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 s he mound septic system be contaminated, there is no feasible alternate site. Mark Pariseau stated that he is requesting a setback Q eel m the center of the street. Mr. Johnson reviewed the staff report and feet from the center line of the road to the feet of variance.

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.
