ITEM V - DON AMID SHARON IVERSON VARIANCE REQUEST Sharon Iverson eonmented that they need a 5' west side yard variance for Lot 12 Block 2 North Shore Crest for aesthetic purposes since the garage would be in the middle of the lot unless moved over 5 feet.

The Planning Camnissioners discussed this item. NOTION BY REDRCNSRU, SECONDED BY WELLS, TO APPROVE A 5 FOOT WEST SIDE YARD VARIANCE FOR LOT 12, BLOCC 2, NORTH SHORE CREST, SINCE THIS REQUEST IS SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS REQUESTS FOR LOTS OF SUBSTANDARD DIMENSION AMID THE VARIANCE WCILD NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE GENERAL WELFARE, HEALTH OR PROPERTY VALUES OF THE COMMUNITY.

ITEM VI - CHARLES YOE MTVOELST VARIANCE REQUEST Charles Yourgvorst commented that he is executor of his mother's estate and would like to acquire 2 building permits for Lots 30, 31, 32 and Part of Lot 33 Lakeside Park. There was a replatting and 2 buildable lots of 13,000 and 14,000 square feet and 2 separate PID numbers were assigned to this property in 1986. But due to the new Shoreland Management District single family waterfront lots in the shorelard district is 15,000 square feet and 2 abutting substandard lots under the same ownership must be combined. However, if this would be the case here a loss of $40,000 in joining the lots would by a hardship. Since 906 of the single family properties on the lake are less than 15,000 square feet this request would not be out of character. Since there is a buyer for one of the properties, time is a relative element here. Also this new law is discriminatory in who is affected. A recent variance request by the Hedberg's was granted and that was a similar situation. City Planner Graser ommnented per memo dated May 19, 1988. Also the Hedberg variance was a lot split and variance combination which made that different than this situation. The Planning Commissioners were divided in their feelings on this item. This is a controversial issue and since the City Council is holding a workshop on Tuesday, May 24, 1988 to discuss substandard Lakeshore lots a oDntin•-jation would be desirable.

Upon a vote taken, ayes by Arnold, Redrowski, Loftus, Roseth, Wells; the motion passed unanimously. ITEM VII - DISCUSSION BY MATT NIELSON, SAVAGE CITY PLANNER Matt Nielson discussed the long range planning, transportation, and anticipated development in a westerly direction, both north and south of County Road 42. The City of Savage is processing approximately 400 housing permits per year compared to Prior Lake's 150. The anticipated growth pattern for the City of Savage is in a westerly direction and will impact Prior Lake in terms of additional students in Prior Lake School District 719 and added traffic on County Road 42 and 13. Mr. Nielson explained that Savage is in the process of reviewing their Comprehensive Plan and zoning regulations. mere are no specific policies which address development along the intersection of Highway 13 and 42, however, it is anticipated that some type of intensive commercial use will be likely at that intersection. There are concerns with congestion and safety in all 3 corners of County Road 42 and 13. Therefore, a joint communication effort between Savage and Prior Lake is important regarding development along County Load 42 and State Highway 13. Chairman Roseth thanked Mr. Nielson and presented him with a Prior Lake lapel pin, paper weight, and thank you card.
