Mabusth added that it was <br />also located on higher elevations. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Lindquist moved, Berg seconded, to approve the two street setback variances with the <br />condition that the applicant be responsible for providing an updated survey locating <br />approved family room addition upon application for a building permit. <br />Peterson asked to include that the addition would be the limit for additional structure on <br />the property agreeing that the setback was appropriate to the neighborhood. <br />Vote: Ayes 7, Nays 0. <br />Mabusth said the applicant has asked the application to be presented at the June 24 <br />Council meeting. <br />( #6) #2141 ROBERTA J. ROTH, 1251 BRIAR STREET - VARIANCES - PUBLIC <br />HEARING - 8:08 -8:15 P.M. <br />•The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />The Applicant was present. <br />Mabusth reported that the property is located in the Crystal Bay neighborhood. The <br />application involves a setback variance for a proposed detached garage. The garage <br />would be single stall at 1.6'x20' and a back -out apron to be located 2' from unimproved <br />Minnetonka Avenue. If the garage were to be located 8' into the yard with gravel drive, it <br />would result in the loss of trees. <br />Stoddard asked if it was the City's intent to make any improvements to Minnetonka <br />Avenue. Mabusth reported that at the time of the French Creek subdivision, the posibility <br />of a through road was considered but neighbors objected. Response times for emergency <br />vehicles were found to be adequate using existing county roads. Mabusth said there was <br />no intention of the City to extend the roadway noting the 20' commons outlot. Mabusth <br />said the French Creek Homeowners Association has installed high berms with landscaping, <br />and the City has received no negative comments from the property owners notified. <br />Mabusth reported that the shoreline of French Lake was located in an earlier application <br />and that property is located within 500 -1000' of French Lake. 35% hardcover is allowed, <br />• and the applicant's property is well below that amount. There are no structural coverage <br />issues. <br />8 <br />
