requesting determination of legal lot status to separate lot 8 from lot 7. Each parcel meets

as conforming and lot 8 may be restricted by sewer easement location. Both lots are accessed
by 30 foot easement. The principal and accessory structures are located on lot 7 while lot 8 is
vacant. Although, a deck may be encroaching on lot 8. Plan Director Turk went over the four
criteria which staff and Ruekert & Mielke reviewed. Staff recommends that petitioner submit
new plat of survey for both lots having petitioner record easements to permit structural
encroachments to remain or remove encroachments to return structures to conforming offsets.

prior to building permits being issued. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 83-99 was
Adopted unanimously.

Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to approve. Alderman Salentine seconded. Petitioner
proposing to create five single family parcels on parcel zoned EA with frontage on Kelsey
Drive. Each parcel would be eight acres in size with a width of 250 feet. Petitioner’s request
does not meet the current 300 foot width requirement for Agricultural lots in the 2005 Comp
Plan. If RCE zoning is proposed for this division the 2005 Comp Plan would need to be
07-20-99 PC Minutes Page 3
amended to reflect rural residential land use. The adopted bike path plan shows Kelsey Drive
as a future bike route. This needs to be addressed. Mr. Wayne Salentine addressed the
Commission clarifying that he would be requesting the RCE zoning. Mr. Salentine also
mentioned that he has requested sewer service from the Public Utilities Committee. They
have granted nine (9) total connections. Mr. Ray Christenson spoke to Commission in favor of

individual issue. Mayor De Angelis was not aware of City personnel working with Attorney
