MINUTES <br />City Council <br />October 28, 1981 <br />The Planner stated that the five foot setback for the garage was questioned, <br />but as the property was platted and developed before the ordinance was in <br />effect, the five feet would be allowed. <br />The Planner stated that he viewed the property and he did not see anything <br />that would indicated the additional garage not be allowed. The Planner <br />commented that there is a lot of equipment on the property that would <br />make the idea of a second garage a good one. <br />The P1anner suggested that on any second garage situation, the Council <br />specify that no home occupation would be allowed to take place in the <br />yarage. <br />Mrs. Sca1ze commented that a permit would be needed for this anyway. <br />Mr. Hanson stated that the property could be sold and this would just <br />be a matter of enforcement. The Planner commented that the City wou1d <br />have something to fall back on if this would be made a part of the approval. <br />Mr. Gear commented that he owned apartment buildings and may store <br />refrigerators or other appliances in the garage. Would this be considered <br />a home occupation. <br />Mrs. Goodlake appeared before the Council and stated that she understood <br />that before construction would be allowed to begin a permit must be <br />taken out. <br />Mrs. Nardini stated that Mr. Goodlake wanted to get his slab in early and <br />was told by the City staff that a permit was needed for anything that <br />amounted to $500 or more. If under $500, a permit was not needed. Mrs. <br />Nardini commented that if a permit for the garage 9s not approved, Mr. <br />Gear would have a nice patio. <br />Mrs. Goodlake stated that her house is right behind the Gear property and <br />she is interested in what the garage would look like. Mr. Gear stated <br />that the garage would be used for storage purposes and wou7d have the <br />same siding as his house. <br />Mr. Goodlake appeared before the Council. Mr. Goodlake pointed out that <br />Mrs. Nardini had a neighborly re7ationship with Mr. Gear. Mr. Goodlake <br />commented that Mr. Gear present1y has some apartments in the basement of <br />his home. Mr. Gear stated that there were no apartmerits in his basement. <br />Mayor Hanson stated that this was not germane to the issue. <br />Mr. Goodlake stated that when he sits in his backyard, with the new garage <br />in place, he will not be able to see anything but buildings. Mr. Goodlake <br />commented that he has seen no plans for the building. Mr. Goodlake <br />commented that he was against the permit beiny approved. <br />Mrs. Scalze commented that she did not think miscellaneous storage should <br />include refrigerators. <br />Mayor Hanson stated that the Council cannot regu7ate what someone stores <br />in his garage. <br />Page -9- <br />
