Planning Commission Minutes June 25, 2002 Page 6 e Commissioner Mesich stated that lots have been turned down before due to usual configurations, such as how the lots are laid out with lines that are parallel to each other and well-defined. In this case, Lot 4 is an L-shaped lot and does not meet that criteria. Mr. Wilson stated that that type of basis would be sufficient. Commissioner Anderson stated he felt the edge of the wetland should be considered as the property line. He did not feel Lot 4 was laid out well. Commissioner Mesich stated that the shed on the lot to the north has an elevation which is lower than the wetland and would be flooded if there is any runoff from the wetland at all. Chair Pederson felt that four lots would be more appropriate. He felt the plat was poorly laid out. He expressed concern regarding the possibility of water over the driveway of Lot 6, the location of septic systems next to a wetland, the neighbor's concern for potential for water runoff onto their property, and the impact of future development to the north and south, and the traffic concerns on County Road 33. Chair Pederson stated that with the construction of the over pass on 169, there will be even more traffic on County Road 33. He stated he could not support the plat, and unless the plat were significantly changed, he would vote to recommend denial. Commissioner Baker concurred he also would recommend denial until changes were made to the plat. e COMMISSIONER ANDERSON MOVED TO RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE REQUEST BY CONTOUR EXCAVATING FOR PREUMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF BIRCHVIEW, CASE NO. P 02-12, BASED ON THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS: 1. LOT SIZE FOR LOT 3 DOES NOT MEET THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE IN THE CITY'S ORDINANCE. 2. THE CONFIGURATION OF LOT 4 DOES NOT MEET CITY STANDARDS. 3. THERE IS UMITED ACCESS TO LOT 4. 4. THE ADDITIONAL WETLAND MITIGATION WILL FURTHER REDUCE THE SIZE OF LOT 3. 5. THE SEPTIC SYSTEM LAYOUT ON LOT 6 APPEARS TO BE DEFICIENT. CHAIR PEDERSON SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 7-0. 6.3. Request by Daniel O'Bresky for Conditional Use Permit for Subway Restaurant (Elk River Crossing 4th). Public Hearing - Case No. CU 02-24 Chris Leeseberg explained that staff is requesting that this item be tabled a special meeting of the Planning Commission on July 9, 2002 so that the appropriate revisions can be made to the application. e
