I ~ I I Council Meeting Minutes February 9, 1988 4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Benke noted that council received a letter dated today from appli- cant requesting a continuation of the public hearing to the next regular meeting. In response to Gunderman's question, Locke indicated the problem is basically the cost factor relative to the park dedication and staff is clarifying how it would or would not apply to the lots in question. Locke further explained that the city advises anyone seeking in- formation about or requesting an application for a minor subdivi- sion that the park dedication fee is one of the elements of the process; however, when Schmalzbauer initially talked to staff about this particular subdivision, the park dedication ordinance was not in effect. In response to Benke's concern regarding the difference in lot sizes, Locke stated the minimum 40 foot wide lot is proposed for the existing home and is consistent with other lots on the block; Locke further indicated the city's intent for the wider proposed lots (61 and 59 feet) is to have the new lots as close to the standard 75 foot lot as possible in order to build more modern- type homes. Benke suggested uniformity of the three lots may be better; Locke stated he would look into it before it is acted upon. Benke asked that the next staff report reflect a report on the park dedication matter. In response to Gunderman's concern about poor soils, Locke advised that the city does not request a soil test as part of a lot split process, but it is required as part of the building design pro- cess. Locke also explained the building official's comments (on page two of the staff report) are based on known soil conditions in the neighborhood. As there was no one present to address the issue, Brandt moved, seconded by Larson, to CONTINUE THE REQUEST FOR MINOR SUBDIVISION TO FEBRUARY 23~ 1988. 4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Benke noted council has been requested by the petitioner to con- tinue the public hearing. As there was no one present to address the issue, Benke moved, seconded Gunderman, to CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR PL-171 UNTIL ACTION IS TAKEN BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON THE PETITION TO VA- CATE A PORTION OF THE 15TH STREET N.W.
