COUNCIL MEETING May 13, 1985 Page Ten building is 985 square feet, is to be the same type construction as the house, single story, matching the home, same roof pitch, to house garden tractor, antique car, catamaran and a pontoon boat, will not be used for human habitation. The area is zoned rural and the Planning Board recommended approval provided the present homesite is combined with the adjacent twelve acre parcel also owned by Mr. Hansen. Mr. Reinert asked if the City has sole discretion for approval of this application. Mr. Kluegel said yes, our Shoreland Manage- ment Ordinance was approved by DNR, they will be notified of the stipulations. Mrs. Alban Letourneau of 2018 Otter Lake Drive said that there are covenants at Otter Lake Estates, one states that an out building cannot exceed 24' X 36' or 864 square feet and a nine foot ceiling and cannot house more than four passenger cars: Mr. Hansen said his property is not in the Otter Lakes plat and those covenants do not affect his property. He stated he needed more room to house his antique car and boats. Mr. Letourneau said you requested a building for a boat house, you should have a storage shed and be in line with the houses presently there. Mr. Hansen said -he planned to do this. Mr. Letourneau said he felt it was too big of a building and Mr. Hansen should comply with the covenants in the area. Mr. John Kinneberg said he felt the size of the building was not appropriate for the area and felt his lot was too small. He asked what will happen to this building five and six years down the road. After discussing the size of Mr. Hansen's lot and the adjacent 12 acres, combining the two parcels, discussing the primary use of the building, the vehicles he already owns, whether the size of the garage could be scaled down, Mr. Reinert asked the people in the audience if they preferred Mr. Hansen store all his vehicles and boats outside. Mr. Kinneberg said Mr. Hansen already has a four car garage and his pontoon boat has sat outside for a long time already. The Planning Board had recommended that if Mr. Hansen combines his two parcels of land together and record it as one parcel of property a 1,000 square foot building could be approved. Mr. McLean said the size is unappropriate for the neighborhood and could be scaled down. Mr. Marier asked if there will be access to this building from the street. Mr. Hansen said yes, he will have a driveway so it will look just like a garage. 1 1 1
