LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 3, 1986 PAGE 4 Mayor Morgan opened up the public hearing at 8:02 p.m. in the City Council chambers. Roger and Mary Kostelnik, 8o98 Hill Trail N, wish to add a 21' x 16' family room onto their existing house at Lots 495, 496 and the N 1/2 of 497, 643, 644 and the N 1/2 of 642, and the S 1/2 of vacated Beach Lane. One variance is required to allow the addition at 43 feet from the water where 100 feet is required. The hardship in this case is that the addition cannot be made to meet the setback and still be attached to the house. City Engineer Bohrer advised that the important factor here is that the proposed addition will not increase the non-conformance of the existing house. Bohrer recommended that the variance be granted. FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. That this is an existing developed lot; therefore, lot size variance is not being considered. 2. That the lot size is 0.29 acres. 3. That the applicants own the lot and house to the north, formerly Hahn's. This house is rented out, but the applicants plan to demolish the house and incorporate the land into their lot in the future. This would make the total lot size 0.61 acres. 4. That the septic system is on the street side of the lot, about 8-10 years old, and not experiencing any difficulties. 5. That the proposed addition can meet the side yard setback of 10 feet, but not the lake side setback of 100 feet. The addition is proposed to be in line with the front of the house and not increase the non-conformance. 6. That public notice was duly sent and published. 7. That thepe was no one in the audience to speak against the proposal. Mayor Morgan closed the public hearing at 8:12 p.m. M/S/P Mazzara/Morgan - to grant Roger Kostelnik a shoreland.permit and variance to add a family room onto their existing house at 8098 Hill Trail North per Larry Bohrer's recommendation stated on page 2 of his May 28, 1986 letter to the City Administrator. (Motion carried 5-0). 9. Shoreland Permit: Kenneth Isaacson, 8009 Hill Trail N. Mr. Ken Isaacson has applied for a Shoreland Permit in order to build a house. FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. That the property consists of one parcel 2.18 acres in size (including Hill Trail as travelled) at the Intersection of 50th Street and DeMontreville Trail. 2. That the Certificate of Survey, topographic map and soil tests show that no variances from Shoreland Regulations are required.
