A description of the areas features and planned amenities were presented. Although detail is missing in some areas, this opportunity can be taken to discuss and hopefully settle the final design of the site. Larry Anderson, City Engineer, gave a brief summary of the Engineering Department's memo. The grading plan needs to be revised to save the existing trees as much as possible. Erosion control is essential adjacent to the pond. All issues are resolvable and the developer is in the process of addressing concerns of the Engineering Department. Bill Mangan, Director of Parks, stated that the proposal is close to being acceptable. There are some lots that should be realigned. A neighborhood park is very essential in this area. The park land dedication requirement would be approximately 7.13 acres which would satisfy the requirement for Wood Ridge Estates. Mike Giles, Lakeville, had comments on the grading plan, trees lost and Mushtown Road. Larry Anderson stated that these plans were what the Development's Engineer presented. A recess was called at 8:45 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 8:50 P.M. All commissioners were in concurrence with the Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

ITEM III - GREG SCHRADER - VARIANCE (CONTINUED) Greg Schrader, 5308 Candy Cove Trail, stated that he has revised his building plan and the only variance needed is a 18.5 foot front yard variance. He will construct a 9 X 22 foot addition to the existing garage. Deb Garross presented the information as per memo of June 20, 1991. The application has been revised from the 23 foot front yard and 8.5 foot side yard variance that was before the Planning Commission on June 6, 1991. After conferring with the Director of Planning and the Building Official, the applicant revised his plan. Part of the legal non - conforming structure will be retained and an addition of 9 X 22 feet will be added to the westerly part of the garage. This proposal eliminates the ne d for a side yard variance due to the grandfathered setback established by the existing garage. Recommendation from Staff is to approve the 18.5 front yard variance. Hardship is due to the substandard lot size and development practices of a former government and is not the result of the applicant or the City of Prior Lake. A letter from Dick Lewin was read into the minutes, stating he had no objections to the construction. Comments from the Commissioners were on closeness of buildings, drainage, site line, and installation of gutters.

RATIONALE BEING THAT HARDSHIP IS CAUSED BY THE LOT BEING A SUBSTANDARD LOT AND THE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES OF A FORMER GOVERNMENT. GUTTERS FOR DRAINAGE CONTROL SHALL BE INSTALLED ON THE GARAGE AS REQUESTED BY THE BUILDING OFFICIAL. Vote taken signified ayes by Kedrowski, Roseth, Arnold, and Loftus. MOTION CARRIED. MOTION BY KEDROWSKI, SECOND BY LOFTUS, TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. Vote taken signified ayes by Kedrowski, Loftus, Arnold, and Loftus. MOTION CARRIED. Meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.

Schewe Director of Planning Recording Secretary Y k l k J / ( "CELEBRATE PRIOR LAKE'S CENTENNIAL - 1991" "VA11PR" PLANNING REPORT SUBJECT: LOT AREA VARIANCE APPLICANT: MARK DANES SITE ADDRESS: 2948 TERRACE CIRCLE PRESENTER: DEB GARROSS, ASSISTANT CITY PLANNER PUBLIC HEARING: YES X NO DATE: JULY 11, 1991 HISTORY BACKGROUND The Panning Department received an application for variance from Mark Danes of 5330 Crossandra Street, Prior Lake. The application is for a 2,900 square foot minimum lot area variance from the 10,000 square foot lot area requirement to build a home at 2948 Terrace Circle as proposed on the attached survey. See attached maps and materials for reference to this item. PREVI PROPOSALS This tract was administratively divided in 1983 prior to the improvement of Terrace Circle. Lots 4 and 5, Block 24, Spring Lake Townsite were re- divided in order to provide access from Center Road to both parcels. The subject site is a legal non - conforming lot of record which contains 7,100 square feet and measures 71 x 100 feet. The site is a corner lot which fronts on unimproved Center Road and Terrace Circle. There are no other permits or information on file for this property. PHYSIOGRAPHY• The lot is vacant and contains weeds, volunteer tree growth and some debris. The applicant proposes minimal regrading as indicated on the attached survey. The grading will likely destroy the tree cover on the lot which consists of approximately six, 6 11 and 8 caliper trees and brush. The trees appear to be volunteer growth and are believed to be varieties of elm and cottonwood. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The adjacent properties are fully developed with the exception of one vacant lot located directly across the street to the southeast. The lot is substandard in size and area. Corner lots should contain at least 12,000 square feet and 96 feet of frontage along each front yard. There is a drainage easement across the northerly part of the lot which further restricts development opportunities for this property. RECOMMENDATION: The recommendation from staff is to approve the 2,900 square foot minimum lot area variance subject to the condition that four trees be planted in the yard as per attached "Subdivision Tree 4629 Dakota St. S.E.. Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 447 -4230 / Fax (612) 447 -4245 An Equal Opportunity /Affirmative Action Employer Planting" requirements. The hardship in this case is due to the changes that have occurred in the ordinance since the time that this lot was legally subdivided. The applicant has presented a plan that requires no setback nor lot coverage variances. If the lot area variance is not qranted, this lot would be rendered non - buildable. Staff has received verbal comment from Pat Lynch of the DNR who states that there is no opposition to the granting of the requested lot area variance.
