Chairman Tracy indicated that the major concerns of the preliminary plat were as follows: 1. Drainage 2. Road Easement 3. 2~ acre minimum lots 4. No unbuildable lots requiring a variance 5. City engineering of drainage plan 6. Engineering and layout of roads should be reviewed by City Engineer Commissioner Pearce indicated that he felt a person should be able to build on a 2~ acre lot with swamp if it is buidable and does not requite a variance. Mr. Joe Robinson of Knollwood was present and indicated his opposition to have a road go through 201st Avenue. COMMISSIONER PEARCE MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE PRELIM- INARY PLAT FOR DEERWOOD FIRST ADDITION ON THE BASIS THAT THE DEVELOPER WILL PROVIDE THE STAFF, BEFORE THE HEARING WITH THE COUNCIL, ASSURANCE THAT THERE WILL BE NO UNBUILDABLE LOTS, THAT ROAD EASEMENTS BE GRANTED ON 201ST AND FROM THE CUL-DE-SAC ON 202ND SOUTH, THAT A DRAINAGE PLAN BE PROVIDED AND THAT A STIPULATION THAT 2~ ACRE DOES ALLOW FOR SWAMPS AND MARSH AREAS, AND THAT THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. COMMISSIONER TRALLE SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 7-0. 6. Consider Variance Request by Mr. Michael Majkrzak Mr. Majkrzak was not present for this item. Rick Breezee indicated to the Planning Commission that he had issued a Stop Order for Mr. Michael Majkrzak because he was installing an inground swimming pool without first obtaining the required permit. Rick Breezee further indicated that Mr. Majkr- zak is located in an R-lb zone, and that the required setbacks are 35' front, 20' side, and 20' rear, and that Mr. Majkrzak has started to place his pool 10'4" from a sideyard lot line and 15' from his rearyard property line, and therefore, is en- croaching on the side and rear setbacks. Rick Breezee further indicated that Mr. Majkrzak has constructed the pooi wall and is in the process of installing a liner. Chairman Tracy indicated that he felt he would vote denial of the request because Mr. Majkrzak created the hardship himself, and further that he did not come fnto the City to see what they required. Commissioner Pearce indicated that no matter what size Mr. Majkrzak built his pool, the electric service drop would have to be moved. Commissioner Tralle indicated he felt the Commissioners should review the five standards of the Zoning Ordinance before a recommendation be made.
