3. Proposed Plat P.S. #68-03, Southhampton 2nd Addition:
No one was present, therefor a motion by Nagel seconded by
Myhra to table this item until the next meeting was made and
passed unanimously.
4. Lot S lit re uest: L.S. #68-13, Orville Ratle : Lot 30,
Broo view A dition Except t at part for e icated street over
the South 20 feet and the West 120 feet).
Mr, Ratley was present and stated they intend to demolish
the existing structure and build two new single family homes
on the lot, He stated that they would like to split the 176
feet along 66th into equal frontages,
The Committee asked Mr. Ratley if he had considered
making the corner parcel larger to compensate for the extra
sideyard necessary for corner lots. Mr. Ratley stated that
he had not, but, can see where this would make the corner lot
more desirable as a building site.
MOTION by Albrecht seconded by Schmedeke to recommend
approval of lot split L.S. #68-13, with the interior lot to
be 82 feet and the corner lot to be the balance or approximately
94 feet, and that the petitioner would be required to supply
the City with the proper legal descriptions for the new parcels.
Upon a voice vote all voting aye, motion passed unanimously.
5. A visitor, Mr. Glenn M, Shaw, Land Agent for Great
Northern Railways, asked if he could present an industrial
park layout to the committee:
Chairman Jensen asked Mr. Shaw to �how his plan and explain
their proposal. The area involved is about 106 acres located
between Interstate Hwy. #694 and FMC Corp, on the East side of
East River Road.
The land will be divided by a Registered Land Survey with
the individual tracts ranging from .6 of an acre to 5 acres.
This will give the developer great flexibility in the sale of
the property. An example would be, if someone would want 40 acres
�
.� PLATS � SUBS. - STR. � UTIL. SUBCOMMITTEE Au ust 21, 1968 PAGE 3
they then would combine several small tracts to add up to the
40 acre tract. It was also noted that right-of-ways for streets
were also given lot numbers so that they could be deeded to
the City in stages, so if a firm did purchase a very large
tract, the streets may not be necessary, therefore, it could
be sold together with the large tract.
The first lot to be sold is Lot 1 to Plywood Minnesota
therefore, they are petitioning the City to install water,
sewer and street surfacing in Lot 8. The road will be built
38 feet wide with a curb on one side and the final 1 inch mat
left off. It will ultimately be built 40 feet wide with curbs
on both sides after which the final mat will be put on.
Access to East River Road was discussed. Mr. Shaw stated
that the most northerly access would be approximately 960 feet
South of the ramp to #694.
There are more railroad spurs shown than will be built,
the reason here again is flexibility in development, being all
to come from different directions or even possibly eliminate
some of the spurs if large tracts are developed. All street
right-of-ways will be 66 feet wide and all radii to be 50 feet
wide.
The committee expressed a desire to table this matter
until August 29 and at that time they would meet with Mr. Shaw
on the site to better aauaint themselves with the area.
MOTION by Myhra seconded by Nagel to table
until 7:30 P.M. on August 29, 1968 at the site.

Upon a voice
6. The next unscheduled item considered was a letter of
resignation from Mr. Vern Albrecht to become effective on
October 1, 1968. Mr. Albrecht will be moving away from the
City this fall. MOTION by Nagel seconded by Myhra to accept
the letter of resignation with regret and with an expression
of great thanks in having Mr. Albrecht as a member �or so
many years. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, motion
carried unanimously.
7. Mr. Thomas Marxen, a visitor and petitioner for Lot Split
#68-10, stated to the committee that he will be able to purchase
10 feet of Lot 4 which would give him a new total of 172 feet.
He then asked if any of the members would express their opinion
on 71 foot lots.
Chairman Jensen stated that he doubted that any member
want to make any statement along these lines until the item
placed officially on the agenda and that he should have a
preliminary plat drawn including the ten feet and submit it
Committee action. It was also suggested that he might see
