7 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS VARIANCE - ALCOCK ESTATES September 28, 1981 This is for the splitting of a parcel of land with no street frontage. This land is to be added to an existing parcel. Mr. Alcock had been granted a variance on May 26, 1981 and it is necessary to set aside this variance before a new variance can be granted. The Planning and Zoning had moved to recommend the setting aside of the variance with teh consent of Mrs. Flora Alcock, Estate Administrator. The Planning and Zoning had then moved to recommend to the Council approval of this variance request, with the stipulation that a certificate of survey be provided. Mr. McLean moved to rescind the Resolution granting the Alcock Estates a variance on May 26, 1981 for the reasons presented in the applicant's petition of August 26, 1981. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski.

BROWN Mr. Brown is requesting a variance to Ord. #56, Subd. 4.16. This requires a 40' setback since his is a corner lot. Mr. Brown had consulted the Anoka County Highway Department and he does have a letter of agreement from the Amoka County Commissioners allowing Mr. Brown's driveway to exit onto Main Street. A letter from Ken Meister, City Engineer, also recommended that this drive- way exit onto Main Street. Mr. Meister also count not find any problems with the request for a 16' setback as long as the County had no objections. Mr. Schumacher read the letter from the County Highway Department with two stipulations; 1) the access be limited to the West 30' of the lot; and 2) the turn - around be constructed so as to eliminate the need to back out onto Main Street. On questioning Mr. Brown, it was determined that his garage will be in front of the other garages facing Main Street in that area. His garage will start wihere the garage next door ends. Mayor Gourley said he wasn't so concerned with the 16' setback that is being requestd, as he was with the fact that the garage will be out of line with the rest of the neighborhood. The Council had some questions and felt they would like to take a look at this property. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to table any action on this request until the Oct. 5, 1981 meeting. Seconded by MR. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimously. WEINER - SPECIAL USE PERMIT Mr. Weiner was not present. Mayor Gourley moved to able until Mr. Weiner is present to discuss this application. Seconded by MR.
