road connection to the property to the west. <br /> <br />Board Member Dempsey commented it could be cost prohibitive to put a road through wetlands. <br /> <br />Board Member Johnson had no argument with the proposed plat if most of the land north of the <br />ditch is wetlands which would make it impossible to stub in a road connection to the west. He <br />asked the City Engineer if it is realistic to assume the property to the north is unbuildable. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that it looks that way, but there might be a high spot somewhere <br />for a building. <br /> <br />Chairperson Anderson said he shared everyone's concerns, but he reiterated that they need to <br />prevent future problems as well. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik pointed out that the land is proposed to stay as 4-in-40 <br />in the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Motion by Board Member Dempsey and seconded by Board Member Johnson to adopt <br />Resolution #00-04-081 adopting Findings of Fact #0515 relating to Philip Johnson's request for <br />a variance from the lot width and lot size requirements. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Chairperson Anderson stated the City code stated that this land must be <br />developed according to the 4-in-40 rule. This proposed plat has no lot that meets this <br />requirement. He questioned state law and whether or not the Board has the legal right to approve <br />this plat. Board Member Kociscak asked if the property had been previously subdivided. <br />Community Development Director Frolik commented that the applicant had gone through an <br />administrative subdivision. Board Member Kociscak questioned if the applicant had sold the <br />property already. Community Development Director Frolik stated the new property owner of <br />Lot 4 could sign the plat or a consent to let Mr. Johnson plat. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
