COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 22, 2000 There was no Public Services Department report. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT REPORT, BRIAN WESSEL SECOND READING, Ordinance No. 08 — 00, Vacation of 74th Street (4/5 Vote Required), Mary Kay Wyland — Staff advised Mr. Gary Uhde, owner of the Apollo Business Center, is requesting vacation of the 74th Street right-of-way between Apollo Drive and Jon Avenue. The roadway is currently unused and inaccessible from the east. The City has determined that the road right-of-way is not needed for public purposes, however, the City will need to retain a drainage and utility easement over the vacated right-of-way. The City has received a letter from the Minnesota Correctional Facility Physical Plant Director indicating no objections to the roadway vacation provided the drainage/utility easement is maintained. The Correctional Facility's utilities are currently within the 74th Street right-of-way. The City Council held a public hearing and approved the first reading of this ordinance at their May 8, 2000, meeting. Staff recommended approval of the second reading of Ordinance No. 08 — 00, as stipulated in the City Charter.

Council Member Dahl voted yea. Council Member O'Donnell voted yea. Council Member Reinert voted yea. Mayor Bergeson voted yea. Motion carried unanimously.

Accessory Buildings and Structures, 1. General Provision. c. No detached accessory structure shall be closer to the front lot line then the principal building or its attached garage. Mr. Carl Johnson is the owner of Lot 11, Block 1, Lino AirPark North, and has been since October of 1996. The property is Zoned Rural, and is approximately 1.4 acres in size. When Mr. Johnson purchased this lot, the City's Zoning Ordinance did not contain the provision outlined above and, in fact, allowed accessory buildings and structures anywhere on the lot provided required setbacks were maintained. Special provisions allowed AirPark lots 3200 square foot hangers. The section of the ordinance referenced above was added to the Zoning Ordinance when it was amended in July of 1997. Mr. Johnson is, therefore, asking for a Variance from this section of the ordinance to allow construction of a hanger in front of the principal building.
