City Council Minutes April 2, 1984 Page Two which would be .638 acres in size. The City Administrator indicated that the Planning Commission approved the variance request for the .638 acre lot split, rather than the recommended .69 acre proposal suggested by City Staff. The City Administrator further indicated that the difference between the Cowles' request and the City Staff proposal has to do with the size and location of the road easement for access to the other buildings. The City Administrator indicated that the City Staff has proposed that there be a thirty foot road easement to the westerly most buildings on Mr. Cowles' property, and that the thirty foot easement come from the remaining parcel, leaving the newly created parcel at .69 acres. Mr. Ron Black, representing Mr. Cowles, indicated that the variance request was made to allow Mr. Cowles to break off a parcel from the total tract, the new proposed parcel would contain the building behind the Cedar Log Homes. Mr. Ron Black further indicated that it is proposed to sell that parcel. Lengthly discussion was carried on regarding the peoposed road easement to the buildings on the southern portion of the property. The City Administrator in- dicated that the basic question is the variance request and further indicated that the road easement and retaining wall must also be considered. Discussion was also carried on regarding the width of the easement necessary for trucks to reach the loading dock. Discussion was also carried on regarding the design of the road easement to the loading docks. Mayor Hinkle indicated that the parcel as proposed by the City Administrator in his memo to the Mayor and City Council dated March 29th would allow for a cleaner lot split. Further discussion was carried on regarding the distance of the proposed lot line from the existing building and the distance from the proposed road easement to the existing building. Discussion was also carried on regarding the access to the doors on the westerly buildings of the proposed parcel A. Mr. Rick Breezee, the Building and Zoning Administrator, indicated that Mr. Cowles will be requesting an administrative subdivision for parcel A and the road width and road easement could be addressed at that time. It was the consensus that the necessary findings could be met in the gtanting of the variance request and that the road easement would be addressed at the time of the administrative subdivision.
