Represented by Maynard Sieve of Appolo Realty. Mr. Clarence Fo�se and Mr. Maynard Sieve were present. The Engineering Assiatant was asked to review the comments of the Plats & Subdivisions-Streets & Utilities S�bcommittee which met earlier in the evening. Se said that aome of the things considered were the fact that the lot ie 140'x150', and if aplit down. the middle, would make two lots 70 feet wide instead of i5' as required in the CoBe. The existing house would be about 7�' from the new lot line and there were no doors,.porch or patio on that side. The landlocked property to the North of Mr. Fosse's property is owned by the LeBeau Legion Poet ��303 in addition to their owning Lot 19, and does not present a problem bec�use the three parcels are under one ownership. The Subcommittee mentioned in their motion that they would prefer the lot being sp11t into two equal parta. Mr. Foss coao�ented that he had no plans to build another home now and � hoped to sell both lots. Plannin� Commiasion Meetin� - April 8, 1970 p8�e 2 The Comnni.saion discussed whether or-not the variance should go to � Couacil and then back to the Board of Appeals or visa versa. Darrel Clark said the Citq Attorney felt the proper method would be for the Subco�ittee and the Planning Commission to make a recoa�endation to the Council, calling their attention to the fact that the lot sizes did not meet the City Code by 5 feet. According to the Code, Council could act on the variance and lot split at one time, or they may send it to the Board of Appeals. • Another question was whether or not the variance should be considered before going to the Planning Co�ission. The Engineering Assistant explained that the lot split was.the larger deciaion and the variance the smaller of the two. The motion could include the stipulation that the lot split be granted contingent upon a variance being granted. The petitioner was asked to have a certificate of survey prepared ahowing the dimensiona of the house and its location. There were no problems connected with the utilities. Mr. Fitzpatrick said that the petitioner is asking for a lot split, but aince a variance would be created, the Board of Appeals shoul,d be asked then to hold hearings for a variance. Mr. Sieve stated again that they would go along with whatever the Planning Commission and Council aequested as the proper way to split. . 1�IOTION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Schmedeke, that the recoaur�ndation of the Planning Co�r¢nission is to approve Lot Split Request, L.S. #70-03, con- tingent upon a surveg showing the existing building to be at least 7'1/2 feet �^°� from the West lot line. We further recommend that the variance be granted directZy by the �'ouncil if, in the opinion of the City Attorney, there is no question of proper notice and pub.Zic hearinq. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. 2. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. ��70-04, GIL-MOR, INC. (SHELDON MORTENSON : Lot 5, Auditor's Subdivision ,��153 (split off parcel at Southwest comer - 185x225). Sheldon Mortenson was present. The Engineering Assistant explained that the requirement of a commer- cial lot is to have 200 feet of front footage along the road. Mr. Mortenson has 185 feet. Normally, the front of the lot is the direction the house or building would face. The Plats & Subdivisions-Streets & Utilities Subcommittee recommended approval of the lot split. Mr. Mortenson said the buyers have given him two plana, oae showing the house facing 52nd Avenue and the other facing flighway �65 with one of the plans showing an entrance on both sides. It was noted�that water run on 52nd Avenue. Mr. Mortensaid the 50 foot drive easement was so that no one could build within 50 feet of their property. In the agreement with Twin City Federal, reciprocal parking was included. The Commission decided the legal description was fairlq easy to follow and would meet the ordinance. They felt the plans for this lot split would be an asset to the co�unity. � Plaanin� Coa�iseion Meetine - Anril 8, 1.970 Pa�e 3 MOTION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Minish, that the Plana3ng Commission � secommend approval of Lot 5plit Request, L.S. #70-04, Gil-Mor, Inc., Sheldon Mortenson for Lot 5, Auditor's Subdivision M153 according to the certificate of surveg presented at the Planning Co�►.ission meeting of April 8, 1970 drawn by N.
