APPROVAL OF MINUTES
1. Minutes No. 77 -5 (May 26, 1977)
Councilman Wiegert moved that the Minutes of Meeting No. 77 -5 (May 26, 1977) be
approved as submitted.
Seconded by Chairman Anderson. Ayes - all.
D. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Variance - Lot Width (Access) South of Carver Avenue
a. Chairman Anderson convened the meeting for a public hearing regarding a request
of Mr. Carl Page, 2272 Carver Avenue for a variance from the Maplewood Municipal
Code. The Clerk read the notice of hearing along with the dates of publication.
b. Manager Miller stated staff attempted to process this request speedily, and
in so doing inadvertently caused an error in determining what type of variance
was necessary. The applicant requested permission to build a home on a piece of
property south of Carver Avenue served only by a private driveway. The assumption
made by staff was that the driveway was a part of the applicant's property on
which he wished to build. This was an incorrect assumption on our part and changed
the need for a variance from lot width to access. This discovery was made after
the notice was prepared and published.
In reviewing the request, the Planning Commission was informed that the applicant
was negotiating with Ramsey County Open Space regarding the property in question
and was not sure whether or not the property in question would be purchased for
the Fish Creek Open Space Area. The Planning Commission took no action on the
matter and requested further information of staff on this subject. It is therefore
recommended that this item be referred back to the Planning Commission for further
review and recommendation.
c. Chairman Anderson asked if the applicant was present. Mr. Page was not present.
