Discussion regarding this fact followed <br />with the consensus of the Commission being that they were in favor of the <br />less than 2.5 acre lot size, but that they didn't know the best way to handle <br />this. Commission members stated that they would prefer an amendment to the <br />Comprehensive Plan versus granting a variance on the plat. The Commission would <br />like an opinion from the City Attorney regarding the best way to handle this. <br /> <br />In discussion of the Engineer's Report, Mr. Greenberg stated that he was puzzled <br />that there were still so many points to be cleared up as his engineer was sup- <br />posed to be working on this. <br /> <br />Mr. Veve stated that he has been trying to conduct business in the City for <br />numerous years without adequate roads and would like to see this plat finished. <br /> <br />Motion by Art Dunn, seconded by Brad Bodle to table this item until later in <br />the meeting so that Mr, Greenberg has time to review the engineer's findings, <br />and the lot size problem can be worked out.

Commission members agreed that this is actually <br />a City street and even upgrading with class 5 would be expensive, and should <br />not be the entire burden of the plat. Art Dunn stated that since it was a Cit~ <br />road~ the developer was not responsible. <br />Ron ~est questmonbd the park dedmcation stating that in his opinion 2.5 acres <br />plus cash with plans for adding an additional 2.5 acres when the adjoining <br />property is platted would be a bet~e~ idea. <br /> <br />Motion by Brad Bodle, seconded by ~ to recommend to the City Council <br />to approve the preliminary plat of Sorteberg Addition with the'following <br />recommendations: <br /> <br /> <br />
