The parcel is a strip which runs from Hodgson Road (330 foot frontage) to Ware Road (330 foot frontage). Mr. Goertz plans to build a single- family home on the tract fronting Ware Road and make arrangements to hook up to utilities which may possibly be extended to this area from the Shoreview system. Mrs. Nelson said that she had reservations with this application for several reasons: The property is largely within Zone A on the Flood Plain map; this may not only impede extension of utilities, but also Mrs. Nelson understood that utilities which run through a flood zone cannot be assessed in the usual manner. Another concern was that the driveway to the proposed homesite would also be in the flood zone. The Board also questioned whether there is one acre of buildable property on the newly - created parcel (as required by ordinance). Mr. Kluegel assured the Board that in his opinion at least one acre of buildable land exists; the DNR may have to address this situation; City Council may have to grant a variance for the driveway. The point was brought up that the P & Z Board is only dealing with a minor subdivision request with this application by Mr. McShannock. The questions with regard to building, driveway, utilities need not be considered in order to approve the subdivision. MOTION: Mrs. Averbeck moved to recommend to Council approval of application 87 -2 from Donald McShannock (dated 2/11/87) for a minor subdivision based on the fact that it meets the basic requirements of 5 acres minimum in this zone, 330' frontage, and one acre minimum buildable land. Mr. Prokop seconded the motion which carried with Mrs. Nelson voting no. MINOR SUBDIVISION - VERNON WAHLBERG Mr. Kluegel explained that a prospective buyer wishes to obtain a mortgage on only the house and one of the five acres in this parcel. The applicant is requesting splitting the one acre where the house is located from the other four acres. Apparently the reason this is necessary is that the lending institution needs a separate legal description. The property in question is a nonconforming use (residential in a GB zone). Mr. Johnson voiced his concern that approving this request may be "intensifying" a nonconforming use, which is • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD February 11, 1987 Page Three prohibited by Section 4, Subd. 3(8) of the City Code. He suggested that the City Attorney give an opinion on this "intensification" question. MOTION: Mr. Prokop moved to recommend to Council denial of the minor subdivision request of Vernon Wahlberg (application #87 -3, dated 1/29/87) contingent upon the City Attorney's finding that such action would be "intensifying a nonconforming use" (reference to Section 4, Subd. 3(8) of the City Code). Should the City Attorney find that approval does not intensify a nonconforming use, the P & Z Board wishes to reconsider the application. Motion seconded by Mr. Joyer and carried unanimously. VARIANCE TO ACCESSORY BUILDING ORDINANCE - KEN CHAPEAU Mr. Kluegel and Mr. Chapeau explained that Mr. Chapeau has con- structed a storage area to the rear of his garage which is larger than allowed by ordinance. Mr. Kluegel said that he was unaware of this building taking place since no building permit was issued. Mrs. Chapeau said that they understood that a permit was not re- quired since the construction of the storage area was of "deck" type on pillars. Mr. Kluegel brought this issue to the P 6 Z Board because he felt that since the storage area was attached to the garage, it merely increases the square footage of the garage. Al- though Mr. Chapeau would be allowed to build a tool shed and /or a storage building on his property, the question which needs to be answered is whether the intent of the ordinance is that such tool shed or storage building be separate, not attached to any other building on the property. The consensus of the Board was that the intent of the ordinance was that the structures be separate, not attached. Mr. Chapeau presented a diagram which showed the layout of his home, garage, septic system, etc. on the property. He felt that a variance should be granted since there was a hardship caused by the water table, low land, and placement of structures and septic. Boardmembers made suggestions as to where a tool shed could be located. Mrs. Averbeck then questioned whether the structure meets the building code, regardless of whether it meets the accessory building ordinance. Mr. Kluegel said he would have to check the structure to determine this. MOTION: Mr. Prokop moved that application #87 -1, dated 12/22/86, from Kenneth Chapeau be tabled until such time that Mr. Kluegel can determine if the structure meets the building code, and if not, what would be required to meet the building code. Mrs. Averbeck seconded the motion which carried with Mrs. Nelson voting no. • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD February 11, 1987 Page Four At this time the Board took a five - minute break. SITE & BUILDING PLAN - LLOYD McKINNEY (CUSTOM MANUFACTURING) Mr. Kluegel and a representative from Custom Manufacturing presented the site and building plan for an injection molding plant on three lots in Lino Industrial Park. Since the application and building plan were submitted, the State has notified the applicant that each of the two accesses to the plant need be 32' wide, rather than the 25' shown on the building plan. Unless the State would agree to a 32' wide access which would taper to the 25' shown on the building plan, the entire building would need to be shifted to the south. The applicant said that this would not be a problem, that the drawing was simply drawn on the premise of 25' accesses, and that Custom Manufacturing would provide whatever the State requires. MOTION: Mr. Joyer moved to recommend to Council approval of the site and building plan of Lloyd McKinney (Custom Manufacturing), (application #87 -4, dated 1- 29 -87) based on the Planner's recommenda- tion, with the following stipulations: 1) Tree diameters - Marshall Ash 3" - 4 ", Colorado Spruce 6' - 8' at planting, 2) State to deter- mine whether accesses be 32' wide or 32' entrance tapering to 25', 3) Area shown as seeded be completed by 9/15/88, 4) An escrow be held by the City for paving to be completed by 9/15/88. Mr. Prokop seconded the motion which carried unanimously. Mr. Prokop asked, as a matter of record, whether any of the materials used in the plant would create toxic waste material. The representa- tive said no, there would be no toxic waste. BUILDING STANDARDS - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #05 -86 The Board reviewed proposed ordinance #05 -86 and the changes recommended to same by the City Planner. This issue has been discussed at length at past meetings. MOTION: Mr. Prokop moved to recommend to Council adoption of Ordinance No. 05 -86 (as found on Page Five of these minutes). Mr. Irwin seconded the motion which carried unanimously. CREATION OF A "CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT" - PROPOSED ORDINANCE 17 -86 Lengthy discussion on this issue resulted in the following motion. MOTION: Mr. Prokop moved to recommend to Council adoption of Ordin- ance No. 17 -86 (as found on Pages 6, 7 & 8 of these minutes). Mrs. Nelson seconded the motion which carried unanimously. • CITY OF LINO LAKES COUNTY OF ANOKA Ordinance No. 05 - 86 PLANNING £ ZONING BOARD February 11, 1987 Page Five AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY CODE, APPENDIX B, ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LINO LAKES, BY AMENDING SUBDIVISION 4, SECTION (4) DESIGN STANDARDS, ITEM (G) BUILDING DESIGN.
