At this time a 10 minute recess was called. The meeting resumed at 9:20 P.M. ITRM VI _ VARLB210E REQUEST BY STEVE McDONA D Steve McDonald, representative for William McDonald, commented that the request is for a 36.5 foot front yard variance for 4377 Quincy Street S.E. to construct a 1500 square foot single family home. Due to the County taking Tract B of the parcel there is not sufficient room to build without a variance. City Planner Grazer commented per memo dated 4 -2-87 regarding the 36.5 foot front yard variance next to County Road 21. The applicant is eligible for one building permit for the entire 2.5 acre parcel. The building envelope on the south side of Quincy Street is too restrictive for a home to be built without variance. There is sufficient property available north of Quincy to build a home. MINUTES OF THE PRIOR LAKE PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 2, 1987 Residents were opposed to the variance for the following reasons: due to safety factors along County Road 21, location of the home south of Quincy Street, obstruction of view, setting a variance precedent, and because the structure would be out of alignment with other hones along County Road 21. The Planning Commissioners felt the application should reflect the entire parcel not just the land available south of Quincy Street since the entire parcel is eligible for only one permit. The Commissioners felt that an adequate building envelope was available on the site north of Quincy Street and therefore, there is no justification for a variance. Jack @igberg spoke on behalf of the applicant. He felt the hardship was that the applicant had invested in the property and can no longer build on the parcel without variance due to the taking of land by Scott County. MOTION BY ARNCW TO DENY THE 36.5 POUF FRONT YARD VARIANCE FOR 4377 QUINCY STREET S.E. TO COUSIN= A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.

Tory Thelen, contractor, commented that the variance was requested so that the hone can be aligned with existing homes. Elece Shoquist commented that if they had known the problem before they bought the lot it could have been worked out.
