Driscoll <br /> stated he would need to look at the area closer to see whether the building would fit. <br /> Jurgens stated he would like the applicant to consider redesigning the plan. <br /> Kempf stated another option would be to reduce the size of the building by nine feet,which would still <br /> give the country club significant storage. <br /> Leslie inquired whether the Planning Commission should discuss expansion of the current <br /> nonconforming structure. <br /> Rahn stated he would prefer a design that does not encroach further into the setback. <br /> Bremer indicated she would be in favor of the variance to allow a single building to be larger than <br /> 3000 square feet but not in favor of increasing the encroachment into the setback. <br /> Jurgens indicated he would also be in favor of that. <br /> Rahn inquired whether the applicant would like the Planning Commission to proceed forward on that <br /> basis or table the application. <br /> Driscoll stated he would like the Planning Commission to proceed forward. <br /> Rahn moved,Fritzler seconded,to recommend denial of the accessory building setback <br /> variance and to recommend approval of the accessory building area variance to allow a single <br /> building to be larger than 3000 square feet and to allow the total area of all accessory buildings <br /> to be greater than 6000 square feet for the Wayzata Country Club,430 Long Lake Road,with <br /> the understanding that any new addition will expand the nonconforming structure but not in a <br /> nonconforming location.
