the Westerly 37 feet

for a utility easement.
MOTION by French, seconded by Engdahl, that the Plats & Subdivisions-
Streets & Utilities Subcommittee recommend to the Planning Commission,
approval of the request for a Lot Split, L.S: ��73-01, by Robert Schroer,
to split off the South 204 feet of the East 200 feet of Lot 3, Block 2,
East Ranch Estates 2nd Addition, subject to an additional 17 fe�t being
added to the original 20 foot easement to give the lot to the rear of
the property access to the sewer. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the
motion carried unanimously.
2. V�CATION RE�UEST: SAV �73-01, BRYANT-FRANKLIN CORPORATION: Vacate
drainage and utility easement on the Southerly 5 feet of Lots 13
through 16, Block 3, Rice Creek Terrace Plat 2.
Mr. Schmedeke said this request is contingent upon a rezoning request.
Mr. Darrel Clark said they are planning to add_on�to the Red Owl $�ore.
if it is properly zoned. He said he had talked to the power company and
the telephone company and they have no objection to the easement being
vacated if this was all one big development. If the rezoning i'sn't approved,
then the vacation shouldn't go through because they would need this easement
if it was developed residential. Also, the developer will have to provide
drainage, an equitable means of drainage to either street.
Mr. Meissner said the water tends to pond on th�ee of these lots now.
Mr. Clark said as long as they provide good drainage, the City has no
objections.
Mr. French said he would not care to have any access traffic going
out to 66th Avenue. Mr. Clark said the private drive going out to 66th
Avenue now was at the request of the City and not Red Owl.
Mr. Meissner said he didn't think the residents in the areas should
be assessed for storm sewer ehargea if the developer has tQ h�ve`storm sewers
for drainage.
MOTION by French, seconded by Meissner, that the Plats & Subdivisions -
Street & Utilities Subcommittee recommend approval to the Planning Commission
of the �acation Request, SAV �73-01, by Bryant-Franklin-Corporation, to
vacate drainage and utility easement on the Southerly 5 feet of Lots 13 through
16, Block 3, Rice Creek Terrace Plat 2, subject to proper rezoning, subject
to an adequate drainage plan implemented at their expense and denial of
traffic access to 66th Avenue. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the
motion carried unanimously.
3. REQUEST FOR A LOT SPLIT: L.S. �73-02, STATE LAND & DEVELOPMENT COMPANY,_
to split off the North 234 feet of Block 10, Hamilton's Addition.
Mr. Clark said we've looked at this once on a vacation of the alley and
the street. When the survey was completed, the lot line the fence is located
on does not follow the existing property line. He has to go through the

they were.
