Appeal S-10521, BLM Lots 84 & 85, Section 15 Subdivision with Variance, Clerk's Office. Mr. Tremaine reviewed the issues of the appeal, the subdivision of two lots into two different lots. Assistant Municipal Attorney Dennis Wheeler distributed copies of the applicable Municipal Code citations for the case. Mr. Tremaine noted the petitioner requested a 50-foot vacation to the north and to the east. The Platting Board recommended a 20-foot vacation, leaving a 30-foot public easement in each direction. The petitioner did not mention the north vacation, but continues to request a 50-foot vacation to the east, on Jupiter Drive. Mr. Tremaine noted the Platting Board considered several factors, including traffic circulation. Traffic is appropriate for the north vacation, but not for Jupiter. Jupiter, a north/south street, begins on Abbott Loop Road and ends in publicly-owned property which is contiguous with Ruth Arcand Park. He said the south end of lot 85 is steep and probably will not support a developed trail, but there will be some public use; there is a game trail crossing that parcel.
