She stated that revised plans now ind- icate that all lots meet septic requirements. Thomas Crosby asked why the developer was proposing private roads. Jim Johnston of the Charlton Company, representing Franklin Groves, explained that long culdesacs will be the best for the area and that city regulations do not allow for them. He also stated that private roads will work well under their homeowners association rules. Mr. Crosby stated that such an arrangement would extend agreements for private roads more tha ever done and he asked if there were any other similar situations. Richard Schaeffer explained that similar arrangements are made for townhouse developments. Mr. Crosby stated that if ever taken over by the city the streets would need to be brought up to current city specifications. Wilfred Scherer asked if the city should be talking about upgrading Hunter Dr. Mr. Johnston stated that they were prepared to discuss upgrading provided that there was an equitable cost sharing between the city and other abutting owners. Mr. Scherer asked the the city engineer should be asked to give a cost estimate. Thomas Anderson suggested looking at a plan and then holding a public hearing.

Motion declared carried Raskob Bros., Variance JoEllen Hurr explained the application being made by the Raskob Brothers to have three separate substandard sized lots declared buildable. She reviewed information presented at the Planning Commission and their recommendation that the three lots be combined into one, for building purposes. Robert RAskob stated that the three lots are not for sale; that one lot is being given to his son-in-law as a building site. ' )DOU"1 1 Patricia Raskob stated that they would consider leaving the center lot vacant so that if a septic system problem developed the center lot could be used as an alternate septic system site. Thomas Anderson suggested placing a covenant on the middle lot so that it could not be used for building unless sewer is installed to the area or perhaps a covenant on the larger par- cel to the east which would give the lot a one acre status. Mr. Anderson explained the method that Corcoran and Independence uses to maintain their rural requirement and also the means by which Medina met the Metro Council requirement of 10 acre minimums by including entire acreage of the city in its formula. Richard Schieffer stated that there is a question of following regulations for one applicant and not another. Mrs. Raskob stated that they had been told by a previous Council to plat, which they had done, and now another Council is saying that the platting is not valid. Mr. Schieffer agreed that actions of one Council are not binding on succeeding Councils. Mrs. Hurr explained the requirements in the Independence Beach area for combination of lots to meed the square footage requirements. William Reiser asked if there was a way by which this variance could be approved. Mr. Schieffer stated that others have been required to combine. Mr. Anderson asked about the man who owns a lot on Co. Rd. 24. Mrs. Hurr explaiend that he does not have additional property to add to his lot and has been told to try to purchase some additional property. Mrs. Raskob asked why they should comply with this Councils direction when it would be no more binding that a previous Councils direction to plat. Robert Raskob asked how Rayburn Anderson had gotten a building permit when his lot was not large enough. Mrs. Hurr explained that he had no other land and did not require a variance. Motion by Heideman, seconded by Crosby to grant a building permit to the Raskob Brothers if the three lots are combined into one. Thomas Anderson stated that he would vote against the motion because the property would be better served if the applicant were to combine in an easterly direction to a one acre depth. Mr. Crosby stated that plan would not be fullfilling the ordinance requirement of a 5 acre ninimum. Mayor Anderson asked if Council would want to look at the procedures that Corcoran and In- dependence use. Wilfred Scherer stated that it should be looked into as he was also going to vote against the motion. Voting Yes: Heideman, Crosby. Voting No: Anderson, Scherer, Reiser. Motion not carried Motion by Scherer, seconded by reiser to ask the Planning Commission to look into a change of the ordinance such as the Independence and Corcoran planned unit development.

Motion declared carried Hamel Lions Club, Conditional Use Permit Thomas Anderson asked if he and Wilfred Scherer were allowed to participate in discussion as they belong to the Lions Club. Richard Schieffer stated that they could participate. JoEllen Hurr explained that the Lions Club had made application to hold Flea Markets each Sundayfrom May through October in the Medina Ballroom parking lot. She stated that she had not heard from any of the neighbors and that the Planning Commission had recommended approval. Motion by Reiser, seconded by Scherer to grant a Conditional Use Permit to the Hamel Lions Club to conduct a Flea Market at the Medina Ballroom parking lot on Sundays from May through October. Motion declared carried 0D10?2 Anne Heideman asked that applicants be advised that they should not advertize their events prior to receiving approval from the city.

She stated that the reason that the application had come before the city was due to the fact that the applicant was re- questing a variance from the parking lot blacktopping requirement. She stated that the only traffic to the property would be two cars of the owners and that they could park on Hamel Rd. in front of the building as the street is very wide at that point. She reported that the Planning Commission had recommended that the Conditonal Use Permit and variance be granted. Motion by Reiser, seconded by cRosby to grant a Conditonal Use Permit and VAriance to Glen Kively dba Interlocken Systems, to conduct his business at 62 Hamel Rd. with a variance granted from the blacktopping requitement due to the small amount of traffic that will be generated to the business. Motion declared carried Alpana Aluminum Company JoEllen Hurr reported that a subcontractor for the Alpana Co. had put fill into the pond on the property and had been given until March 8th in which to have it removed. She ex- plained that this was contrary to any grading approval that had been given. She stated that the construction had begun on the building and that the subdivision will be taken back to the Planning Commission for approval and that lot number need to be clarified.
