Page 2 Board of Adjustment May 14, 1979 Mr. KYYhkynen said it was Mr. Shenk's understanding that the Io~ size requirement was one acre. Councilman Cox said at the time the City considered the Kovar parcel, the City's requirements on subdivision were thoroughly discussed with Mr. Shenk by both Planning and Zoning and City Council. It was explicitly brought to his attention so that there would be no question in his mind as to what is required to avoid his having any future problem with his land in this regard. Councilman Cox reiterated that when Council granted the variance request for Mr. Shenk to sell a piece of property to Mr. Kovar, that in reviewing that matter, it was discussed with him that in his better interest in accord with the ordinance that he do whatever appropriate for the rest of his property in order to provide an orderly plan for his property and access and right of way to Highway 10 in a reasonable manner. It was suggested he consider the importance to the City of having businesses that provide a good sound tax base and 'good practical use .of the property for everyone involved. Mr. Kyyhkynen said Mr. Shenk has an odd shaped piece of property and there is no other way to subdivide it. Mayor Gamec expressed concern that provision be made for a future service road to insure uniform traffic patterns as developments occur along Highway 10. He asked Engineer Raatikka what size easement has been taken' on the Kovar parcel. Engineer Raatikka replied that he couldn't say for sure without researching the matter but guessed that 50 feet would be adequate. Mr. Kyyhkynen said.that the parcel in question did not have access to the Highway at the present time, access to the parcel is now through Mr. Shenk's driveway. Mr. Shenk said that the State Said he could have access for this parcel on Highway 10. Motion by Mayor Gamec and seconded by Councilman Reimann to table further Board of Adjustment proceedings on this case until May 29, 1979 so that the City dan research and determine the size of the adjoining easements so that an easement can be obtained from. this parcel to line up with the surrounding property and allow time to secure some suggestions in regard to accesses on Highway 10, and said accesses to the property should only be from the easter!y direction and exits only to the west. Motion carried. Voting yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmen Mickelson, Reimann and Sorteberg. Voting no: Councilman Cox. Councilman Cox said he feels this 'case is similar to VemMcGregor's and since the City is requiring a plat in her situation, along with cases of Anderson and Westby, this case should also be platted, and that would assure that all requirements of the ordinance will be met. Councilman Sorteberg said the same requirements can be obtained by metes and bounds. Councilman Mickelson added that everything ~uld be addressed either way.
