Chairman opened the Puhlio Hearing that had been
the previc3U8 meeting cxnoeming_ _
request of Ulmer Construction Gcn|>any. The Chaimen revlet^
petition and noted that the Village Engineer oonfiymBid
the wetlands area at a total of one acre. Hcwever, the
Engineer's findings showed that the survey presented by the
petitioner included the road ri^t-of-^gey in oonputing the
total buildahle area. Biis reduced the HinAiMo area of
the proposed 1.73 acre lot to 1.47 acres, the 1.85 acre lot
to 1.57 acres and the 2.75 acre tract to 2.32 acres with the
one acre wetland area included. Previous concern as to a
cre^ naming thru the tract was unfounded and the creek's
location VBS not in the area of the petition. After aU
public present were given an opportunity to be heard, the
hearing was closed.
^ Qcono Planning Ocmmission met on the above date with the
following menbers present: Acting Chairman, C. Paul Fes^,
Members Hannah, IXmlap, Guthrie, Vto Nest, McDonald and
Cu^. Zoning Achiinistrator, Hank Mtihich. Absent: Wbolley,
Hake and Kallestad.

T^ng Connission Meeting held November 3, 1975, be aipproved.
btion. Ayes (7) - Nays (0).
moved, Vhn Nest seconded, that the Planning Con-
mission would not reoomnend to the Ooincil approval of the
Ulmer Construction Company subdivision as it was presently
proposed but would table the petition until the applicant
could present an alternate plan showing only two lots as
the entire parcel consists of only 4.36 dry buildable area
in a two acre zoned district. Motion, Ayes (7) - Nays (0).
Carol Ann Bialcn petitioned the Oommission to construct a
deck onto her house which would require a variance of 14 ft.
fron the lakeshoie setback reguiranent. The deck was pre
sently in existence having been constructed without a building
permit. When oonstruction weus suspended, it was discovered
tuet the addition did not oonply with setback requirements.
She described the dedc as' being of open wood oonstruction and
set about three ft. off the ground, it could be a pro
bable oonoem for the future, the Zoning Actodnistiator noted
that someday someone might want to add a overhead covering
to the deA or otherwise make the deck more solid than the
one existing vbich would make a more substantial increase of
#**jrdcover. Mb. Bialcn requested and was informed as to the
wealing of hardoover. Guthrie moved, Hannah seconded, that
the Planning Ocmmission reoammend to the Council approval of
^9 lakeshore setback variance application of Carol Ann Bialon
mt that approval was on condition that the deck be of an open
type ocnstructioi and that no oovering be put lum it. Motionj Ayas (7) - Nays (0).

mmpz CP A PLAmiNS OOMOSSIGN MEETING - mmmER 18, 1975 • PMZ 2
IXie to the abeencse of Darrell Stefwart, Menter Van Nest ga^e
^^short history of his petition to determine whether the va-
^^ant lot between 3175 and 3185 North Shore Drive was a build-
able lot. Originally fted Rogers, owner of the parcel, had
made applicatim to build on the tract but the Planning Com
mission reoonmended denial of his permit. Mr. Rogers withdrew
the matter before the Oouncil oould act. Mr. Stewart is in
terested in purchasing this parcel to combine it with his
adjacent property so that he could construct a garage. The
determination of the buildability of the lot would indicate
vdiether it was economically feasible to proceed with his plan
as the OMier would probably request waiving the recent sewer
assessment on this lot. Member Hannah noted that he would
abstain frcm participation with the Planning Omnission due
to having an interest in the property. The Oo^AiSsion noted
that both lots with houses on them were substandard
than 1/2 acre and concurred with the Planning Oonniss:
vicusly made. Van Nest moved, Dunlap seconded, that the
ning Oomiission reoomnend to the Oouncil that because Tn
6 and H, Registered Land Suru^ 269, have been in oomon
ship for many years and that Tract G is less than 1/2 acre in
a one acre zoning area that the tract be determined not build*
able. Motion, (6) - Nays (0) - Abstain (1) Hannadi.
Curtis mmd, Hannah seconded, that the Planning Gcmnission
^psoonmend to the Oouncil that the Variance Application of
MoCaffrey to renoue one tree within 75 ft. of the
lakeshoze be approved as sidbadtted as he has many «S-
ditional plantings sinoe purchasing the property. Motion,
^es (7) - Nays (0).
Earl Norwood requested a variance of 5 ft. from the side
lot line and 5 ft. frcm the street lot line in order to con
struct a garage. Presently tlie lot that the garage would be
built on is a separate tract from the hcmesite. Altogether
Mr. Norwood canes a total of four substandard lots which ad
join his property, all of which are tax delinquent. In order
to ocnbine the lots %dth his hcmesite, Hennepin County would
require all delinquent taxes to be paid. Mr. Norwood explainec
that this VBS his intention but that even with the combination
the variance request would he necessary. He explained that he
had renewed the old garage to another location. n»sently it
%ms on akids but he intended to use it as storage for cyclcm,
boats and sports equ^nent. He explained that if tte garage
%ere placed in another location his view from the house would
be cut off. Gonmission menters agreed that the selected site
%«s probably the best place _ _ _ __ _
was located on a dead end street and is adjacent frm the
neighbor's garags. McDonald moved, Guthrie seconded, tha
Pl^mning Oonmission recommend to the Council that the var
^iquest of Earl Norwood be granted due to the stmpe and t
gzaphy of the location but only
linquent taxes be paid and that all four lo
the hcmesite. Motion, Ayes (7) - Nays (0).

Although not scheduled to be on the Ag^enda until a later
date, John AUenburg presented his reciuest to remove three
or more trees and grade within 75 ft. of the shoreline. He
noted ttet presently the area At hie tract was not natural
gzound but conposed chiefly of dredgings from channel areas
over the years. He did not want to change the elevation of
site but wanted to fill holes to level with the natural
^^^ound on the Maxwell Bay side of the property vdiere he
said erosion was very substantial. He stated that the east
ern oontour would be left as is. Concerning the trees to be
taken out, he was presently only aware of three but due to
the mmerous amount at the site he had not had time to make
close inspection of them and possibly more would have to be
removed. The applicant was informed that no reconmendatlon
could be made regarding his rip xi^ proposal until more com
plete plans and data were submitted. Curtis moved, Hannah
seconded, that the Planning Ccnmission xecatmend to the
Council that the removal of trees be allowed and that due to
the land of John AUenburg being chiefly oonpoeed of lake
dredgings he be given permission to fill in depressions to
the natural ground level but not to change any grade of the
land and that all the above work be subject to the approval
and discretion of the Zoning Akninistrator and the Village
Qigineer. Motion, Ayes (7) - Navs (0).

it had been node with Meyzata to serve only six houses
at the site. In his opinion, title to the property would have

undivided ownership. Ihe plan also included giving an open
space easement to the Village to insure that the open space
area would not be built upon at a date. The Planning
