SCHUMACHER's REPORT ON COUNCIL ACTION Due to having only three members present at the last Council meeting, no action could be taken on the rezone request. The variance request for Mr. Krube was approved. Mr. Schumacher reported there had been discussion on the Comprehensive Plan and on the need to hold another public hearing on the Plan. He will keep the Board aware of the actions of the Council on this matter. VARIANCE - MR. ZADUTKE 41) Mr. Zadutke had been present but was not present at this time. This matter was laid aside for the present. VARIANCE - OLSON Mr. Olson has a lot on West Shadow Lake Drive and is seeking a variance to construct a home on that lot. Mr. Doocy reported that a lot in an unsewered area must contain one acre and this lot contains only 1/3 acre. Under Ordinance #56, a!lot must contain at least 600 of the requirement, otherwise, a variance is requried. Mr. Prokop pointed out this is a low lot and also is on the Lake side and this area will be carefully monitored. Mr. Schumacher pointed out that old lots of record are the lots that must contain 60% of the current requirements in order to be developed. If the lots do not contain this 60%, then a variance is necessary. This lot is in a plat that was filer before the Ordinance was passed. The lots were platted as lots to be sewered but the sewer was never installed. Now, in order to develop those lots, it must be proven that a septic system can be installed without causing pollution to the Lake. Mr. Prokop noted the area to the South that had been considered for platting just recently. He said he would like to see a contour plan of this area and 41) a plot plan showing where the house, septic system and drain fields are to be located. Also, the location of the well. Mr. Johnson felt the City is almost in colusion with the sellers of this property in that this buyer was unaware of the requirements for development of the lots. Planning and Zoning Board November 18, 1981 Page Two. 0 Mr. Schumacher pointed out that the City cannot be responsible for the selling of lots in this City. Mr. Doocy asked if the memo of August 21st is made available to all applicants for variance and Mr. Schumacher said he did not know. Mr. Schumacher pointed out that when this matter had been brought before the Council, this variance procedure had been adopted because they had felt this would be the most efficient manner in which this could be handled. Mr. Doocy noted the items that should be complied with - the 6 listed on the back of the application - and to keep in close contact with the Building Inspector. When the items have been completed, contact the office and he will be put on the agenda. Mr. Prokop asked for a contour map showing the elevation and Mr. Olson asked where he would get something like that? It was generally felt this could be had from the City Engineer. MR. Olson asked if he had to get a survey of the lot and Mr. Prokop said, not necessairly. Mr. Schumacher said a site plan is what is needed showing the location of the home and all the utilities. Mr. Prokop moved to table Mr. Olson's application for a variance until such time as he meets the stipulations in the Building Inspectior of August 21, 1981, also meets the requirements set forth at this meeting. MR. Doocy added, the recommendations of the Engineer and the Planner and the high water IIIlevel. Mr. Johnson seconded the motion as amended. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Prokop suggested that the owners of the lots on West Shadow Lake Drive be sent the letter of August 21, 1981 informing them of the requirements for construction. Mr. Prokop made this into a motion. Mr. Johnson seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Olson said having people appearing before the Board unprepared, taking up time - he felt they should be better informed. Mr. Schumacher pointed out that all the information necessary for the application of the variance is printed on the back of the application. Mr. Zadutke was not present. Mr. Schumacher said this person was here and talked with him briefly noting the items he would need. There was no back up information for this request. Mr.Prokop asked if this would be a move in the right direction to allow the making two lots out of three? There were several items missing before this request can be considered. Mr. Prokop moved to table this matter and advise Mr. Zadutke provide the necessary itmes. Seconded by Mr. Johnson. Motion carried unanimously. There was discussion on the problems of contamination of the lake with the development of the lots along West Shadow Lake Drive. The Board was con- cerned with how these lots could be developed without endangering the lake. It was generally felt that many of these concerns will fall on the building inspector. Planning and Zoning Board November 18, 1981 Page Three NEW BUSINESS 411 Mr. Doocy asked that this Board be filled in on the request of Mr. Garske on the matter of a request to open an Auction Barn at the Lino Body Shop on Lake Drive. Mr. Doocy reported this person had asked if he could operate an Auction Barn out of the garage located at 7702 Lake Drive. This has been researched and there is no ordinance govering this and, at the present, there is no fee schedule for a license. Mr. Schumacher said it is very difficult to control what is sold at a place such as this. Mr. Johnson said he had some Ordinances from other cities and if there is one concerned with this type of operation, it could be used as a model. The general consensus of the Board was that before this could be dealth with an ordinance should be written. ULMER's RICE LAKE ADD. III This addition had been tabled previously until this meeting. Mr. Doocy recommend this matter be tabled until it is requested to be put back on the agenda. Mrs. Klaus moved to table consideration of Ulmer's Rice Lake Add.
