Ward Lake DrivJ Maintenance
i
Larry Eros, 15535 Prairie Road - Works with fellmv who lives on Ward Lake Drive and
was told that the proposed road development project was going to be changed
from Prairie Road to Ward Lake Drive. (No change in the road work project,
plan is ,to start from County Road 18.) At the meeting on Prairie Road the
two objections came from one fellow who has his house up for sale and the
other from a fellow who owns open land. Felt that only people against the
propose~ road development had been asked for their opinion. (It was every
intent to make it clear that anyone Ivho had something to say was invited to
speak.) I i
Engineer Stoclavell reviewed the letter dated June 14, 1976. The Ivork on Ward Lake
Drive will amount to eliminating sand bèrm, do some ditch Ivork where there are no
'¡'oho,. bull' ¡: ''"' "'"'. aod wboo 'bl, ¡, ,"",1", p'"ibly b<in, in '"" Cl~, 5

development at his time.

Attorney Hawkins stated that this will not be one lot but l~ill be on one deed and
will have Vvo legal descriptions.
H)TION by VanderLaan, seconded by Ri ther, that the City Council approve the variance
of EV Builders for the following reasons: In the opinion of the Attorney failure to
grant the variance will create an unneccssary hardship with respect to a substantial
property right of the =er, that the granting of the variance does not interfere
with the purpose of Ordinance 10, does not interfere Ivith street patterns, will not
create a buildable lot and if the variance is not granted, in the future the house
may have to be removed.
Carried unanimously.

Commission.

public road and the person convcvin~ this propertv is .Jack E. Neuman.
. I ,. . ,
Attorney Hawkips cited letter from Attorney Gencral questioning whether cities have
the authority ~o limit size of parcels to 20 acres. He feels as long as this is
simply moving a lot line and not creating a new parcel, it should bc granted.
~[)TION by HOlakek, seconded by Schneider, for reasons cited in the Planning and
Zoning Recommendation 576 and that he is not creating a parcel, just moving a lot line.
and that this will be combined under one description. (This should be put in the
form of a resolution prepared by the staff.)
