Regular Meeting February 13, 1978 Page Four 7. Leland and Vicky Stull (Stull Addition) Stull Addition was approved by the township board in 1974. Registration of final plat is called for within 120 days for approval. The Stulls are asking for reconsiderations on the addition by the City Council. Carl Anderson of Hawkinson Anderson Assoc. was present and presented to the Council the Stull's plan for the addition. Mr. Nereson said the plat is null and void so it now is a question of if this is a reasonable use of the land. Vicky Stull was present and explained to the Council that they had at one time gotten an okay to' build on one of the lots after a road was put in and after the subdivision was done. She said they should never have had to subdivide the land in the first place and was concerned over the expenses they have incurred. Leland Stull explained that they initially did not want to subdivide. They wanted to build two houses on it. He said they found out they couldn't do that so either J.o~n O'Donnel or he himself would build on it. He said he paid cash for 2 1/2 acres and carried a contract for the remaining balance. He said that at the time he wanted to do this Planning and Zoning said no because if the financing went bad, the bank would repossess the 2-1/2 acres from the 16 and it would be split off illegally. Mr. Nereson said that the point is if you have title to 2-1/2 acres which is within a 16 acre parcel, it would require a subdivision to make it a separate parcel which would require a variance from the ordinance or you would have to plat. · ~r. Nereson explained to the Council that they cOUld do one of two things -- approve a final plat for Stull Addition, or send it back to Planning and Zoning for review for recommendations to the City Council. After General discussion it was decided that the stulls take this back to Planning and Zoning for their review and recommendations to the City Council. 8.

Nereson explained that a variance would now be required to allow Mr. Melbergts trailer stay on the property as the extension in time has already been allowed an~ was to be off by the 28th of February.
