Upon a vote being 4/22/81 taken the following voted "aye": Acting Mayor Brown, Councilmembers Steele APPROVED and Eggert and the following voted "nay": None. Councilmember Larson abstained. Motion carried. Councilmember Larson presented for Council's consideration a variance request from Kenneth Wielinski, 1811 Arona, to construct a fence 312 feet high, approximately 13 feet from the edge of the curb, running 35 feet parallel to the curb. The variance had been reviewed by the Planning Commission and that body recommended approval. Councilmember Larson moved, seconded by Councilmember Eggert, that the variance be granted. Motion carried unanimously. ' Councilmember Larson presented to Council a variance request from Charles Ready, 1359 W. Iowa, to place a 2 car garage on the alley line (in line with other garages in the area) and 2 feet from the side yard, and in- formed that the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval. Councilmember Steele questioned the placement 2 feet from the side yard as that request was not included in Mr. Ready's written variance re- quest. Councilmember Larson gave the following explanation: When the request was originally submitted Mr. Ready's adjoining neighbors gave written approval of the placement of the garage on the alley line, how- ever, later Mr. Craighead, 1365 W. Iowa, Mr. Lewis, 1354 W. Idaho and Mr. Apple, 1358 W. Idaho, withdrew their approval due to the fact that they felt the placement of the garage would make it difficult for Mr. Apple to enter and leave his garage. During the Planning Commission discussion it was decided that if the Ready garage were to be placed nearer the west lot line (2 feet) it would allow Mr. Apple ample access to his garage and Mr. Ready agreed to accomodate the neighbor. Councilmember Larson then read to Council a letter from Milton Craighead, 1365 W. Iowa, explaining that he did not want the garage placed 2 feet from the lot line. Mr. Craighead was in attendance and informed Council that he objected to the placement as he felt that in case of fire or any work on the garage there would be encroachment on his private property. After a lengthy discussion it was suggested that the garage be placed ', 5 feet from the side lot line as orignally planned and Mr. Ready agreed. Councilmember Steele moved, seconded by Acting. Mayor Brown, that the variance to place a 22' x 24' garage on the alley line be permitted but that the 5 foot side lot set back requirement be observed. Motion carried unanimously. Councilmember Eggert informed that the North Suburban Cable Commission has scheduled a Public Hearing to be held May 20, 1981 at the Roseville City Hall, at which time testimony will be taken from interested parties. Following the testimonies the Commission will adopt the Request for Proposals. He also informed that each individual city in the cable territory must hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution approving the Request for Proposals. Councilmember Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Larson, that the City of Falcon Heights Public Hearing be held May 27, 1981 at 8:p.m. and that the Clerk Administrator be authorized to publish the Hearing Notice. Motion carried unanimously. WIELINSKI FENCE VARI- ANCE, 1811 ARONA, APPROVED VARIANCE CHARLES READY 1359 W. IOWA APPROVID F. H.
