• • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD May 13, 1987 Page Two MOTION: Mrs. Averbeck moved to recommend to Council approval of the amendment to the site and building plan by Custom Manufacturing (Lloyd McKinney), application #87 -4, to allow the additional area for the proposed building as presented in the application. All stipulations recommended by this Board in the initial review of the site and building plan will remain, expanded only as necessary to accommodate the larger building. Motion seconded by Mr. Joyer and carried unanimously. JOSEPH HILL - VARIANCE TO GARAGE SIZE Mr. Hill and Mr. Kluegel explained that Mr. Hill wishes to build a garage larger than allowed within the ordinance. He is request- ing a 780 square foot, 16 foot high garage while the ordinance allows 760 square foot, 14 foot high garage on his size lot. Mr. Hill said that the reason for the request is to protect his auto- mobiles and camper from vandalism. He stated that with Sunrise Park across the street from his home, he suffers from vandals attracted to the park. Members of the Board explained to Mr. Hill the six findings of fact required to prove the applicant's need for a variance, and that these six findings of fact cannot be met in this instance. MOTION: Mrs. Nelson moved to recommend to Council denial of a variance to build an oversized garage as requested by Mr. Hill, 6933 Sunrise Ave., application 87 -15 because the P & Z Board is unable to meet the findings of fact required in Section 5, Subd. 7 (1 - 6) of the City Code. Mr. Prokop seconded the motion which carried unanimously. Mr. Hill said that he could give instances of several oversize garages and that he felt the Board was discriminating against him. He also said he wanted to know how his lot, which is supposed to be one acre, is less than one acre. Mr. Cody suggested that if Mr. Hill could not find answers from the City staff, he could appear before the next P & Z meeting under open mike to discuss this matter. STATE OF MINNESOTA - LINO LAKES CORRECTIONAL FACILITY - SITE AND BUILDING PLAN Mr. Fritzke, Director of Anoka County Corrections Department appeared before the Board explaining that the correctional facility currently can house 44 individuals (mostly traffic offenders) for their work program. Because of a backlog, the facility must pro- vide housing for more individuals; these individuals are not considered a security risk to the community. Therefore, the correctional facility is requesting approval to put up a temporary modular facility for 18 additional beds. The length of time neces- ary is unknown at this time.
