8:28-8:40
The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing
was noted.
Jim Williams was present for this matter.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained the
requests as follows:
1) Side setback variance to add a second story to
applicants existing house which is 4.2' from the
side lot line, noting that applicant's house is
generally down hill from the affected residence to
the north which is 431 from the lot line, creating
little impact on the affected neighbor (affected
neighbor has not commented on the proposal),
2) Allow 38.9 % hardcover (where normally 30 % is
allowed) variance to construct a 6'xl4' front deck &
stairs and obtain a building permit for the new
garage under construction. Applicant has agreed to
reduce his driveway hardcover to a width of 10' in
order to meet the 3 0 % standard, however, he feels
that reducing the width would cause some problems
with access to the garage. Staff agrees that the
extra width would be preferable.
Bellows stated that a bad access situation was created
with the garage location and feels that staff should
have not allowed applicant to bring this problem on
himself before approval of the building permit.
Mr. Williams stated that he intends to back out of the
garage and driveway onto the road, with no turnaround,
as he has always done in the past.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron noted that Ethel
Avenue is not a high traffic road.
Taylor questioned if consideration in the amount of
hardcover be given in that there are four lots between
the lake and applicants property.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron noted that
drainage from this property is generally away from the
nearest lakeshore.
Goetten stated that if reducing the hardcover to 30%
would not allow applicant to reasonably access the
garage, she would favor granting a hardcover variance of
36.4% (same percentage of hardcover existing prior to
construct i cn of the garago) .

request for a side setback variance to construct a 24x24
attached masonry garage. Side setback proposed at 0-2'
where 301 is normally required. Applicant has already
commenced construction of the slab claiming he was
unaware of the need for a building permit. He further
explained that the survey shows the lot line extremely
close to the rear of the existing slab.
Hanson stated that he did not feel that Planning
Commission could act on this application until a more
detailed survey is submitted.
Bellows stated that she has very negative feelings
toward doing work without permits and stated that she
feels there are alternative sites for the garage based
on the fact that applicant will no longer be using the
existing tuck -under garage as a garage.
Richard Rinehart was present for this matter and stated
that they have looked at alternative sites and found no
better location.

Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained the
request for front and rear setback variances to
construct a residence on a long narrow lot created as
part of Kelley Green in 1978. He noted that the
topography limits the buildable area.
Mr. Shaughnessy stated that that adjacent neighbor
directly south, Heinz Otto, has no objection and prefers
the house configuration as proposed because it actually

Jim Deanovic was present for this matter.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaf.fron explained the
request for a conditional use permit for major grade
changes to the lot (last buildable lot of the Hartwood
Subdivision) to create a suitable flat yard area and
space for the proposed house and pool. As noted in his
memo, the grading as proposed will not create additional
run-off from the property, but will modify the drainage
pattern within the property; and in addition does not
affect the primary or alternate drainf i e ld sates. He
noted that City Engineer Cook has reviewed this
application and generally recommends approval with some
changes and conditions (listed In memo).
Bellows noted that this seems to be a drastic topography
change requiring a great dea 1 of f i 11 to be brought in
and questioned if this is a good practice for future
development.
Planning Commission discussed the issue of berming and
the maximum allowed height.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that based on the
findings cited by Council in the Ulrich application
which referenced the f e::ce or A i nancc, a 3� feet high
berm was considered appropriate for a property on a
minor roadway, 6' maximum height on a property on a
major thoroughfare would probably be appropriate and
deemed consistent with previous action.

Zoning Administrator Mabusth noted that the sign clearly

The issue is the proposed height of a 22' sign where
normally a maximum 8' height is allowed in a residential

Mr. Zitz lof f stated that he contacted other communities
and found that the ci oss portion of the sign would not
be included in height (therefore making the sign
approximately 10' in height excluding the cross area).
He noted that they needed adequate space for a readable

Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained the
two -fold variance request within the 75' lakeshore
setback area 1) to construct a patio and extend the
existing 3' wide catwalk between the porch and bedroom
to allow for a second exit from the existing walk -out
doors off the bedroom. 2) allow the existing 144 s.f.
wood deck which was constructed in the Spring 1986 by
applicant without a permit replacing the 72 s.f.
concrete patio.
Delores Durda was present for this matter along with
their attorney Ray Piirainen,
Mrs. Durda stated that when she had the wood deck
constructed her husband was out of the country and the
contractor told her a permit was not required.
Mr. Piirainen explained the reason for the enlarged
decking area which allowed one to exit in both
directions whereas the other deck did not provide that.
Chairman
Kelley

SKETCH PLANT REVIEW FOR PROPOSED REZONING,
SUBDIVISION a AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
John McDowell, Gary Peterson, Peg Swanson, and Mr. &
Mrs. Andrew Miner were present for this matter.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained the purpose of
the sketch plan review is to provide the subdivider_ an
opportunity to present his conceptual plans for
development. The specific review process serves as a
basis for conceptual discussion between the City and
subdivider, hopefully, providing beneficial savings for
the subdivider. She noted that the property is
currently zoned RR-lA 5-acre Rural Zone and subdivider
proposes to rezone to RR-1B or LR-lA 2-acre zone.
Gary Peterson reviewed the area and pointed out which
lots currently sustain residences. He explained that
the area was approximately 42 acres consisting of
approximately 17 acres of wetland and 27 acres buildable
area. They propose 1.0 parcels of approximately 2.7
acres buildable area each.
McDonald stated that the current standards comply with
the intent of. the 5-acre zoning district and felt that
"spot" rezoning was only beneficial to the developer.
She noted that issues such as sewer were taken into
consideration when this area was zoned 5-acre.
Bellows suggested that the wetland area be verified
because the maps have proven to be very unreliable.

#1079 MCDOMLL CONTINUED
Gary Peterson stated that he did not feel this was
"spot" zoning because adjacent zoning districts are
zoned 2- acres. He stated that it would not be
beneficial to put in a road to serve one 5 acre lot.
Peg Swanson noted that there are some natural barriers
that separate this property from the other 5 acre zoning
district north by the Luce Line and on the west by
extensive wetlands,
McDonald stated that the area was originally zoned 5-
acres because Stubbs Bay is a critical area and to sewer
the area would be too costly.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron sated that it is
costly to sewer Stubbs Bay and secondly, there is no way
of knowing at this point whether this area would be
included in a sewer project.
Planning Commission's f-eelings regarding rezoning are:
Chairman Kelly, Tay 1 or, Hanson, Goetten, and Bellows
feel this area could be rezoned 2-acre and
definitely not "spot" zoning.
McDonald opposed to rezoning for reasons previously
stated.
Chairman
Kelley noted that if
it is
rezoned 2-acre, the
City
will
not grant variances
to new
developments.
McDonald noted the soils map which indicates a
substantial amount of area unable to sustain a septic
system.
Bellows reitterated that the soils maps can be grossly
inaccurate and applicant should have the opportunity to
do some testing.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated that the
septic systems for the ;sewer houses in that area seem to
be functioning properly.
It was noted that lot configurations may or may not be
an issue and that septic test results may require
creation of irregular lots.
McDonald suggested that staff research the reasons why
that area was zoned 5-acre back :in 1975.
Planning Commission recommended Council input and public
hearing on rezoning of this property.
