114 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD May 8, 1985 Page Three Mr. Prokop said that he wanted to make certain that Mr. Dehen would be moving in and living in the home on the property. He was also reluctant to agree to this due to the possible future growth in the area. Mr. Dehen pointed out that the pole building, if not used in this way, would have no use to anyone. It has been insulated, with a concrete floor and is heated. He felt that if he appeared with an honest proposal, the City would understand that the building is useless for any other purpose. The Board explained that the owner built this building, and that the City cannot be blamed for the fact that the building is useless. Mr. Prokop moved to recommend to Council denial of the request by Mr. John Dehen, 1911 Lombardy Lane, White Bear, MN, dated 4/22/85 for a home occupation at 6414 Otter Lake Rd., Lino Lakes, MN, which would cause a variance to the ordinance, because the acreage in question is too small and approval would be against the intent of the ordinance and the comprehensive plan. .Motion seconded by Mr. Ostlie and carried unanimously. Mr. Zack Johnson reminded Mr. Dehen that he has the right to con- sider a request for a text amendment to change the acreage require- ment in the ordinance. The P & Z would not recommend approval of a request for a rezone in this situation. AGNES LAMOTTE - CONDITIONAL USE FLOOD PLAIN MINING PERMIT - 6510 - 12th AVENUE SO., LINO LAKES Mr. Kluegel and Alwin LaMotte presented the LaMotte's request to remove topsoil from their property. Mr. Kluegel explained that Rice Creek Watershed allowed two duck ponds to be dug on the property and that the dirt from these ponds is still piled there. He also stated that Rice Creek Watershed has responsibility for the county ditches. The LaMottes now wish to clean out the county ditch to improve the drainage of the property. It is required that record is kept of the cubic yardage of removed soil for sales taxes. Mr. Kluegel said that at least 2,000 cubic yards of soil will be removed. He also pointed out that the ordinance requires that the City consider the use of heavy equipment on the City streets in approving a mining permit, but since the property is located on a County road, no escrow is required. Mr. LaMotte stated that if approved, he may continue onto Pershing Weaver's adjoining land in the future. The Board suggested that if approved, the City Engineer will have to be asked to estimate the volume of soil removed. Mr. Kluegel did not feel this would be a problem. Mr. McLean said that this item will be considered after the City Engineer's estimate.
