The first item on the agenda was a request from Mr. and Mrs. Kelly Baumgart to build a garage in front of their home located at 6133 Ware Road in Lino Lakes. The Baumgart's had appeared at the July meeting and were asked to come back with a specific description of where the want to place the garage and the exact measurments from the road. The Baumgart's presented copies of their perc test and a survey of the land to show the exact measurments. Mr. Karth aratced If the exact measurments of the drain field was available? Mr. Baumgart said no, the measurments on the copy of the perc test were only approximate measurments but they are the best they can come up with. Mr. Kelling questioned the effect a garage in the front would have on the rest of the neighbors. Mr. Karth and Mr. Baumgart said that the land on either side of the Baumgart residence were now empty. Mr. Karth asked when the house was built. Mr. Baumgart said the house was built in 1952 and the perc test was done in 1972 when they purchased the house. Before 1972 there was no plumbing of any sort there. Mr. Karth asked again about a tuck under garage and Mr. Baumgart said that it would cause more problems, particularly with water, than it would be worth. Mr. Shearan said that if the garage were placed where the Baumgart's desired it would only be setback 15' from the property line. After looking at a sketch of the property Mr. Shearan said the garage would only be 12' from the road and not less than 20' from the center of the road. Attorney Locher read from Ordinance 56, Sections 4.13, 4.14, 4.15 and 4.16; which detail the setback regulations of the City of Lino Lakes. Mr. Shearan, after reviewing the ordinance requirments moved to recommend to the Council denial of this request under the circumstances. Mr. Nadeau seconded the motion. Motion carried. Mr. Nadeau asked about putting the garage in the back. Mr. Baumgart said that it would take about 4 yards of fill to make it usable and he did not feel that it would not be feasible for them to do this.
