COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 24, 2000 Council Member Reinert inquired about a sense of urgency relating to this issue. Staff advised there is not a sense of urgency, however, the developer does have sales pending. Council Member Reinert suggested the issue be tabled until the next Council meeting to obtain more information on the request. Mayor Bergeson opened the public hearing at 6:52 p.m. The City Attorney advised the public hearing should be continued to the next Council meeting. Council Member Carlson stated she wants to see how the property has been platted to this point. She noted the paperwork on this item was not received in time to discuss it at the Council work session. Council Member Reinert moved to close the public hearing at 6:54 p.m. Council Member Carlson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Council Member Carlson moved to continue FIRST READING, Ordinance No. 08 — 00, Vacation of 74th Street, to the May 8, 2000, Council meeting. Council Member Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Variance for 6280 Ware Road, David Pearson (3/5 Vote, adoption of the agenda, this item was postponed until Md quit± , Mary Kay Wyland — Upon Variance for 87 Lilac Street, Lyndal Nelson- 3 /55 Vote Retgiuired), Mary Kay Wyland — Staff advised Mr. Lyndal Nelson at 87 Lilac Vet is reques tin variance to allow a 442 square foot addition to his existing attached g ag o t Iota age area of 1,114 sq. ft. The ordinance allows a total of 1,120 sq. ft. with a minimum se bac of 30' from a local street. The house sits at a slight angle on the lot so the south/east corpse 'of the garage would be 26.5' from the property line requiring a variance of 3.5' while the northeast corner would exceed from the setback requirement by 2'. Although Mr. Nelson has a large lot, 1.6 acres, there is a low area behind the home and a large mound septic system. His preference is to construct this addition to provide for a three (3) car attached garage. A larger detached garage could be constructed but would need to be located quite some distance from the home and would require the removal of a small existing storage building on the property. The ordinance allows one attached garage and one detached accessory building. The existing detached accessory building was constructed some time ago prior to development of the area. In considering all requests for variance or appeal and in taking subsequent action, the City shall make a finding of fact: 1. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. 2. That the plight of the landowners is due to physical circumstances unique to his property not created by the land owner. 5
