A <br />variance to non-riparian lot size was granted earlier this evening by the Board of Adjustment. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer stated for the record that he owns property adjacent to this parcel. <br /> <br />Tom Kurak, 15001 Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. - inquired about the proposed trail. <br /> <br />Ms. Frolik outlined the proposal for the trail. <br /> <br />Mr. Kurak stated he lives on a private lake (Sunfish Lake). He declared that if the City puts a trail <br />back there, the lake is no longer private, and he feels this is a transgression against the current <br />homeowners on the lake to do such. He felt that a trail would be an eyesore. He reiterated that the <br />City would be taking away from the neighbors who live on a private lake. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer inquired whether Mr. Kurak attended the Park and Recreation Commission <br />meeting on this plat. <br /> <br />Mr. Kurak stated that he had, and he added that they never discussed doing this. Mr. Kurak <br />asserted that he would like the trail easement omitted from the preliminary plat. <br /> <br />Patty Kurak, 15001 Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. - stated she fully agreed with her husband. <br />She questioned whjat the point was for the path or trail. "Where do people go when they get there? <br />What's the point of leading it to nothing?" <br /> <br />Public Hearing/Planning Commission/March 4, 1996 <br /> Page i of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
