had made changes in the layout of their plat to accommodate future road
locations using existing right-of ways which would have to be widened
to meet current city standards and that all of the three neighbors and

20,000 square feet or more. This leaves 68 lots with from 15,000 to 20,000
square feet and that the average lot size for the entire plat excluding

the developer.

original plat and Mr. Dale answered that there were 20.
Dorothy Odlund asked about the need for city parks in the area.
Mr. Dale stated that the Park and Rec. Committee had not made their final
recommendation but that it was his understanding that they were. going to
recommend cash only from the developer because of the terrain and lack of
a suitable area within the plat to construct active recreation uses.
Mrs. Bekken asked about the possibility of extending sewer.. and water through
the plat to serve areas around Orchard Lake.
LeRoy Nyhus presented a slide presentation showing alternatives he had inves-
tigated in a report made for the Planning Commission.
Mr. Robert Rystrom who lives on 172nd Street asked if his property on 172nd
Street would have to be assessed for sewer and water in order for the plat
to be served with sewer and water. The engineer answered that under-one
of his alternatives it would be but under another alternative his property
would not have to be involved in a sewer and water project in order for this
plat to receive utility service.
The discussion centered on the utility system for the :entire area and the
cost for serving the plat as well as the entire Orchard Lake system. The
engineer stated that he did not have a break-down of each component of the
alternatives he had presented in his report but could have it available for
the next Planning Commission meeting..

and revert to single family residence and would construct single family
homes.
Mr. Knutson stated that the matter could be handled in that way through the
