MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 18, 1999 the utilities would have to be dug up causing blacktop to be disturbed. Costanzo indicated that when he finishes improving the shed, he will be running water and sewer to both the buildings. Therefore, he would like to wait with the blacktop until he runs the utilities. Knudsen suggested that action on this CUP be tabled until there is more information on the utility issue. Keis agreed, but pointed out that the City has only granted extensions until June 30, 2000. Keis also indicated that a financial hardship is notjustification for a variance. The Zoning Administrator indicated that utility connections are not required for an accessory building. Costanzo indicated that if he enclosed the building, he will put in the utilities and make this building a rental property. Kraemer pointed out that this is Costanzo's choice, and suggested that it may not be justification for delaying the blacktopping. There was some confusion about whether or not sanitary sewer is in Ryan Drive, or if sewer needed to be extended along Ryan Drive. It was pointed out that Mr. Frattalone did improve a portion of Ryan Drive with sanitary sewer. Costanzo indicated that he will use the existing lines that run through the middle of his property. Keis indicated that this matter should be tabled until next month to get additional information on the utility issue. Barraclough indicated that one solution would be for Costanzo to blacktop 24 required parking spots on the side of the property. This would minimize the need to dig up blacktop at the time Costanzo runs utilities into his property. The Zoning Administrator pointed out the letter from the Public Works Director on the utility issue, and indicated that she will verify the matter further with the Director. Knudsen noted that Costanzo has don a lot of work on the property and he appreciated the effort. Page 30
