MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> JULY 17, 2000 <br /> • <br /> (#2600 BRIAN KERBER, Continued) <br /> Kluth stated he would recommend denying this application based on no hardship being <br /> demonstrated. <br /> Nygard commented in his view Hennepin County did not demonstrate a hardship either. <br /> Kerber stated that was one example he was going to raise. <br /> Stoddard stated he would like to see the size of the building reduced somewhat. <br /> Kerber indicated he would be willing to reduce the size of the pole barn to 60' by 36', which <br /> amounts to 2,160 square feet. <br /> Smith commented she would be okay with the 2,160 square feet, with relocation of the two-stall <br /> garage being further back on the lot but outside the 26' setback from the wetland. Smith noted <br /> if the Applicant owned an additional two-tenths of an acre, he would be allowed the next larger <br /> size building. <br /> Kerber stated he would be willing to move the two-stall garage back as far back as possible. <br /> Stoddard commented he would be agreeable to the 2,160 square foot building. <br /> 411 Lindquist indicated he would not be in favor of voting for a building that is in excess of what is <br /> permitted by City Code due to the precedent that it may set. <br /> Kluth commented he would not also not be in favor of voting in support of a pole barn in excess <br /> of what is permitted due to the precedent that would be set despite the vote by the City Council on <br /> the Hennepin County application. <br /> Smith moved, Nygard seconded,to recommend approval of Application #2600, Brian <br /> Kerber, 740 Orchard Park Road, granting of a variance to permit construction of a <br /> pole barn no greater than 2,160 square feet, and to grant a variance to permit relocation <br /> of the two-stall garage within the side street lot line, with the understanding that the <br /> Applicant will relocate the garage as far back as possible and still remain outside of the <br /> 26' wetland setback to allow the garage to be more closely aligned with the proposed new <br /> accessory structure. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 2, Lindquist and Kluth Opposed. <br /> Lindquist indicated he voted in opposition to the motion because no hardship inherent to the land <br /> has been demonstrated. <br /> Kluth stated he is in agreement with Lindquist. <br /> Smith commented the decision by the City Council on the Hennepin County matter did not affect <br /> her vote on this application. <br /> PAGE 15 <br />
