Motion by CoUncilmember Kurak, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to table action and direct staff to make changes to the ordinance based on the discussion. Further discussion: City Attomey Goodrich noted that he would review Mr. Menard's application to review what is pending and provide a recommendation on the $400. Councilmemb~ Elvig stated that there are a lot of people that have large lots in the City that have to hold on to the property until development moves further north. That is the problem with an emerging co~nmunity. The ordinance is to allow people to'use their property, but they need to have a strong hold on the situation. Mr. Menard does not have a unique situation in this community. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, and Councilmembers Kurak, Elvig, Cook, Pearson, Strommen, and:Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #5: Request for Final Plat Approval of Valvista Estates; Case of Eugene Valerio Community Development Director Frolik explained that Eugene Valerio is requesting final plat approval to create two new lots from his existing 9.67-acre parcel located at 16514 Jaspar Street NW. Mr. Valerio owns a 1.9-acre parcel, where his single family home is located, and a 7.77- acre parcel loOated immediately adjacent to his homestead (for a total of 9.67 acres). The applicant is prOposing to create two 2.5-acre parcels and maintain his existing single family home on a 4.67-acre parcel. The property is located within the Rural Developing Area and, therefore, subj~t to a 2.5-acre lot minimum, all lots meet or exceed this requirement. All three lots meet or exe~eed the 200 feet of frontage on a public road requirement. The newly created lots will gain access from 166'h Avenue and the existing single family home will continue to gain public access ~om Jaspar Street. The City Engineer has reviewed the soils map in this area and has determine& that there is sufficient Class I soils to support a primary and alternate septic system. The Planning Commission reviewed the sketch Plan at their November 6, 2003 meeting, approved it and recommended that the developer proceed to final plat.
