COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 28, 2000 Mr. Krause has submitted a sketch indicating that he has a heavily wooded lot with a drainage ditch and wetland area in the north/west corner. He has limited space for this proposed structure as his drain field and septic tank occupies the south/east corner of his property. In review of the site, staff concurs that there is a hardship created by the lay of the land. A letter has been submitted by the adjoining property owner, to the north, indicating no objections to the location of the accessory structure in front of the home. For Council information, Wood Duck Trail was recently added to the City's State Aid roadway system. Although the proposed structure is located 40 feet from the front property line, the City may need an additional 10' of right -of -way for future road reconstruction. This is not anticipated in the near future but staff would recommend that the proposed structure be moved 10' westerly to allow for this future reconstruction and maintenance of the required 40' setback at that time. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed this item at their August 9, 2000, meeting and recommended approval of this variance based on conditions. Council Member Reinert moved to approve the variance as req �> to • ase �• n the following conditions: 1. Proper building permits are obtained prior tony ''truction. 2. The accessory building is located Duck Trail. Council Member O'Donnell seconded t the urrent front property line on Wood otion carried unanimously. Minor Subdivision, Steve Benes = La e Drive (3/5 Vote Required), Mary Kay Wyland — Staff advised Steve Benesch is r s a minor subdivision at 8251 Lake Drive that would add a 1,777 square foot triangle (2 to existing parcel of property in order to correct an encroachment onto the n created when a garage slab was placed over the property line. The property owner 6 "A.Y a e Drive, Dave & Debbi Stoppelman, have agreed to sell this triangular parcel to Mr. Be n ch." The Stoppelman parcel is a "flag lot" with a 50' x 255' strip of property leading to a larger, ` :6' x 308' parcel. Their total parcel is 2.35 acres in size. The driveway is located on the northerly side of the 50 strip of property. Mr. Benesch's parcel is .72 acres in size. The properties in question are currently Zoned Rural and guided for low density sewered residential development in the draft Comp Plan. The two (2) parcels under consideration were created prior to establishment of the 10 acre minimum and are considered pre- existing non - conforming lots of record. The triangular piece to be split from one parcel and given to the other is insignificant in comparison to the overall rural lot minimum requirements. The adjoining property owners have agreed to sell the triangular piece of property to Mr. Benesch. It does not appear that the existing driveway to the Stoppleman home will be adversely affected by the location of the garage and Mr. Benesch has limited space for relocation of the slab. The proposed • garage slab will meet all setback requirements with approval of this subdivision, as the structure will be 5' from the side property line and more than 40' from the front property line.
