�i Minutes of the regular Planning Commission meeting, Monday, Play 20, 1974. claims that it would be a hardship to him to have to comply with the 5 acre minimum lot size, and, therefore, a variance would be appropriate. A contour map was to be provided before the next Planning Commission Meeting to allow a better determination as to where the best location might be for the lot line. Kullberg moved, Curtis seconded, that a Public Hearing be sched- uled for June 17, 1974. Ayes (8) Nays (0). Mr. Hollander, at the present time, has a garage that is located right on the road right -of -way. Mr. Hollander has submitted plans to relocate a new garage 22' from the North Arm Drive right-of-way. The plan indicates an irregular shaped structure which would in- fringe on the 75' setback requirement from the lake.. If that portion of the garage is a deck, then no variance is necessary, but if it is part�of the garage, a variance would have to be granted from that portion of the ordinance. VanNest moved, Kull - berg seconded, that a variance be approved as it would be an im- provement in the existing conditions with the stipulation that no portion of the structure be located closer than 75' to the lake and that the existing garage be removed within 30 days after the completion of the new garage. Ayes (8) Nays (0). The Zoning Administrator informed the Planning Commission that the Gagne project was placed on the agenda as an informational item and that no action should be taken until the comprehensive plan, or more specifically, the Plan Study Area for the property involved, is completed. Chairman VanNest informed the petition- er that the extension of the Hackberry sewer line had been de- leted from the present sewer project, and, therefore, the only possibility for their proposal is to run their sewage through the existing sewer line through Long Lake. The Zoning Adminis- trator was instructed to find out if capacity was available in the sewer line, and if so, how many uniis could be handled on the existing line. Mr. Nielson and Mr. Gagne suggested to-the Plan- ning Commission that they consider allowing approval of this project in stages so that they could get started as soon as pos- sible. Present plans call for starting the residential portion of the project first which would include apartments and townhouses across from the school complex. Curtis moved, Guthrie seconded, that this application be tabled until the Planning Commission can determine if sewer is available and until the comprehensive plan is completed. Ayes (8) Nays (0).
