Motion carried unanimously. Paul Henry Lot Spl it, Cont. (Comm. #8-82-1) Chairperson Bosell noted that she spoke to the City Attorney regarding the question of road frontage on this property. The City Attorney explained that when you are platting Oa virgin piece of property you end up with 300 feet of road frontage. An existing lot of record, as long as it abuts a public road, is a proper lot. Mr. Henry's lot does meet this requirement. Chairperson Bosell also asked the attorney about the extension of Guarani Street between Andover West and Lund's Round Lake Estates. He said that Mr. Henry can deed 66 feet to the city, then when the street is improved the benefitted property owners will be assessed. Commissioner Elling noted that by having Mr. Henry deed the 66 feet, he will still end up with two substandard lots. Chairperson Bosell explained that the property is in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and will be served with sanitary sewer eventually which would allow for smaller lots. She asked Mr. Henry if he had contacted Derril Burger regarding the extension of Guarani Street. Mr. Henry, 4310 - 145th Avenue N.W. stated that he did contact Mr. Burger. Mr. Burger is no longer in possession of the property; therefore, he did not pursue the matter any further. Mr. Henry asked if he will still have to pay for part of Guarani Street even though he is dedicating the land for it. Chairperson Bosell noted that he would be assessed for the street. She asked Mr. Henry if he still wishes to pursue the lot split. Mr. Henry stated that he does. Commissioner Elling stated that he spoke to the Fire Department and they would like to see that road put in eventually. Mr. Henry asked the City Engineer what the cost would be to put the road in. City Engineer Schrantz felt that, according to the latest road project costs, it would would be approxi- (~ately $34.00 per foot. He also stated that Guarani Street would most likely be done at the '-/same time as the streets in Lund's Round Lake Estates. MOTION by Elling, seconded by Apel that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of a lot split requested by Paul Henry for the property described lJ Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting September 13, 1982 - Minutes Page 2 " "- \ (Henry Lot Split, Cont.) -../ L~ as 'the East 330 feet of the south 660 feet of the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 19, Township 32, Range 24, Anoka County, Minnesota. Subject to road over the south 33 feet thereof and subject to other easements of record, if anYJ for the following reasons: 1) Mr. Henry will deed the westerly 66 feet of the existing lot for future Guarani Street extension; 2) Although the lots created will be substandard for the R-l zone, they are highly buildable lots and within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and should pose no on-site sewage problems; therefore, the Planning Commission recommends granting variances for both lots; 3) It would be in keeping with the intent of the Compre- hensive Plan and would create no adverse conditions; 4) the lot split will be subject to park dedication fees. Motion carried unanimously. This will go to the City Council on October 5, 1982. Forest Lake Contracting Mining Permit Public Hearing (Comm. #8-82-3) Chairperson Bosell opened the public hearing.

George Ragan - stated that he owns the eastern part of Lot 12 and is concerned that his property will become an island. Chairperson Bosell explained that Forest Lake Contracting cannot contribute any water to his property. City Engineer Schrantz noted that 894 is a little lower than Hanson Boulevard. The drainage will be going the same way as it was before. However, he felt that the elevation should be 895 rather than 894. He asked Mr. Spengler which roads they plan to use. Mr. Spengler stated that they will use Hanson Boulevard. ~lr. Schrantz stated that if they haul onto a county road, they have to have an access permit. He also needs to know what the water table is and the restoration process. He does not want a big hole left until the entire project is completed. Mr. Spengler noted that they will not leave vertical slopes and at the end of the construction season, they will level off the slopes. Commissioner Perry asked if the 2 to 1 slopes means at the end of the construction season or the end of the complete project.
