LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 18, 1996 M/S/P Hunt/Johnston - to adopt Resolution No. 96-12, A Resolution ordering the Improvement of CSAH 13 (Inwood Avenue) from CSAH 6 (Stillwater Blvd.) to CSAH 10 in accordance with plans as presented by the Washington County Public Works Dept. (Motion passed 5-0). 6. PLANNING/LAND USE & ZONING: A. Case No. V/96-14, Variance to lot width: Mike Severin, 8012 50th St. (Continued) As directed by Council, the staff has reviewed additional background regarding the Meier property and the Severin property. On June 6, 1989, the Council postponed consideration to deny a variance request to lot size and frontage for Mrs. Meier's property. It was also stated that a building would be a disruption to the adjoining property owners. City Planner Terwedo reported the south parcel should not be considered a buildable lot, but it does seem reasonable to allow an accessory structure on the lot. A restrictive convenant should be placed on this south parcel which would only allow an accessory structure and would tie the two parcels together. Terwedo recommended that Bennett Street not be vacated at this time. Mrs. Meier was invited to meet with the City Planner and Administrator to discuss what could be done with her lot. M/S/P Hunt/DeLapp - to approve Case No. V/96-14, Variance to lot width to Mike Severin, 8012 50th St., with the conditions, as amended (#3 Delete second sentence. Add:fence placed on the crest near the north property line, #4 Before issuance of building permit a restrictive convenant shall be placed on the lot and filed with Washington County.) and based on findings of Case Review dated 6-18-96. (Motion passed 5-0). B.
