• • • Planning & Zoning Board May 10, 2000 Page 2 V. ACTION ITEMS A. Carl Johnson, 310 Carl Street, Variance Staff advised that the applicant, Carl Johnson, has submitted an application for a variance from the City's Zoning Ordinance, Section 3, Subd. 4.D. Accessory Buildings and Structures, 1. General Provision. C. No detached accessory structure shall be closer to the front lot line than the principal building or its attached garage. Staff presented their report and analysis of the application and comment that the current Zoning Ordinance prohibits the construction of an accessory building in front of the principal structure. The development plan for the lots in Lino Air Park North initially indicated that the hanger location would be toward the runway. The unique nature of the drainage easement on the lot does not constitute a hardship because the home and accessory building could be constructed to meet the requirements of the Ordinance by locating the hanger to the rear of the lot. Therefore, staff recommends denial of the request nce.

Mr. Schilling inqu, her all three properties that built in front was done so prior to the ordinance chan • Ms. Wyland answered affirmatively. Chair Schaps stated his understanding of the route that would be taken by an aircraft from the hanger to the runway. He noted the plane would be between 70 and 30 feet from the street when taxing. Chair Schaps stated that is not his understanding of why these lots were approved. Mr. Johnson noted the two survey maps, one indicating the area is not within the ponding and flowage easement which could be a building pad, and the other survey indicating the proposed house would be located in an area within the easement. Ms. Wyland explained how the easement area was revised and reconfigured. Mr. Johnson noted there is nothing (easement or wetlands) to prevent the hanger from being built between the proposed location of the house and the taxiway. Ms. Wyland stated that is correct.
