ITEM y - PUBLIC HEARING _ RRjaLLNM City Planner Graser commented that the Public Hearing should be continued to April 16, 1987 at 9:00 P.M. due to lateness of the hour. At this time a 10 minute recess was called. The meeting resumed at 9:20 P.M. ITEM yI - xiDUEST BY cmvF w.nrvmr.n 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 Graser 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 varia: -e. There is sufficient property available north of Quincy to build a home. MWNES 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 Caand.ssioners 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 Comaissioners 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 Engberg spoke on behalf of the applicant. He felt the hardship was that the applicant had invested in the property and can no linger build on the parcel without variance due to the taking of land by Scott County. MOTION BY ARNOLD TO DENY THE 36.5 FOOT FRONT YARD VARIANCE FOR 4377 QUINCY STREET S.H. TO ORbTRULT A SINGLE FAMILY HOME. THERE IS PROPERTY NORTH OF QUINCY STREET WHERE A HOUSE CAN BE CONSTRUCTED WITHOUT VARIANCE THEREFORE THERE IS NO HARDSHIP, SECONDED BY LOFTUS. Upon a vote taken, ayes by Arnold, Redrawski, Loftus, Hvseth, Wellsi the motion passed unanimously. At this time a two minute recess was called. The meeting resumed at 10:25 P.M. *The tape of this hearing will be kept on file in the office of the City Planner. Chairman Loftus turned the gavel over the Vice Chairman Roseth due to personal interest in the next item. Mr. Loftus left the meeting. ITBN VII - VARIANCE RBO[D36T BY DANIEL SHCOUIST Daniel Shoquist commented on the variance request. City Planner Graser commented per memo 4 -2-87. Tway Thelen, contractor, commented that the variance was requested so that the home 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. At this time Vice Chairman Roseth read a letter from Leanne Overbee and entered it into the record. The Planning Commissioners felt when the applicant bought the home from the developer they should have checked for setbacks, codes, restrictions and covenants.
