MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 17, 1988 ZONING PILE #1323-PAPAS CONTINUED It was moved by Planning Commission member Hanson, seconded by Planning Commission member Bellows, to recommend approval of this application, per staff recommendations. Hanson cited the hardship as being the fact that there was no other reasonable location in which to build the deck. Motion, Ayes=2, Nays=5. Mr. Papas asked what harm a deck would have with regard to runoff. Kelley replied that the comprehensive plan called for preservation of Lake Minnetonka. The best way to do that is to control the quality and quantity of the runoff into the Lake by leaving the ground uncovered so it can absorb as much water as possible. Kelley added that the Planning Commission was just a recommending body for the City Council. The City Council can overturn any recommendation from the Planning Commission. Planning Commission member Bellows asked Mr. Papas if there was any way that the deck could be built off to the side. Gaffron stated that there was approximately 18' from the east side lot line to the house. Mr. Papas stated that there really was no room there. Bellows asked how many feet above grade was the deck? Gaffron replied approximately 1-1/2'. Bellows suggested building the deck without a rail, then only the hardcover variance would be necessary. It was moved by Planning Commission member Cohen, seconded by Planning Commission member Brown, to recommend denial of this application, because of the need to be consistent when dealing with hardcover in the 0-75' zone. Motion, Ayes=5, Hanson and Bellows Nay. Motion passed. 11326 RONALD D. LAUER 200 WAYZATA BOULEVARD CLASS II PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING The !affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were duly nrced. The applicant was present for this matter. Asistant Planning 6 Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained that this application involved the creation of a 2-acre building site from a portion of the Wayzata Country Club property. Chairman Kelley stated that the most important issue with this application was drainage. He asked Gaffron to show where drainage occurred. Kelley then asked where the runoff went once it passed the south lot line. Gaffron stated that some drainage occured to the west and some to the south. Bellows and Cohen disagreed, stating they believed the d-=inage flowed east. Gaffron stated that the drainage running off of the property could be channeled so it would not have a significant effect on the Hauser property.
