LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 6, 2004 8 Due to the lake front location of this property and the substantial mature tree coverage between the proposed structure location on Hidden Bay Trail, staff recommended adoption of the Resolution to approve the garage location. The City Planner noted since the applicant’s sketch appears to identify the proposed location to be 30 feet from the approved surface of Hidden Bay Trail rather than the right-of-way property line. He recommended a condition of approval that specifies that the front property line be located in the field, and the structure be no less than 30 feet from that line. The Planner stated that based on aerial photos, it appeared that the street surface of Hidden Bay Trail was skewed to the north edge of the right of way, so the garage location should not change more than a few feet from that depicted by the sketch to meet the proper 30 foot set back. M/S/P Johnston/DeLapp - to adopt Resolution No. 2004-057, A Resolution Approving the location of a 31 foot by 32 foot detached garage structure nearer the front property line than the principal structure for Link Lavey at 8510 Hidden Bay Trail, per sketch plan staff dated July 1, 2004, subject to the following conditions. 1. The property line and right-of-way line for Hidden Bay Trail must be located and staked. A building permit shall not be issued until the Building Official verifies that the garage will be located 30 feet from the front property line as identified. 2. No trees or vegetation shall be removed within the 30 foot street set back area to Hidden Bay Trail. 3. Prior to issuance of a building permit for the garage structure, the property owner shall submit a scaled drawing depicting the exact location of the proposed garage structure in relation to the Hidden Bay Trail right-of-way line and any other structures on the site.
