Minutes of 14 June 1988
It was noted that in Item #2, it should be lot #15, not lot #5.
In the same item, the "s" should be removed from "application."

2. Public Hearing: Final Plat application of Jim LaPlant and Steve
Pcolar for a 2-lot subdivision of the one acre Riehle property,
495 Spear Street
Mr. Pcolar said there is a house on parcel A. Each lot will be 1/
2 acre, and there will be a single family home or a duplex on lot
B. Mrs. Lafleur noted the City Manager recommends these lots be
connected to the City sewer system. Mr. Pcolar said this would be
very expensive as there is at least 1/4 mile to cover. If, how-
ever, the soils are not compatible, they will have to attach to
the City. Mrs. Lafleur also noted the 2 lots will share a
driveway with access to each house.
Mrs. Maher movedthe Planning Commission approve the Final Plat
application of Steve Pcolar and James LaPlant for subdivision of a
one acre parcel with existing house owned by H. Riehle into two
lots as depicted on a plan entitled "Proposed Subdivision of 495
S ear" prepared by Fred C. Koerner, C.E., dated June 1988 with the
following stipulati®H®:
L Perk tests shall be submitted to the City Engineer. If not ac-
cE�ptable, sewer lines shall be extended to serve the proposed lots
and shall conform to City standards. Sewer line details shall be
approved by the City Engineer prior to permit.

3. Public Hearing; Amendment to Zoninq Requlations to chance the
minimum size of awellinq units
Mrs. Lafleur advised that the changes made in Section 18.113 had
resulted in possible misinterpretation, so the present amendment
was to restore the original language. Mr. Jacob then read the
proposed language for Section 18.113.
Mrs. Maher moved to repeal the recently approved language for
Section 18.113 and to replace it with the language on p. 38 as
presented by the City Planner and read by the Chairman, and to
send this language to the City Council for a Public Hearing.
Ms. Peacock seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
4. Sketch plan application of Chris Senesac for a 4-lot
subdivision of 1.721 acre Franco property, 150 Airport Parkway
Mr. Senesac explained the lot would be serviced by a cul de sac.
Mr. Szymanski has approved the substandard cul de sac. It will be
a 24 ft. road with curbs. They propose 2 duplexes, 1 single
family Mouse plus the existing house. The development will be
served by public water and sewer. Ms. Pugh asked how this fits in
with the neighborhood. Mr. Senesac said there are duplexes in the
area.
Mrs. Lafleur noted the Commission can require 15% of the land for
open space or require a $200 per unit recreation fee instead.
Mr. Burgess questioned whether the Fire Chief will approve the 24
ft. wide cul de sac. Mrs. Lafleur said they could stipulate no
parking on the cul de sac. Mr. Senesac said he had no problem
with that. It was also suggested a sidewalk fee be paid in lieu
of a sidewalk.
