Sandra G. Larson, 1883 North Albert, requests a variance to put in a new VARIANCE
• driveway and add six feet to the north to come within 3-1/2 feet of the
property line. The Larsons were dot present because they are currently SANDRA G.
CARSON,
vacationing. Due to the fact that the request was reasonable because 1883 NORTH
there was plenty of room since the neighbor's driveway is a whole lot ALBERT,
away in distance and the fact that cars are better located on private APPROVED
property than in the street especially in the winter, Phil Chenoweth
moved, seconded by Jerry Wallin, that the variance request be approved.

Joyce L. Gimmestad presented a conditional use request from B & J Midway CONDITIONAL
Floral, Inc., 1871 West Larpenteur Avenue, to tear down existing shed USE REQUEST
and replace with a garage or utility shed. Ms. Gimmestad indicated that FROM B & J
the existing shed is in poor structural conditional and she needs a structure MIDWAY
to keep tools and other gardening items in. Acting Chairman Olson informed FLORAL
Ms. Gimmestad that she was of the opinion that the Planning Commission TABLED
could not act on her request until they could look at a site plan indicating
the placement of the structure including the setbacks from the lot line and
that the structure needed to meet the building code. Ms. Gimmestad stated
that she needed an opinion from the Planning Commission on whether or not she
could place a structure whether it be a storage shed or a 20 x 20 garage
on her property if the existing shed were torn down. Jerry Wallin indicated
that he had no problem in concept to give her an advisory opinion but felt
it would be risky to tear down the existing structure without approval of her
conditional use request which could not be done without a site plan. Harold
Nilsen felt the site plan should specifically be defined to include the boulev ard
area, which should be in conformance with residential property to the north.
• He also felt that screening should be addressed. Jerry Wallin reviewed the
Existing Business designation in the new Zoning Ordinance. After further
discussion, the Planning Commission was in concurrence that the structure
could be either a storage shed or a garage but before further consideration
