He indicated that, as suggested by staff, s 4km d, stments could be ;,a d n lot lines in Block 3 butthat; it was questionah-le whether t,,e variances court d be eliminated entirely.

Co.-,miiss'loner PanPauba stated that it appeared tine - only way the variances in Block nod be eliminated was by the reduction of one lot thereby spreading, the width among the other five lots. He stated that could see theidt variance n the lots in Block 3 was due, part, t the curve the street but' th , as staff suggested, the variancecid be reduced.

Slock 7. Regarding that item, Mr. GroWberg t.1'ated it is the alig n:n rnt of the street and revisions had been made from 4e original submittal., mnissi nar lroin n copinented that there were eleven. variances, requested, and only two appeared to be due to City design standards such as road alignments. May 14, 198J, si; loner TWO= also inquired as to the trail transition from the Fuzordin ldafti n ON; this rylat.

Oiscussion ensied regarding Ken 03 of the Engineer's wok orandwn relative to the ultirilte extension of 19th Pmenu e to Punkirk ttane. Mr. Griorberg stated that it was silgested ly the Rgineer's Worandtrm, a terqporaty cul-de-sac at the end of 19th Avenue IN"arth could lbie prvivided at the west edge cif the arels property. toy Karels Engwall, 4125 Beverly, Minneapolis, commented regarding the economics of the Proposed method of extending 19th Avenue hotth to Dunkirk Lane and also as to the de_r th deficiency on Lot 1, Block 1. Staff responded that the cost of a street through the Karals, property to Dunkirk Lane would be expected to cost more if it were done later and W in conjunction with this project; the City's i:tain Concern at this time was addrassing that future lots on the barels property would have full street access. Staff also comii-ented that the depth deficiency on Lot 1, Block I was due to the curvature of 19th Avenue North and that it appeared the only way to eliminate that lot depth deficiency would be to realign 19th Avenue North tvhich would rquire a total redesi lp of the plat. Ommissiener Paa stated he was not cofairtable with the nunber of lot variances requested and that the trail corridor from the Fizendin Addition could be angled to the east perhaps to better align it with the trailway along Garland Circle to the South. Bill Thurk, 1825 Fountain Lane, inquired as to the need for a full cul-de-sac as the terrinition of Fobs atca` n Lane south of this plat, and notted cAo'=-erns aboullt, snow stotzge in the area. Waff respondeJ That tnatton of Wuntain Lane was prov.ded priviarily due to neighborhood concerns expressed at the public hearing, and that the cul-de-sac design would be in accordance with City standards. Yaff noted that the full turn around must be on public land Wich no longer would r:lude the petitioner's property* hairwoman Vasiliou noted that at the Varch 26,, 19,80 hearing, Ir. Thk had spoken in favor of the cul-de-sac and asked thy he was raw apparently opposed. Mr. "hurl, responded that he felt the cul-de-sac design would become a playground tor neighborhood children. H; stated his concern that Wuntain Lane, termin4te, but not with a full vul-de-sac design, which he did not feel was necessaqy given traffic porditions. Ommissioner brainmmented that it appeared the petitioner was suggesting that a I lot variances could be eliminated through, among other things, realignment of nth Avenue harth, but that would be unduly expensive in terms of time and money. He stated the Yetitioner was also indicating that no lots uDuld be lost with such a redeisgri but that the existing design was preferred with a few variances. Commissioner Pauba stated that it un s not clear where the "excess" land would name from since most of the lots indicated were at the ordinance minimum; he reiterated that it appeared there would need to be a reduction, of lots. The petitioner,, Don Myron, noted that reducing the trail corridor width from 30 feet to 20 feet would diminish the lot width variances in Block 2. 14 La" 3#4 xb r k R y s„LVA no'w+e&thatt It,hoigintal Pa ii. .nq `S” e..sex•:g ws on kLa # t on had been t el minae hor'a races, whiOh he did, not perceive as necessary for a now plat- she µ "`"'amees irdica ed wrer Orimmrily attributed to be dear's to -_queezm , zan ' a w --- 4's. r,<h a ito i-c4uas"oo$'Aryl"s.
