D. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Variance (Lot Area) - Carey Heights Drive 7:30 P.M.
a. Chairman Anderson convened the meeting for a public hearing regarding the re-
quest of Mr. Richard Novak for a lot area variance from the Municipal Code. The
Clerk read the notice of hearing along with the dates of publication.
b. Manager Miller presented the staff report and stated as Carey Heights Drive is
not a dedicated, maintained street and as there are no utilities present, and as
applicant has not demonstrated the need for special exception for an unusual sit-
uation, it is recommended that this request be denied. If appropriate access and
utility service were available within Carey Heights Drive approval of the lot area
variance would be recommended. In order to avoid prejudicing future consideration
of such a variance request at such time as the street is improved it is recommended
that applicant be allowed to withdraw the present request.
c. Commissioner Duane Prew presented the following Planning Commission recommend-
ation:
"Commissioner Prew moved to table consideration on this to allow the applicant to
pursue the matter of dedication of right -of -way and pursual of a variance to stan-
dards of street and utility construction.
