Peterson stated they attenq>t^ to relocate the house, but die situation with <br />the sanitary sewer did not allow them to relocate the house very fiur. <br />Rahn stated in his view the garage could possibly be relocated out of the wetland area if the garage were <br />redesigned and attached to the home. <br />Peterson stated the garage was stacked to lessen the footprint. Peterson stated due to die elevations of <br />the land, the garage was located slightly away from the house. <br />Rahn stated in his view a four-car garage is not a necessity. <br />Hawn stated the Applicants in her view have done a fairly good job at designing the house and garage <br />given the fact that they were unaware of the wedand constraints. <br />Kluth commented they were also faced with the laws being changed. Kluth noted they are doing <br />wedand mitigation. Kluth stated he has a problem with constructing the driveway in its present <br />location. <br />Carter stated they will avoid constructing the driveway over the lift station. <br />Mabusth noted the Planning Commission does not have a copy of the wedand delineation, and inquired <br />what type of a wetland is on this property. <br />Weinberger stated it is a Type 3. <br />Mabusth commented it would be nice if the City could give a little leeway on the IS feet from die sewer <br />line to the residence. <br />Weinberger stated Staff can review that prior to this application going to Council. <br />Fritzler slated in his view the garage should be located a little closer to the house, with only one curb cut <br />being allowed. <br />Kluth agreed with Fritzler. <br />Rahn inquired how the garage would be sun>orted in the wedands. <br />Peterson stated there would be pilings in the wetlands. <br />Rahn commented he personally feels the land alteration on this site is excessive and that it was designed <br />to the old standards. <br />Mabusth inquired whether a preliminary grading plan has been conqileted. <br />PAGE 11
