The owners of Reed's Island would build on the highest grand area since filling and grading would be very difficult and expensive. There is an old foundation, 40 -45 years old, that could possibly be built on, therefore a variance is needed since the area to build on would be close to the water line. Also, since the insurance laws are very strict, the owners of Reed's Island would keep the use private and orderly. Assistant City Planner Garross commented per memo dated June 16, 1988. City Planner Graser commented that the concerns of the City Attorney are on zoning, actual use of the island under R-1 district in the shoreland management district, the intense use of the island during the summer months, rules of the association, parking on the mainland, and number of boats at one time on the island. Mr. Graser's recommendation w be to continue this item to July 7, 1988 so input from the City Attorney can be received. The audience had concerns over use of the island, intensity of the district, commercial verses residential, noise, boat traffic, safety, and fire control. The Planning C:maissioners commented on specific use in an R-1 district, 5 owners now and selling shares to 20-25 more people, seasonal cabin, number of boat slips, sleeping facilities, additional decks, security, safety, DNR comments on docks, and becoming a stop over place for anyone.

SIGN VARIANCE REDDER FOR AMOCO Mark Windson, Northstar Engineering Consultants, commented that the request for a sign variance is due to: 1. Formerly, there were two buildings on the site, and one was removed. Therefore, they should be allowed one, large, high, sign for the two small ones allowed before. 2. The realignment of County Road 21 and State Trunk Highway 13 hinders the right in/right out direction of cars. PLANNING OOMMISSION MINUMS JUNE 16, 1988 3. The visibility of the sign needs to be high so motorists have enough time to see it for turn lanes. 4. The old sign now will be blocked by the canopy. 5. The new sign will be moved back behind the trees and curve, therefore a high sign is needed for motorists to see it. City Planner Graser commented per memo dated June 16, 1988, The Planning Commissioners discusepd this variance request with regard to hardship, height of the sign, setting a precedent, right in/right out traffic pattern, hours of operation, and illumination of the sign.

Therefore they are requesting a variance from the 10,000 square foot requirement to 9,000 square foot building envelope.

(872) 447.4230 4629 DAKOTA STREET S.E. PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372 PRIOR LAKE PLANNING COMMISSION MINUr S JUNE 2, 1588 The audience comments were in regard to drainage, type of house, addition of garage, and what happens with buildable lots in the Shoreland District. Assistant City Planner Garross commented per memo dated June 2, 1988. Also, Ms. Garross stated that she received a phone call from Mildred Borchardt, area resident, in opposition to the variance request due to density of the area. Commissioner Arnold excused himself at this time to attend wake services for Councilman Larson's son. The Planning Commissioners discussed the request for a variance from the required square footage for shoreland district, and felt that the City Council should set policy and that the Commissioners are there to carry policies out. However, they feel it isn't fair to the property owners who have been paying taxes on a buildable lot but to set a precedent at this time would be detrimental. ;DT M BY ROBOTS, SB00N0ED BY MER00a, TO RHCOMMW TD CITY a"= TIAT THE HEARING PROCESS BE INITIA'T'ED TO CONSIDER SCBBTAMDARD IM SIZE IN WE SHOSELA1D DISTRICT.
