ORDEft. OF AGENDA :
It was noted that tlie person who would represent Item 1 had not
arrived, so that the Commission revexsed the order, taking Item 2 first.
1. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. #68-08, ING T. SIVERTS.� JR.: Part of I,ot 1, Revised
Auditor's Subdivision #10.
Mr. Siverts was present, and he passed revised drawings to the
members of the Commission. In describin� the easement which the State of
Minnesota has in order to reach the dam site, Mr. Siverts said that you start
at County Road H at the 66 foot s�;rip (Parcel F� and follow it due South on
the same line to the dam site.
As it stands, the City would not be able to use the easement if the
State should give it upe Mr. �rickson asked Mr. Siverts if he had any objections
to giving the City an easement over the same right of way that the State has.
Mr. Sivexts thought it would be up �to the State and, as far as he kriew, th,ey
hadn.'t been to the dam site for seven years.
�' Mr. Siverts explained that the reason for Parcel F being where it is is
; because it is the only access for the parcel of land to the East of it. He
thought i;hat would take care of the access to the Creek dam, and the Fontaine
land to the South.
The Chairman asked Mr. Siverts if he would �e willing to give the City
access over the easement for the period of its duration. l�. Siverts answered
"Yes."
Mr. Je.nsen commented that in the matter of streets and utilities
easement, they cannot be included in a Registered Land Survey, but it can bc
�dedica-ted by written document. He wo.ndered if there should be some consideration
getting power in and providing for utilities.
Mx. Siverts said that Parcel E would be the only lot that may be open
for consideration as far as possibl2 sewer. When a request would come in for a
building permit on Lot E, they might ask to have it without City sewer.
Mr. Siverts said the power lines come in on Lot E from Ce.ntral Avenue
to the East. The Gas Company services through a new underground li.ne from Central
Avenue. The telephone lines are underground.
MOTION by Erickson, seconded by Jensen, that the Planning Commission

� development of the land and I want to take this opportunity to thank him personally
fox spending this extra �ime o.n his part, and th�n:� him for his work in this split.
It is much appreciated.

Mr. John Dunphy, 155 Stonybrook Way: Is there any possibility the
developer would co.nsider a border landscaping which�would reduce the impact of
the commercial property on the houses on the other side of the road; and would
baffle noises comi.ng from this area.

LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L,S. #68-10, THOMAS Ea MA.RXEN;
feet of Lot 5, Auditor's Subdivision #108.
South 138 feet of North 306
Chairman Jensen reviewed the discussion of the Plats & Subdivisions-
Stxeets & Utilities Subcommittee. The lot split was previously granted to the
ori.gi.r_al owner and he did provide a East�West street right of way through the
center of the property, and then was allowed to split it in.to two parts. The
petitioner has purchased the North half, the line between the n.ew road and
Onondaga and the North Half (N2� of the South part and he is now requesting
splitting these divisions again to six separate parcels. It was the feeling
of the Subcommittee that a lot split of this sort would not be in keeping with
the intent of the Ordinance and.that a plat would be recommended. The second
portion of the discussion was relative to the dimensions of the lots i.ndicated
by the petitioner and this subject has previously been discussed a couple of
years back and denied on the basis of substandard lot width ancl this is the
basic reaso.n for trie motion by the Subcommittee to deny this request.
The En.gineering Assistant said the South Quar_ter (S4� has reen split
off and the street is dedicated. Right now the dedication is f'zom Lots 5 and 6.
The Commz.ssion felt these should be standard lots as long as thexe is
the possibility of doing so. �
Mr. Jensen said he believed the �ngineering D�partment could help Mr.
Marxen.
MOTION by'EricYso.n, seconded by Myhra, that the Planning Commission.
concur with the recommendation of the Subcommittee for the lot split request,
L.S. #68-10, Thomas E. Max•xen of trie South 138 feet of the North 306 feet of
Lot 5, Auditor's Subclivision #108 and recommend denial. IIpon a voice vote, all
voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
M'r. Jense.n explained the method of division Mr. Marxen wishes is not
in keeping with the Ordinance providing for lot splits, and that he would have
to replo't ttiis. land . �

The En.gineering Assistant explained that the Subcommittee wanted

He had talked with Mr. DeGard.ner who said if at all possible, he would purchase
Lot 26. .

an effort to elimina�l;e it from being an isolated lot of which there would be no
maintenance if so isolated. -
