VARIANCE - RONALD BROWN Mr. Brown is requested a variance for a setback for the construction of a garage and to put his driveway exit onto Main Street. Mr. Brown had contacted the Anoka County Highway Department and they had no objections to this proposal. Mr. Brown reported that the Highway Department said this is a more acceptable route for the driveway than the 'S' shape to exit onto Elbe St. There was some discussion on problems the driveway could create if, and when, Wain Street is reconstructed. Mr. Brown explained that the driveway would be ide enough to avoid any such problems. If the garage is constructed within 16' of the right -of -way, and the street is upgraded, there will' still be a 10' wide ditch area, thus he would still have a distance of 26' to his garage.
