PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING February 8, 1989 D. Five feet north side yard total setback for Lot 1, Block 10; and vacations of portions of five drainage easements so the easement and setback lines for the several lot coincide; and, denial of the request for "...other unspecified variance requirements related to the building sites." Motion died for lack of a second. It was moved by Fred Chase to recommend denial of the variance and easement requests (Application #89 -05) as the applicant has not shown the lots in need of a variance or special consideration. Irwin seconded the motion. Motion carried with Irwin, Chase, and Crohn voting aye. Opposed were Prokop and Girtz. Request from Henry Laska to Rezone Land at 8312 Lake Drive from Suburban Residential to General Business. Application #89 -06. (8:59p.m.) Henry Laska owns about 1.5 acres of land at 8312 Lake Drive in the northern part of Lino Lakes. A single - family dwelling and a garage are located on the land. Presently Mr. Laska resides at the site. The land is zoned for Suburban Residential uses. However, in addition to residing on the property, the applicant is storing trucks, trailers, and backhoes on the land that he uses in conducting his business, Banshee Enterprises, Inc. Laska has received three letters from City Building Inspector, Pete Kluegel, about the outside storage and about the business use of the residential property. At one time Laska had agreed to remove the equipment by December 1, 1989. Henry Laska appeared on his own behalf and presented a petition which he stated represented 75 per cent of the landowners from his property north to the Columbus boundary. In addition, Laska stated: 1) people were unhappy with the (1983) rezoning to residential, 2) by 1999 there would be 15,000 cars a day using Lake Drive, 3) not a prime residential area, and 4) there is a business next door to me. Gordon Girtz noted a rezoning to General Business would not be beneficial to Laska as his use of the property would still not be permitted in that district. chairperson Prokop asked Mr. Laska what would make him happy. Laska replied anything that will allow me to keep doing what I'm doing. Prokop noted the city is concerned about the poor Page 4
