Site remediation would be required prior to issuance of a building <br /> permit. She stated the lot is located within a small neighborhood zoned for 2 acre lots and that many <br /> of the lots on Crestview Avenue and Tonka Avenue are substantially under the required 2 acres and <br /> require variance approval to do virtually any improvement. Gundlach indicated that .5 acre standards <br /> have been applied in the past. When applied to this lot, .5 acre setback standards are met or <br /> exceeded. The applicant's plan meets all other requirements for hardcover and structural coverage. <br /> Gundlach recommended approval of the requested variances. <br /> Chair Mabusth invited comments from the applicant. <br /> Ms Wendy Sullivan asked for clarification of the remediation requirement. Gundlach explained it <br /> was a requirement from the Minnesota State Health Department due to the prior methamphetamines <br /> found there when the property was rented out. <br /> Chair Mabusth asked for any public comments. There were none. <br /> Jurgens requested pool and patio setback requirements from staff. Gundlach provided the <br /> information, concluding the proposed pool and patio are compliant with City standards. <br /> Chair Mabusth inquired if there were any lot coverage issues.
