MOTION CARRIED. Recess called at at 7:33 P.M. Meeting recalled to order at 7:35 P.M. ITEM II - WAYNE LUNDGREN - MINIMUM LOT AREA VARIANCE Wayne Lundgren, 14349 Watersedge Trail, stated that they would like to build a single family home on Lot 50 and the East half of Lot 51, Boud ms Manor. As the minimum lot size for non lakeshore lots within the Shoreland District is 10,000 sq. feet and the sub)ect site is 9,366 sq. feet, a 634 sq. foot minimum lot area variance is being requested. Deb Garross presented the information as per the memo of October 19, 1989. DNR was notified of the variance and had no comments. Literal enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance would render the lot unbuildable which would cause a hardship. The hardship has been caused by the adoption of the Shoreland Ordinance and not by the applicant's actions. The applicant has attempted to comply with the setback and coverage ratio requirements. A precedent does exist whereby the City Council granted a 3,536 square foot minimum lot area variance to Lot 34, Boudins Manor on November 7, 1988. Staff recommendation is that the variance be approved. Mark Hyland, 14399 Watersedge Trail stated that the prairie landscaping should be left as is. 4629 Dakota St. S.E..

He also presented a letter stating that his house was built in 1858 and may have historical value and would like to see the subject lot remain vacant and had a signed petition from the neighbors. Pat and Lee Sc,,oenfeld, 14321 Watersedge, opposed the variance as the house is too large for the size of the lot. They felt the house should be smaller and setback from the property lines more. Beverly Lundgren, 14349 Watersedge Trail, stated that the total square footage for the house is 2,771. Becky Fonder, 14329 Rutgers St., is opposed to the variance. They have maintained the empty lot this summer. Comments from the Commissioners: Hardship caused by the adoption of the ordinance, and concerns on the trees being removed. Mark Hyland stated that no one knew the lot was for sale or it could possibly have been bought by the neighbors. Wayne Lundgren was called upon to state what his plans are for the lot, also said house is not being built for speculation. Lee Schoenfeld, 14321 Watersedge Trail, felt the Lundgrens were buying the lot as speculation. Beverly Lundgren, 14349 Watersedge Trail, said they did not buy for speculation but have planned ahead as a home for their elderly parents or for themselves to live with their son in the future.

ITEM II - DANIEL KLAMM - FRONT YARD VARIANCE Daniel Klamm, 4130 - 140th St. N.E. Prior Lake, stated that he is applying for a 56' front yard variance in order to add a 6 way to the front of his existing home. Gary Schmitz presented the information as per memo of October 5, 1989. Due to an error in measurements on the applicants original variance proposal, Mr. Klamm is now requesting a 56' front yard variance. The Planning Commission granted the applicant a 50' variance so that he could begin construction on the sides and rear of the home at the September 21, 1989, Planning Commission meeting. A letter from Brad Larson, Scott County Engineer, stated they had no objections to the variance. Staff's recommendation is to approve the variance as hardship has been caused by changes in the county road requirements. The setback was 50' when the house was built in 1965 and now is 150 Comments from the Commissioners were, as this matter had been reviewed previously and regulations had been changed since the house was built, no objections were raised. 4629 Dakota St. S.E..
