<br />P Plat, North Meadows Addition <br />June 10, 1993 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />21. A PERMIT FOR A MODEL HOME ON LOT 2, BLOCK 1, BE <br />CONTINGENT UPON A DRIVEWAY PERMIT BEING APPROVED BY <br />THE SHERBURNE COUNTY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT TO ACCESS <br />COUNTY RD 32. <br /> <br />Variances <br /> <br />Since the variance for the road was applied for, the City has <br />amended its ordinance. A dead-end road can now exceed the <br />maximum length (700 ft) without a variance under certain <br />circumstances. The Planning Commission felt that since the <br />plat dealt with an existing private road, it is appropriate to <br />allow that road to be upgraded to City standards even though it <br />is beyond the maximum length and recommended approval. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission also recommended approval of the <br />variances on lot sizes for Lots 1-4, Block 2. The Planning <br />Commission felt the lot size could be achieved by relocating <br />the road. However, they also felt relocating the road was a <br />worse situation than granting a variance. Further, the small <br />percentage the lots in question were below the City's minimum <br />requirement, would not concentrate drainfields to a point where <br />they would have an impact on ground water. Commissioner <br />Eberley voted against this variance. <br />
