PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES
JANUARY 3, 1991
The January 3, 1991, Planning Commission Meeting was called to
order by Chairman Arnold at 7:30 P.M. Those present were
Commissioners Loftus, Arnold, Roseth, Director of Planning Horst
Graser, Associate Planner Steve Hess, and Secretary Rita Schewe.
ITEM I - REVIEW MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING
MOTION BY LOFTUS, SECOND BY ROSETH, TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS
WRITTEN.
Vote taken signified ayes by Loftus, Arnold, and Roseth. MOTION
CARRIED.
Commissioners Wells and Kedrowski arrived at 7:33 p.m.
ITEM II - DAVID HUNT - VARIANCE
David Hunt, 4005 Pleasant, Minneapolis, has a purchase agreement
on the property at 4580 Lords Street and is requesting a 55'
Lakeshore variance to construct a deck and addition on the
residence. The addition would increase the value and appearance
of the home to coincide with the neighborhood.
Horst Graser presented the information as per memo of January 3,
1991. The lots on Lords Island were not platted but divided by
meets and bounds and the lot in question is very shallow. The
home was built in the 1960's and was constructed parallel to the
road. The 904 contour of the lake encroaches upon the lot in
such a manner as to create a triangular shaped building area.
All homes in the area would need variances under current
standards, as the lots are substandard. No comments were
received from the DNR. Staff's recommendation is to approve the
application as submitted as it does meet with the character of
the neighborhood, would improve the value and appearance of the
property, give the owner the opportunity to enjoy lake benefits
and that hardship is caused by the irregular lot shape and legal
non - conforming setback of the existing home.
Comments from the Commissioners were on square footage of
existing home, tree removal, neighbors approval, and all were in
agreement of the variance application.

MOTION BY ROSETH, SECOND BY KEDROWSKI, TO APPROVE A 55 FOOT
LAKESHORE VARIANCE TO CONSTRUCT A DECK AND HOME ADDITION TO 4580
LORDS STREET, RATIONALE BEING THAT THE CONSTRUCTION WOULD ADHERE
TO THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, ADD VALUE TO THE PROPERTY,
THERE ARE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES DUE TO THE LOT SHAPE AND
SIZE AND NON- CONFORMING SETBACK OF THE HOME, THE PROPERTY OWNER
HAS TRIED TO MINIMIZE THE VARIANCE REQUEST, AND IT WOULD NOT BE
DETRIMENTAL TO THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY.
Vote taken signified ayes by Roseth, Kedrowski, Wells, Arnold,
and Loftus. MOTION CARRIED.
Discussion followed on the Retreat. An agenda will be presented
