1 October 27, 1980 20'1 Mr. McLean asked why this had to be a separate building and Mr. Malley said in his re- storation of these cars, the job can get pretty dirty and there is slways some danger in the wilding or painting and he would rather not have this connected to his home. Mr. Jaworski moved to table this until some alternative can be worked out. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Mayor Gourlye said the problem is that this request is for a variance to the square footage and he felt there is no way this can be varied. Mr. Jaworski felt that if an alternative is worked out, then Mr. Malley could with draw his request and get his money back. Mr. Schumacher pointed out that only the $100.00 is refundable. Mr. Jaworski withdrew his motion and Mr. Kulaszewicz withdrew his second. Mr. Jaworski moved to deny this variance request. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. The next item on the agenda was a variance request from Mr. D. Matzke to allow the construction of a garage nearer the street than his home. This is made necessary by the lay of the land and the stand of trees existing on the property. Planning and Zoning had recommended approval of this request. Mr. Jaworski said the homes in that area are constructed in a very uneven pattern so there is no line. Mayor Gourley moved to approve this request. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schilling's request for a special use permit to construct a professional building in Wollan's Estates was to be considered next. Mr. Schilling was not present at this time but Mr. Schumacher reported on what had been requested and went through the Planner's review of this request pointing out the items that needed to be either changed or corrected on this proposal. There was discussion on the need to alter the direction of the exiting traffic, the planned landscaping, type of construction, basement or not, the suggestion that the building be moved to the rear of the Jot - Mr. McLean moved to table consideration of this request until Mr. Schilling is present. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Mr. Jaworski asked that a landscaping diagram identifying the type of trees and shrubbery be included in this motion. Mr. McLean felt this can be included in the motion of this special use permit is granted. Motion carried unanimously. The next item was consideration of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as submitted by the City of Centerville. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to table this until the Movember 10, 1980 agenda. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Sharppen was present and reported on the problems that is being encountered by residents in having water in their basements due to the wrong installation of culverts - one on Main Street and one on 4th Avenue. Mr. Sharppen asked who owns these culverts and whose responsibility it is to see that the water drains properly. It was generally felt these are Anoka County culverts. Mr. Kulaszewicz said he had talked to Mr. Burman and Mr. Burman had called Mr. Matzke (who is also affected) and told him these ditches are the responsibility of Rice Creek Watershed Board. There was discussion as to where these ditches and culverts are located and just who's responsibility it is to take care of this drainage. Mr. McLean suggested contacting the County for clarification as to who owns the ditches.
