LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 7, 1986 PAGE 7 Attorney Carlson stated despite what Mr. Sovereign feels, this does not prevent him from coming in with another proposal which would meet all the variances based on the property that he owns. Carlson confirmed, from a legal standpoint, tht Mr. Sovereign does not have a hardship for either variance request. M/S/P Mazzara/Morgan - to deny the simple lot subdivision and preliminary plat request by Ken Sovereign based on lot size. (Motion carried 5-0). M/S/F Christ/Morgan - to approve a lakeshore frontage variance of 125 feet based on the circumstances that this is one of largest lake frontage on Olson Lake and provide direction for another proposal which would not require a lot size variance to be brought in. (Motion Failed 2-3<Mazzara, Dunn, Armstong> Mazzara: He was not comfortable with the motion, but he would be in favor of the request if Sovereign came in with a 1 1/2 acre lot which meets the subdivision ordinance. Dunn: He voted no because he does not feel that the City should be sending out mandates in form of motions on these other variances. Armstrong: In the Northrup/Smith request, they too had enough acreage to divide and she voted they should have the correct amount of frontage. She would vote the same way on this application.) 8. Public Hearing: Request for Variance to the Development Moratorium, Joseph Rogers Mayor Morgan called the public hearing to order at 8:25 p.m. in the City Council chambers. Attorney Don Raleigh was representing ,Toe Rogers who is requesting an application to rezone his 17 acres on Hwy 5/Cty 6 to any zoning classification that would permit the use proposed by Brockman Trucking for storage of truck trailers and eventually building a repair garage. Brockman's timetable will allow them to wait for a longer period of time so December will not be too late to set a public hearing for the zoning request. A request was made by Attorney Raleigh to withdraw Joseph Rogers' request for a variance to the Development Moratorium until the moratorium expires. Mayor Morgan closed the public hearing at 8:33 p.m. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT A. 201 Program 1. Update on the Condemnation for Land Acquisition City Engineer referred to the letter written to City Administrator Overby by William Schwab, Penfield Inc. dated October 2, 1986. In this letter Mr. Schwab states the latest status report on the remaining parcels that the Council has not made a decision on. It had appeared to Mr. Schwab that he was going to be able to negotiate these purchases, but due to the time constraints the City has he is now recommending condemnation.
