CHAPTER 9-2.04 SUBD. 1(c) <br />Administrator Hoyt explained that a variance was being requested to construct a shed in <br />what is technically the sideyard of the church although it appears to be the rear yard <br />because the zoning code defines the front yard as the yard with the address. Therefore, the <br />sideyard setback must be 5 feet from the lot line. (The rear yard setback requirement is one <br />• foot from the property line.) The only location available for a utility shed is to the rear of the <br />building, this is the sideyard. Mr. Warren West, business manager, and Bob Olson <br />represented the church. <br />After discussing the request, Commissioner Kuettel moved and Commissioner Struck <br />seconded the resolution approving a variance of three feet in the sideyard setback for the <br />construction of a utility shed pending removal of the existing shed. Motion passed <br />unanimously. <br />REVIEW OF THE 1997 15 YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM <br />Administrator Hoyt reviewed the high points of the capital improvement program for the <br />commission with special attention to the reconstruction of Larpenteur Avenue, which was <br />included in 1997, 1998 and 1999. The commissioners asked questions about various <br />projects. <br />UPDATE ON PLANNING ACTIVITIES <br />Administrator Hoyt updated the commission on upcoming activities including the CUP <br />application for a poolhall in Northome Shopping Center, the antenna moratorium and the <br />comprehensive plan amendments. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:05 p.m. <br />• Respectfully submitted. <br />Susan Hoyt <br />
