MzNUrEs City Council May 27, '19II1 Mayor Hanson stated that he saw no problem with the request as long as Mr. Krueger stayed in line with his neighbor`s garage, Mr. Fahey stated that he did not feel the request met the requirements of a hardship under the City's ordinance. Fahey also pointed out that the City is considering the adoption of an ordinance that would allow a setback to be the average of the City's setback requirement and that of adjacent properties. This ordinance will be considered at the June 10 Council meeting, Fahey felt the Krueger request may fall under this proposed ordinance. The City Clerk pointed out that this variance request requires a public hearing. Mrs. Nardini asked if a special use permit could be issued for this garage. The City Planner stated that it could not as it ~vas not listed in the City`s ordinance. The C7erk informed the Council that they could waive the procedures for a variance request in this case. The City Planner stated that he was not aware of a waiver provision in the City's ordinance. The Planner informed the CounciJ that other communities had a provision to provide for a waiver in the case of minor variances. The Planner stated that it was his opinion that it is only fair to give the neighbors a chance to voice their opinion on these things, However, there are situations where the public hearing process becomes cumbersome. Fahey suggested the City call for a public hearing on this request and in two weeks the Council wi11 be considering the ordinance amendment regarding the averaging of setbacks, and perhaps the Krueger matter could be taken care of if this ordinance amendment is adopted. The Attorney stated that if the Council got a waiver from each of the propertyowners within 350 feet of the Krueger property, they could dispense with the public hearing. Mrs. Sca1ze felt this would not be fair to other people who have made variance requests. Mrs, Nardini pointed out that the Council held up Mr. Kath on his variance request. Mr. forsberg expressed concern that the Council keeps making changes to the ordinances because of requests such as Mr. Kruegers, Forsberg stated that because Mr. Kath does not have enough property to build an accessory building, the Council is going to consider an ordinance amendment on June 10. Mr. Fahey stated that the 6uilding Inspector should p7ace the Krueger structure assuming that the Council would adopt the ordinance amendment it will be considering on June 10. Mrs. Scalze introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 81-5-258 - CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARIPlG AT THE JUNE 24, 1981 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING ON THE KRUEGER VARIANCE REQUEST Page -II-
