<br />Regular meeting <br />October 10, 2005 <br /> <br />Mr. Bowser said that the outside of the Sutter-Meyer house gives you the visual of the <br />historic landmark. If someone purchased the vacant lot and built a structure on it, the <br />view of the Sutter-Meyer house would be blocked and it would lose a lot of its <br />significance. This lot has never had any building on it and it could be of interest <br />archeologically. He would encourage the City to quickly purchase this property. <br /> <br />Ms. Brot thanked the speakers for their support and again wanted to emphasize the <br />importance of purchasing this lot. <br /> <br />Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel <br />She said that what she had to speak on was covered pretty well. Ms. Glickert said that <br />this was the home of her maternal family, who were conservators for 100 years. She <br />gave a brief history and said that it would be nice if the people of this generation could <br />see how modestly people lived in previous generations. The adjacent lot is virgin <br />territory. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe motioned to have City Manager start negotiations to purchase this vacant lot <br />and to get an appraisal of this property and was seconded by Ms. Welsch. The motion <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM #11 - Approval of Site Plan for Condo-Apartments at 6404 Cates <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff said the proposal was for a four-story, eight-unit elevator apartment <br />building and all ordinance requirements were met. Conditions were that landscaping be <br />installed and all utilities be placed underground or screened. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner motioned for approval and was seconded by Ms. Brot. <br /> <br />Ms. Welsch asked about the variance given. Mr. Ollendorff said there were three <br />variances give. One for Lot area, second for lot width, and third for side yard. Mr. <br />Ollendorff did not have the specifics with him. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams said that the owner was present and could be asked the specifics. <br /> <br />Ms. Brot wanted to know the type of financing being used. She asked Mr. Ollendorff if it <br />was all private financing used and he agreed. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams asked representative, Kenneth Schaeffler, Project Manager from The <br />Clayton Engineering Co, 11920 Westline Industrial Dr. to speak on the variances given. <br />Mr. Schaeffler said the property was rated under HR, High Density Residential, side <br />yard was granted at five feet and the minimum lot width is 100 and our property is 80 <br />feet wide, minimum requirement for lot area was 20,000 square feet and ours is at <br />10,175 square feet. <br /> <br />Page 12 <br />
