December 14, 1983 Mr. Prokop felt he would need an opinion on the suitability of the proposed sign from someone knowledgeable in this area. Mr. Hendrickson asked if he could guarantee the sign, would the Board approve the sign? Mr. Prokop asked Mr. Hendrickson to prove the worthiness of the sign. Mr. McLean felt Mr. Hendrickson should complete a sign application form that would show location with setbacks and locations noted. Mr. Kluegel asked if it was alright to keep the temporary sign until the new sign is installed? The concensus was it could remain until the entire situation is resolved. Mr. Goldade asked that Mr. Hendrickson submit a completed sign application indicating locations and a statement by a certified sign builder regarding the longevity of the sign materials and the wind load ability. Mr. Kluegel-is to take these items to the City Engineer for his approval. Mr. McLean moved to lay over the request by Mr. Hendrickson for a Conditional Use Permit - Advertising Sign until the January meeting at which time Mr. Hendrickson will supply data to support the conten- tion that the wood structure will be equal to the steel structure specified in all advertising signs in the City and also his submission will include locations of the proposed sign on his property with demension. Mrs. Klaus seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. Five minute recess. VARIANCE - PHILLIP OSHEIM Mr. Dick Bean, Attorney representing Mr. Osheim, explained that Mr. Osheim is requesting a variance to split off approximately 1/3 acre from his property and deed it to Title Insurance of Minnesota. This parcel of land contains two septic systems and part of a third system for the adjoining townhouses. Since Title Insurance had not indicated the presence of the septic systems on Mr. Osheim's property when they performed the title search they are proposing to buy this 1/3 acre from Mr. Osheim and negotiate with the townhouse owners to sell the parcel to the townhouse owners. Mr. Bean explained the location of the property on Shadow Court and indicated the location of the townhouses. Mr. Bean asked for a variance to the City Code Section 1001.18 and said he would be willing to agree to any restrictions or covenants the Planning and Zoning Board would require on the 1 /3rd acre. He felt this is definitely a hardship of the land. He also noted that they had explored resolving this problem by easement. However, this would not be practical because Mr. Osheim's back yard would occasionally have to be dug up by the townhouse owners for septic repair & maintenance. Mr. McLean felt that the approval of the variance could be contingent on the 1 /3rd acre being purchased by the townhouse owners. Mr. Bean said he could go along with this idea. Mrs. Klaus felt she was not comfortable with the idea that this is indeed a hardship of the land uncreated by anything that man has done and would like some guidance from the City Attorney.
