from people coming out of the pro shop. Mr. Bouschard reviewed what would take place once the changes are made. Mr. Young commented that they are just trying to create a better appearance for the city owned facility. R. Tallon motion to approve Springvale Golf Club of 5871 Canterbury Road, which consists of phase #2 (New Clubhouse). The proposal will go before the Architectura] Review Board and not return unless there are major changes required. It will then go straight to Council. The motion was seconded by K. O'Rourke and unanimously approved. Motion Cara-ied. N. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: l. Olmsted-Kronz Lot Split & Consolidation Plat Proposed splitting of Permanent Parcel # 234-26-011 (Block "E") at the Northwest corner of the Mackenzie Rd. and Windsor Dr. intersection. Chairman Tallon called all interested parties forward. Mr. Kronz came forward to review what wouId be taking place. Three years ago he approached the City about purchasing this ]and as wel] as the old wastewater treatment land. The City sold him 213 feet of the rear of lot 234-26-01 l, which is 588 feet deep as well as the old wasfewater treatment lot. The reason he purchased the land is to eventually build a home. He suggested that he is in the process of trying to purchase part of the parcel of land owned by the McCoo]'s, which is in between the two pieces of land he has purchased. Once the third piece of land is purchased he will combine all the land into one parcel and build a home. The plan is to build one home for his family on the parcel. Mr. Tallon questioned if the applicant currently owned any of the McCool land. He further questioned if the applicant knew that the rear lot, which he purchased, was landlocked and even by purchasing this piece of land it will still be landlocked. Both pieces of land that you have purchased are considered unbuildable right now. Mr. Kronz indicated that he understood. Mr. Tallon questioned if the applicant had already purchased the other two pieces of land. Mr. Kronz indicated that he has an agreement with the City and the money is in escrow until the City splits the 213 feet of land from parcel 234-26-01 l. Mr. Tallon cornmented that the board was not in the habit of creating unbuildable lots. However, Mr. Kronz has purchased one unbuildable lot to the south and is purchasing another portion of an unbuildable lot. .The unbuildable lot before this board tonight also has a right-of-way for sewers owned by the City, which can not be built on. Mr. Tallon asked the Assistant Law Director to clarify the issue for the audience. Mr. Dubelko indicated that it was his understanding that the city entered into a contract with Mr. Kronz, which was approved by City Council and signed by the Mayor June 21, 2000. The deed is in escrow and the Planning Commission really does not have any discretion in the matter, as they are a recoinmending body to Council, which has already approved this sale. It creates two lots that are presently unbuildable; the new owner is taking them with that understanding. He has no access to the rear parcel, which renders it unbuildable, and the front parcel is unbuildable because of its geographical dimensions and the easement that runs across it. Mr. Kronz is purchasing this parcel with knowledge from the City that it can not be built upon unless he acquires back land from the McCool family. Mr. Kronz answered "that is correct". Mr. Dubelko suggested that this has been going on for a year due to unforeseen circumstances. Make no mistake this is a done deal. City Council has already sold this land. Mrs. O'Rourke questioned who would own parcel B. Mr. 4
