COUNCILMEMBER DOBEL SECONDED <br /> THE MOTION. THE MOTON CARRIED 4-0. <br /> 5.3. Metropolitan Gravel/Conditional Use Permit/Public Hearing <br /> This item was delayed until the end of the meeting as there was no one <br /> present representing Metroplitan Gravel. <br /> Mayor Tralle arrived at this time (7:50 p.m.) <br /> 5.5. Preliminary Plat Review and Associated Variances/Shores of Briarwood <br /> Ron Kuhn <br /> Mayor Tralle indicated that the major requests for the plat are variances <br /> for the lot sizes. The City's definition of lot area states that no area <br /> occupied by rivers, streams, lakes or any area one acre or larger <br /> classified as a US Army Corp of Engineers type 3, 4, or 5 wet land can be <br /> included in lot area. As Kliever's Marsh is classified as a lake in the <br /> Ordinance, no lot area can include any portion of Kliever's Marsh below <br /> the ordinanry high water mark. <br /> • Planning Commission representative Arlon Fuchs indicated that the <br /> Planning Commission recommended denial of the variances and requested <br /> that the plat be divided into three lots instead of four so as to <br /> eliminate the need for lot size variances. <br /> Steve Bjork, Zoning Assistant, also indicated that Mr. Kuhn is requesting <br /> variances to the setback from the ordinary high water mark. The DNR <br /> setback requirement is a 200 foot setback from the ordinary high water <br /> mark to structures for lots that abut an environmental lake. Mr. Kuhn is <br /> requesting a 150 foot encroachment on all four lots due to the irregular <br /> shape of Kliever's Marsh and the limitations this puts on the location of <br /> housing sites . <br /> Mayor Tralle opened the public hearing. <br /> Mr. Ron Langbehn of 10675 175th Ave. No. indicated that the increased <br /> population on the road would cause the need for upgrading. He questioned <br /> who would pay for this. He further questioned whether an arm for the <br /> railroad crossing would be necessary and who would pay for this. Mr. <br /> Langbehn indicated that the lights froth the vehicles using the road would <br /> shine in his bedroom window and questioned whether the road could be <br /> graded so as to prevent this. <br /> Mayor Tralle closed the public hearing. <br /> • <br />
