III.A 92 -9 Variance, Brandywood, Lot 3, Block 4 The Board was advised that this is a request for a Variance for lot width at the building setback line.

City Engineer Schneider reviewed this request which is to allow construction on Outlot A, Otter Lake Estates, of a single family residence, grant a variance for lot width (180' required in an SR -X Zoning District), and grant a variance for the private use of public right of way. Mr. Schneider also reviewed the history of the site which was platted in 1977 with the dedicated Channel Drive for future subdivision of Outlots A & B. Staff recommended approval of the request with the condition that a Driveway Agreement be drafted by the City Attorney for use of Channel Drive. RCWD will be reviewing this item at their May 27th meeting. Monika Slatten asked if the adjoining property owners had been notified of this request and was advised that they were not and that the City is not required to provide such notification in this case. Planning members were also advised that this request was reducing the originally proposed density. Kathleen Nordine asked if the property owner(s) intended to subdivide their property in the future and was advised that they did not (Both Turcotte and Olson) . MOTION: Al Robinson moved and was supported by Tom Mesich to approve the request as submitted with the condition that a Driveway Agreement as drafted by the City Attorney be properly executed and that the Fire Chief have an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed construction and driveway alignment and that the request meet with the approval of the Rice Creek Watershed District. All voted aye. Motion carried. III.C. 92 -12 &13 Site Plan Review - Variance for R. Olson, Outlot B Otter Lake Estates City Engineer Schneider explained that this request is similar to the Turcotte request and requires the same variances for lot frontage in an SR -X Zoning District and for the private use of public right -of -way. Note: A variance for lot area is not necessary as this property is a lot of record. MOTION: Kathleen Nordine moved and was supported by Thomas Mesich to approve the request as submitted with the condition that a Driveway Agreement as drafted by the City Attorney be property executed and that the Fire Chief have an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed construction and driveway alignment and that the request meet with the approval of the Rice Creek Watershed District. All voted aye. Motion carried. • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAY 13, 1992 IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. 7080 Lake Drive - Planning Consultant Al Brixius reviewed this items which involves property on Lake Avenue Zoned GB and containing a single family residence in good repair. The property is for sale and a potential buyer would like to operate a small business out of the accessory building located on the property. According to the Zoning Ordinance, the business is a permitted use but the single family residence is not, and the Ordinance does not have any provision for this type of situation. Staff is asking the Planning Board for direction in this matter as there are other properties within the City in similar circumstances. Mr. Brixius provided the Planning Board with an example of an "Interim Use Permit" and the State Legislation creating such a vehicle for the Boards review. The Interim Use Permit would allow a use similar to that mentioned and provide an expiration date allowing the property to be brought into total conformance with the Zoning Ordinance at a future date. The purpose is to encourage and promote business, allow use of the single family home and provide for an orderly transition to a total business use. The Planning Board had several questions regarding the site and the use of an Interim Use Permit. Tom Mesich asked if we could issue a CUP for this use and was advised that the Interim Use Permit would be the best tool to use. James Schaps asked what could be done in the next 30 days regarding this item. City Engineer Schneider stated that we could take the matter to the City Council Work Session and ask them for direction. The Planning Board concurred with this suggested and also indicated that they would be willing to hold a special meeting to review the matter if necessary. B. Apitz Garage, Birch Street - Rocky Goertz was present representing Apitz Garage. He explained they are proposing a 576 square foot addition to their building and have letters from three adjoining property owners indicating no objections. He asked the Planning Board if they could possibly waive the public hearing as there are not objections to the request and construction time is short. The Board advised him that he would have to go through the public hearing process as this is an Amended Conditional Use Permit. Tom Mesich moved and was seconded by Monika Slatten to schedule the public hearing for June 10, 1992. All voted aye. Motion carried. C. Comprehensive Plan - Planning Consultant Brixius reviewed three Comprehensive Plan Amendments involving the Sewer Plan, Land Use Plan, and MUSA Expansion. He explained that these amendments have been reviewed and approved by the Metro Council but not officially adopted by the City Council. Mr. Brixius' reports are on file and • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAY 13, 1992 were provided to all Board Members. No action was required from the Planning Board at this time. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 9:10 P.M.
