PAGE 10 Planning Commission Minutes March 31, 1987 Commissioner Kropuenske questioned whether or not the soil would pose such a problem as to have difficulty rece1v1ng financing for property in the plat. Stephen Rohlf stated that FHA does require percolation tests for financing. Chairman opposing hearing. Wilson opened or favoring the this public review, hearing. Chairman There being no comments Wilson closed the public Chairman Morton pointed out the deadend in the plat. Morton voiced agreement with Terry Maurer's suggestion that all roads come to the end of the plat and be hardsurfaced far enough to give 150 ft. frontage to two lots on a cul-de-sac. Stephen Rohlf suggested rough grading and seeding the proposed road to prevent erosion. Mr. Rohlf stated that the lot lines don't run parallel in a cul-de-sac situation. In this case, the 150 ft. frontage could be reduced to 40 ft. The building setback line is then extended to however far it takes to get the minimum width. Marlon Glines, surveyor, presented an optional road passing through the development instead of stopping with a cul-de-sac. The Developers reducing three land is locked questioned the lots in size to in by boundaries. Planning Commission on their thoughts of about 2.3 acres due to the fact that the Discussion was held between Marlon Glines, Surveyor, and Stephen Rohlf, B & Z Administrator, regarding the various options for lot shapes and roads. It was also clarified that under sized lots would require a variance. The Developers explained that questioned the future the width of the easement. Mr. Rohlf road easement would have to be 66 ft. wide. There was discussion that the clearing of this future roadway would be an invitation to recreational vehicles. Mr. Rohlf stated that on the Southern boundary, a fence would be required and on the end of the cul-de-sac it would be at the discretion of property owners. The developers did not feel that developing a road to the south would be of any benefit. They felt that, if the Southern property is to be developed, it should be the developers responsibility to establish the roadway. Commissioner Kropuenske pointed out to the developers that they tied into the road coming out of Hobbit Hills and that it is the intent of City Staff to have all developers extend roadways to the ends of the plats for future roadway tie-ins. The Developers felt that since the Fairhaven Hills plat was started before the road change was put into effect by the City, this requirement should be able to be by- passed on this plat.
