LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 10-2-84 p.m. in the council chambers. PAGE 9 Mr. Nelson was present and explained to the Council that there is presently a 60' x 40' building on the lot. He stated he would like to keep the building because it would be a waste to tear it down. The building will be used for storage and he would like to keep it up permanently. Mr. Nelson would like to develop the lot with this barn on it first. Dorothy Lyons asked for clarification as to where the house would be located. There were no other residents present to speak for or against this proposal. Eder stated that he has a problem with the building staying there. Fraser stated that the planning in general makes a lot of sense, but has questions about leaving the garage there permanently. Mazzara feels that the barn would look out of place with the proposed five new homes. Mr. Nelson agreed with the option recommended by Eder to keep the garage until the house is sold. The public hearing was closed at 9:30 p.m. The Engineer advised the Council that the changes to the plat have been made regarding his concerns for right-of-way, lot size, and street grades. There are still unresolved concerns regarding this plat and they are (1) Lot 1 now has at least one acre of land exclusive of drainage easements and suitable for drainfield proposes except that the drainage easement severs the northerly 80 feet from the rest of the lot. A variance from the one acre rule may be in order because the existing home on Lot 1 is assumed to have a functioning system and there is more than sufficient room on the southerly portion of Lot 1 to provide an adequate system; and (2) Drainage computations have been received but have not been fully acceptable to the VBWD. The Engineer recommended that preliminary plat approval not be given until it is shown that all drainage requirements can be met. These drainage requirements may change easement size or lot configuration. M/S/P Eder/Dunn - To table a decision on the approval of Mr. Nelson preliminary plat and zoning code variance until October 16, 1984. (Motion carried 4-0). J.

The variances requested are for lot size, building elevation and drainfield elevation.
