• • Planning & Zoning Board September 13, 2000 Page 3 Chair Schaps stated the recommendation is to provide the minimum separation but also the minimum necessary deviation from the 40 -foot setback requirement as well. Mose Pariseau stated if the garage is located too far back, it would not work. Mark Pariseau, owner of the property, stated he also installs septic systems for the State of Minnesota and understands how critical it is for drainage not to run into the absorption area. He explained that with a heavy rain, the amount of water forced into the mound system is a concern and, if the garage is moved it will encroach about 30% into the swale area, even if a berm is constructed. He noted their proposed location is where cars now park and would align with the back wall of the house. In response to Chair Schaps, Mark Pariseau explained the mound system is installed per State requirements and there was really no choice for a different location. He stated he would support a 13.5 foot variance request and advised that should the mound septic system be contaminated, there is no feasible alternate site. Mark Pariseau stated that he is requesting a setback 2.5 feet from the center of the street. Mr. Johnson reviewed the staff report and ask e most recent proposal is for 62.5 feet from the center line of the road to the ont garage, which is an additional six E� feet of variance. Mr. Pariseau stated it w:' �� :additional three feet since the house is at 19.5 feet from the property line. Mr. Smyser stated the right -of -wa subtracting 33 feet, indicates requirement is for 40 feet a property line. The staff report measurement from the septic syste the septic system. wide so a measurement from the center line, rom the property line or 19.5 feet. The setback nal request was to build at 21.5 feet from the es support of 32.5 feet and verifying the to assure the garage is not placed to interfere with Mr. Johnson asked if they want the garage to be 23 feet from the septic system. Mark Pariseau answered in the affirmative noting, however, they will have to verify that measurement. Mr. Zych stated he would support allowing the garage to be aligned with the front of the house. Mark Pariseau stated he wants the garage positioned so the back of the garage and back of the house line up. He agreed the garage would not be any closer to the roadway than the house. Chair Schaps stated as recommended by Mr. Zych, the garage would only be 20 feet from the edge of the roadway so, conceivably, a vehicle and trailer could not park in the driveway without the trailer extending into the road.
