The applicant is requesting a 9 foot front yard variance. Staff is recommending a 5 foot front yard variance to be consistent with adjacent property setbacks.

The Planning Commission was asked to discuss the proposal and give their ideas as far as feasibility and whether or not the developer should pursue the PUD process at this time. After an explanation of the development from Planner Tooker, the Planning Commission discussed priorities with the sewer and water and decided that the existing areas serviced by sewer and water should be used before any additional land is approved for development. THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY Next item on the agenda was Denny McWilliams Public Hearing. The replat of this addition is due to the error that was made or. the original plat. The entrance onto County Road 83 was moved eastward for better traffic control and sight distances. Tl:e City Engineer has approved the reallignment. Questions were raised about the feasibility of the street heading to County Road 83 through a cul -de -sac. There could also be problems with snow plowing. Motion was made by Cavill to table the matter until the cul -de -sac and Marsh Street can be worked out with staff. The meeting is to be continued on August 4, 1977 at 8:45 P.M. seconded by Hafermann and upon a vote taken, motion carried. Next item on the agenda was a subdivision discussion for Gordy Hennen. Planner Tooker gave a presentation on the proposed subdivision. Square footage of the lots was discussed. Thorkelson stated that there are some questions on some of the lots but the overall plan looked good. Next item on the agenda was Centennial Addition subdivision public hearing. Centennial Addition is located at the end and south of Centennial Street. The subdivision consists of three lots and is approximately 2 acres. 'There is a house on lot one of the proposed subdivision. There is sewer and water.. - available to the subdivision with the road being gravel. The dedicated street in this plat is a 50 foot road which also serves as a sewer and water easement. When the land north of this addition is subdivided the other half of the cul -de -sac would have to be dedicated. This street could be continued westward to connect with Dr. Olson's property and then eventually to Highway 13. Lots 2 and 3 have severe topographical problems and would need regrading prior to building. Also lots two anti three would have to share one sewer and water stub. Dr. Olson stated that he doe- not wish to be landlocked in any sense. He also stated he was not informel of the bearing and is concerned about dead - ending Centennial Street. Mayor Stock stated that in an area where there is property that will be landlocked the developer is always responsible for extending the roadway to the end of their property. Motion was made by Cavill to approve the preliminary plat with Centennial Street going to the end of the property seconded by Hafermann and upon a vote taken motion duly passed. Next item on the agenda was a variance for Mr. Burce Ericson. The parcel is approximately 130' x 300' with an existing year -round hone. From the middle of the lot to the lake is about a 30 foot drop with the house situated' at the higher elevation of the lot. The applicant is proposing to construct the garage as close as possible to the north property line in order to preserve the half moon drivew::.y. The lot to the north has a home on it but situated about 80 feet closer to the lake than the applicants. There is more than adequate room between the applicants home and the road to situate a garage without a variance. The lot is not unique as compared to the adjacent lots and it would not be a hardship to build on this lot. Motion was made by Hafermann to deny the variance request because there is no hardship involved and the commission did not want to set a precedence for granting the request, seconded by Cavill and upon a vote taken the variance was denied. Last item on the agenda was a proposed work program for the planning commission in working out the comprehensive plan. Mr. Tooker explained that the synopsis was from the Metropolitan Council and they are item that the Council would like to see happen. Motion was made by Hafermann to encourage the planning staff to go ahead with the Comprehensive Plan seconded by Cavill, upon a vote taken, motion carried.
