Mr. L+Wans was present aud stated the request was for a lot eplit on Lot 17.
The Vice Chairman (also Chairmaa of the Building Standarda-De�iga Control
Subco�ittee) reviewing the action of the Subco�ittee said they had reca�qeaded
approval of the •tructure to be placed on the property. Lot 15 is additionAl
park�ag for MacDonald's. The item of real concern is the balance of Lot 17
�lhich would be unbuildable becauee of the easement for sto� aad eanitary sewte�
va the North aad this includes a vacated walkway of 20 feet and a 10 foot
utility ea��ment making a 30 foot utility easement.

unanimously.
The Planning Con�iasion wiahed to call to the attention of the Couacil aad
Petitioner that the remaining portion of Lot 17 is too narraw to be u�ed by

� to the North, and therefore suggests that it can be used for additional parking
asea.

would be kept by the City for utilitiea ae there are certain requiremeata for
mainteaauce. etc. The area could be used for parking or landscapiag. but a
structure could aot be built on the utility eaeement.

Power Compa�r and the Minaeapolie Gas Company had writt� letters etating they
�ad ao objections to the vacation.

to the We�t. trunk highway to the East aad residential to the Nor�lx. �xe We��
Sarvice road of T.S. �47 had been abandoned from 57� Aveuue South. Receatly
these had b�ea some pressure to extend 3rd Street. Tiiere are �ltipl� al�r�llin,�e

The area North of Holiday has already been rezoned. Also, in 1967 there wa� a
vacation of 57� Avenue between 3rd Street and 2� Street.
Mr. Sch�edeke was asked to point out the existing structures on the map�

Ttaere was a strip of laad along Univereity Ave�x� whf,ch wa� fo��ly ca�r-
