On the West side of this lot there is a 100' wide St. Paul Water Works easement, which creates this distance, even though it is not under Mr. Nathe's ownership. Mr. Hawkins said there was nothing in the Ordinance that does not allow commercial parking in an R3 zone. He said he didn't know if that was a good policy, but that is what the ordinance says. Mr. Reinert had some questions as to the footage in certain areas on the map and he asked Mr. Goldade if this had been discussed at the P &Z.(Mr. Goldade answered by he could not be understood.) After some discussion on the alternatives to solving this parking problem, Mr. Reinert moved that Mr. Schumacher meet with the owner and work out details to implement suggestions from the Council at this meeting and return at the October 12, 1982 Council meeting. Seconded by MRs. Eisen- ;Deter. Motion carried unanimously. Ernst - Variance to minimum house size - Planning and Zoning had re- commended approval of the adminstrative variance. Mr. Marier said he had no problems with the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board, however, he suggested these types of problems be watched closely in the future. Mr. Marier moved to approve the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning for the granting of the variance due to an error in the cal- culation of the square footage by the Building Inspector. Seconded by MR. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried with Mr. Reinert voting, No. Variance - Klolstad /Nelson - Sherwood Green - The Planning and Zoning had recommended the variance to the boulevard slope in this plat due to the lay of the land and to preserve some very large trees. Mr. Marier moved to approve the Planning and Zoning recommendation to in- clude the Engineer's recommendation on the drainage. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Moris - Side yard setback - This deals with a garage slab ening in stalled too near the side yard on an unimporved street. MR. Moris can extend the slab for 10', this will put the slab within 3' of his well. This slab had originally been poured without a building permit. 1 Mr. Moris told the Council the same story he had related to the Planning and Zoning- that he had been told he could put his garage 15' from the center of the street. He also was never told that he needed a building permit to construct the slab. He only was told that he eeded the permit for the slab when he went to get a permit for the garage. Mrs. Elsenpeter pointed out that Mr. Moris is using the proposed street as a driveway and the fence goes to the end of the street. The garage is pisitioned so that they will enter off the proposed street. Mr. Marier moved to grant the variance. Seconded by MR. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Reinert referred to Mr. Prokop's motion in the Planning and Zoning Board's minutes as to the problem of misinformation being given out by staff members in the office. Mr. Reinert moved that Mr. Schumacher look into this and report back to the Council. Seconded by MR. Marier. Mayor Benson asked about the envelopes that were to be prepared - what is the status of those envelopes" He asked that the envelopes be completed
