COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 24, 1996 make the current driveway an entrance road to the property. Sixty six (66) feet would be needed for that roadway. Mr. Carlson further stated that until two (2) weeks ago, approval of his request appeared to be all but finalized. Now that he would like to apply for a rezone and/or a conditional use permit, he was told that there is good news and bad news. He noted that he has already purchased the land based on his earlier discussions with staff. After further discussion Council Member Neal moved to approve the minor subdivision request from Richard Carlson subject to the conditions recommend by the Planning and Zoning Board. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried with Council Member Kuether voting no. It was noted that this approval does not imply that any rezoning requests will be approved. Consideration of Rezone, Preliminary Plat and Planned Development Overlay, Bruce Hanson, Surfside Seaplane Base - Mr. Hanson submitted a letter requesting that this matter be tabled until a full Council is present. Council Member Kuether moved to table this matter until the next Council meeting. Mr. Hawkins reminded Council that by law, the Council must act on this matter within 60 days. If Mr. Hanson wants the matter delayed he should file a written waiver to the 60 day requirement. Council Member Neal seconded the motion, motion carried unanimously. Consideration of Variance, Gary Sandahl, 478 Lonesome Pine - Ms. Wyland reviewed her "green sheet" on this matter. Mr. Sandahl is requesting a variance from Section 4, Subdivision 31 Swimming Pools, (1)(D): The pool, filter unit, pump heating unit and any noise making mechanical equipment shall belocated at least 35 feet from any adjacent or nearby residence and not closer that 10 feet to any lot line. The Planning and Zoning Board is recommending a modification to this section of the Ordinance that would delete the following: "35 feet from any adjacent or nearby residence" reference but keep the 10 foot setback requirement. The proposed pool is currently located in a position that does not allow the property owner full view of the pool area from the kitchen area of the home as it must be located 35 feet from the property line to maintain a 35 foot distance from the adjoining residence. The applicant would like to locate the pool 10 feet from the side/rear property line which would place it 20 feet from the adjoining residence. This would require a variance of 15 feet. No variance would be required if the proposed ordinance were approved as revised by the Planning and Zoning Board. The applicant does intend to locate the pool equipment adjacent to his existing residence. PAGE 18
