Chair Schaps invited appl icant to make comment. The applicant made no comment. Ms. Lane made a MOTION to approve Denni s Lipoff, 62XX Laurene Avenue, Site Plan Review, subject to staff’s recommendations a nd conditions as outlined in staff’s report. The motion was supported by Mr. Corson. Motion carried 6-0. C.Jamie Brown, 442 Main Street, Variance Staff stated Mr. Jamie Brown has applied fo r a Variance for property located at 442 Main Street, which is zoned Rural and is two acres in size. Mr.Brown is asking for a Variance from the Lino Lakes Ordinance requiremen t (Section 3, subdiv. 4.D.8.e.5) which states that “no metal corrugated siding or roof, ex cept upon tool sheds less than 150 square feet in area” are allowed on accessory buildings. Staff stated Mr. Brown cons tructed an approximately 36’ X 24’ (864 sq.ft.) metal accessory building without pulling a building perm it. As a result, building officials were not given the chance to review plans and inform Mr. Brown that the building was prohibited for property of his size and zone. Building official Peter Kluegel noticed the building while out on routine inspection, and notified Tanda Gretz of the situation. Staff noted Mr. Kluegel and Ms. Gretz had an initial conversation with Mr. Brown when he stopped by City Hall to discuss the matter. That conversation was followed by several letters over a period of approximately thr ee months, culminating in the matter being handed over to the City Attorney on Ju ly 29, 2002, for resolution. Mr. Brown then contacted City Attorney Bill Hawkins and Ms. Gretz, asking that prosecution of the violation be postponed until he was allowed to apply for a variance. Staff noted the Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance, Section 3, subdiv. 4.D.8.e.5, prohibits the construction of any accessory building over 150 sq.ft. if it is sided or roofed with corrugated metal, on a lot of this size. The building constructe d by Mr. Brown measures approximately 36’ X 24’, or 864 sq.ft. in area.
