IIPON A VOICB VOTB, ALL VOTINa AYE, CBAIRPERSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIHLIC HEARIN(� OPEN AT 7:33 P.M.
Mr. Hickok stated the request is to subdivide the property of
Claudia and Michael Geis at 520 Dover Street N.E. The property
is located west of East River Road. The plan looks different on
paper than in the field. While this is a beautiful site, the
streets do not match up. The site has interesting topography and
site conditions.
Mr. Hickok stated the request is to allow a subdivision of the
land to sell a 25 foot x 126 foot lot to the Lindstroms, a
property owner to the northwest of the subject parcel, and to
sell a 50 foot x 109.26 foot lot to the Haldorsons, owner of the
property to the northeast.
Mr. Hickok stated, as part of the subdivision process, this must
be approved by the Planning Commission and City Council before
the County will allow a subdivision such as this to be recorded.
Staff has reviewed the request and recommends approval with the
following stipulations:
l. The petitioner shall stipulate in the conditions of sale
^, that the adjacent neighbors, the Haldorsons and the
Lindstroms, combine the split parcels with their parcels to
create single tax records. .
Mr. Hickok stated the City is concerned about substandard
residential lots. Staff would not be interested in supporting
the subdivision if it would be creating a substandard lot. The
idea is to create a larger lot by combining the tax parcels.
2. A private easement allowing maintenance, repair or
replacement of the utility services shall be executed and
recorded against Lot 33, Block L, Riverview Heights.
Mr. Hickok stated the parcel being sold to the Haldorsons would
require a utility easement because the utilities for the Geis
home comes across Lot 33. He understands the Haldorsons are in
agreement with this stipulation.
Mr. Kondrick asked the petitioner if he understood the
stipulations and if the petitioner agreed with the stipulations.
Mr. Geis stated he agreed and understood the stipulations. He
has talked to the neighbors and had them sign a document about
combining the lots.
� Mr. Kondrick asked if the petitioner had those documents.
' Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner did submit documents stating the
�„� PLANNINa COMMI88ION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 6. 1995 PAGE 3
i \
neighbors are interested in the subdivision and would comply with
the conditions.
Mr. Oquist asked what would happen to the Lot Split if the
property is not sold.
Mr. Hickok stated it is staff's intent by putting the stipulation
on the condition of sale that it be combined with the lots to the
north. We needed the full cooperation of the neighbors before
the City would agree to the split. If the neighbors do not buy,
staff would not agree.
Mr. Geis stated he and the neighbors are all in agreement.
MOTIOAI by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the
public hearing.

THE MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIIBLY.
Mr. Hickok stated the City Council would consider this request on
October 2, 1995.
2. WATER CONSERVATION AND EMERGENCY PLAN
Mr. Hickok stated the Commission has,before them the revised
draft of the Water Conservation and Emergency Plan. The action
requested is to consider setting a public hearing for October 4.
The law requires that, as of January 1, 1996, we are to have a
water conservation emergency plan in place. In an effort to meet
that deadline, we started early this year to accomplish this. A
consultant did a draft which was completed in March. This draft
was presented to the Planning Commission and Environmental
Quality and Energy (EQE) Commission members in April. In the
staff summary, he has attempted to outline the comments and
responses to those comments. In many cases, the document refers
to the emergency conditions ordinance. This is an ordinance
staff would like to have before the Commission as a draft before
the public hearing.
Mr. Hickok stated staff is asking the Commission to establish a
public hearing for October 4. Staff will also ask the EQE to
have this on their agenda for September 26. The City Council
would give preliminary approval to submit the plan to the
Metropolitan Council on October 23.
Mr. Hickok stated he was asked to provide to members only the
changes. He has submitted the entire plan because there were
format changes. Between now and the public hearing, staff will
meet with the internal committee to determine the implementation
dates. He is confident that staff will have this completed for
the October 4 agenda. There is also a map that is in the plan
that the GIS staff will work to refine. There are also internal
staff comments which will be included as well. These additions
will be underlined in the new text.
Mr. Sielaff asked if inembers would be sent another draft or will
members comment based on what they have received thus far.
Mr. Hickok stated members would comment on the draft received and
staff will bring underlined changes for the public hearing. This
� is the most recent draft based on the comments.
