Chairperson Nixt also explained the proposal of sharing a driveway and noted this would not <br />impact Mr. Anderson's property. <br /> <br />Tom Lagoner, 7250 181 st Avenue, Ramsey, asked if there is a design for this plan. He also <br />questioned whom he would request permission from to use that driveway. He inquired who <br />would be responsible for maintenance of the driveway. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt explained there is no design required, though a building permit is required. He <br />suggested talking to the property owners for access to this driveway. He also explained that the <br />responsibility for maintenance would remain as it is now. <br /> <br />Bruce Bacon, Ramsey, stated he owns the property immediately to the west of this party. He <br />noted this is a topic near to his heart since he is the adjoining property owner. He mentioned it is <br />difficult to figure out how to gain access except through these easements. He questioned if the <br />Planning Commission would be interested in figuring out how to improve access to a landlocked <br />parcel. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt clarified the issue at hand is not regarding an easement but is a variance request <br />for a minimum lot width. He stated the Planning Commission would give Mr. Bacon the same <br />consideration as the case at hand. <br /> <br />Board Member Kociscak asked if there are any long-range plans to construct a through street to <br />those landlocked parcels. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik explained that until the property owners subdivide, a <br />through street is not required. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt pointed out that as more easements are considered, it becomes a safety issue. <br />He suggested that one additional consideration is to grant a multiple access off that one <br />easement. <br /> <br />Motion by Board Member Kociscak, seconded by Board Member Reeve, to close the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Board Members Kociscak, Reeve, and Watson. <br />Voting No: None.
