• • • planning and Zoning Board October 24, 1984 Page Two Petition 2: Signed by 28 parties requesting changing Subd. 7 (1) (C) which currently allows a detached rural storage building on a parcel over 24 acres - to allow a detached rural storage buildiig on a parcel over 1 acre. This peti- tion also requests deleting the phrase "if there is no attached garage" from Subd. 7 (14)(B). Mr. McLean noted that per a request by the P & Z Board, Mr. Kluegel has provided the Board with the ordinances with regard to accessory building used by Hugo, Shoreview, New Hope, Ham Lake, Coon Rapids and Blaine. Mr. McLean then opened the meeting to any in the audience who wished to be heard. Niel Banta, 7829 Nottingham Lane appeared before the Board saying that he had come before the Board in April or May requesting a variance for a detached garage on his I -acre parcel. The Board suggested that he petition_ for a change to the ordinance because they could not approve his request at that time with the current ordinance. Mr. Banta said that he would be allowed per ordinance to add 680 square feet to his attached garage, which would not look as nice as a de- tached garage, and would not serve his purpose as well, Mr. Kluegel concurred with this statement. Mr. Banta suggested the changes out- lined in Petition 2 above. Roger Kolstad appeared saying that he had sold one acre lots to many citizens in the community with the understanding that they could build detached garages on their lots. This was true at the time of the sale of the lots. Mr. Kolstad and many others have just recently been informed that the ordinance was changed since that time and now requires 24 acres. He felt this change took the community by sur- prise and caused a hardship for many one -acre lot owners. He sug7 gested the changes outlined in Petition 2 above. Larry Peterson, 1044 Evergreen Trail appeared saying that at the time he bought his one -acre lot he could build a detached garage and now that he can afford to do so, the ordinance prohibits it. He would like approximately 800 square feet and plans to match the architecture to his house. He suggests controls to assure the gar- age matches the house and does not feel a pole barn should be allowed on one acre. He supports Petition 2 above. Larry Swistowski, East 81st St, appeared saying that he has 17 acres and wants to build a 2,500 square foot pole barn and is only allowed 1,500 per ordinance. He supports Petition 1. Gerald Kuether, Carole and 77th St. appeared saying that he wants to build a 15' X 16' garage to match his house and feels that stor ing his many cars inside a garage is much better looking that having them parked outside on his property. He supports Petition 1, to include controls to assure garage architecturally matches house.
