P&Z-3- 4/2/79 Item 6. Walter Knackstedt Mr. Knacks~t6dt was present to explain that he has access to his proper, ty, however, that it does not have frontage on a public street and he wants to use a deeded access through his neighbors property for access. The Commission ad- vised him that it would be to his benefit to request permission to construct a street using the deeded easement, and also suggested he contact Mr. Brown with the possiblity of selling him a portion of the property to alleviate his problem of being landlocked. It was pointed out that even though he does have access to the rear of the property from a city street, there would be problems with services to the property. Gerry Zimmerman arrived 10'30 p.m. Item7. Hedstrom Electric - Request for Variance Mr. Hedstrom was present requesting variances to allow him to build additions onto existing buildings which presently do not meet the sideyard setback re- quirments. It was pointed out that he would have to handle the drainage problem and Mr. Hedstrom stated'that everyone elses property was draining onto his, and this was the City's problem, not his. Mr. Goodrich suggested that he obtain drainage easements, and Mr. Hedstrom stated that if it is going to get so in- volved, he would just forget the building planned for the rear of the property, and just add on to the present ones. Ken Peterson explained that he would have to show a plan which provided adequate parking without using the area over the present septic system. Ron West asked if he would be willing to handle the drainage problem if variances were granted? Ken Peterson explained that this would mean a plan that would meet with the Engineer's approval. Mr. Goodrich stated that the variances would be considered by the Board of Adjustment. The Commission recommended that Mr. Hedstrom revise his site plan to eliminate parking over the septic area, to indicate an approved drainage plan, and adequate parking area, and also recommended that the Board of Adjustment allow variances if Mr. Hedstrom would reduce the length of block building to be in line with the other and deed enough footage to the City for a future extension of Front Street. It was the consensus of the Commission that the Board of Adjustment should conduct a public hearing on the request for variances, and if it is their decision to grant them, that the variances be contingent on final review by the Planning Commission of the drainage, parking, and screening for the site. Also requested will be a variance for the setback requirement on the new proposed storage building in the rear of property. Items 8 & 9.

Item 11. Klemish Sketch Plan Mr. Ed Klemish was present with a sketch plan located north of Shady Lawn Estates with less than 2.5. acre lot size. The consensus of the commission was to deny the plat and advised Mr. Klemish that he could either go to the Council, or proceed with a plat of 2.5 acre lots. Mr. Klemish stated that he felt this was the best division of the parcel, and if required to have 2.5 acre lots, he would have to give money in lieu of park land adjacent to Trott Brook. Mr. Klemish was informed that the sketch plan needs reviewal by the Park Commission first, and in the event he revises the sketch he should plan on still showing land for dedication to parks. The consensus of the commission was that if by dedicating land, the lot size of the lots adjacent to the brook
