. . . Page 9 Planning Commission Minutes April 28, 1987 1. Layout for the future connection to Troy Street without a variance pushes that easement to the west which crowds the building site that would be on Lot 15, making that site less desireable. 2. The location of the easement would access the land to the south of Fairhaven Rills in a less desirable area, a swamp, if the easement is pushed to the west. 3. Without a variance, the future easement to Troy Street takes an unnecessary bend. 4. The same number of lots in Fairhaven Rills could be accomplished without a variance, but the above mentioned three items would make the lots less desirable. COMMISSIONER KROPUENSKE MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL, APPROVAL OF THE LOT SIZE VARIANCE REQUESTED BY FAIRHAVEN HILLS PLAT BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED REASONS. COMMISSIONER MORTON SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 7-0. 17.
