City Council Regular Meeting Minutes I June 27, 2000 Page 5 1 City Attorney, and Mr. Shardlow on a committee. 2 Morrison reaffirmed that a committee has been considered and stated that the proposed members 3 of the Committee were set forth in Assistant City Manager Isom's critical path document(which 4 was included in the Council's meeting agenda packets for informational purposes). 5 Motion by Cavanaugh to approve the Third Reading of Ordinance 2000-006, an Ordinance 6 Relating to Zoning and Planned Unit Developments; Amending Section 1655 of the St. Anthony 7 Code of Ordinances in its Entirety. 8 Motion carried unanimously. 9 X. REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONS AND STAFF. 10 A. Planning Commission Report from Meeting of June 20, 2000. 11 1. David and Paulette Sperry for 4004 Fordham Drive: Lot Width and Lot Variance 12 Requests. 13 Cavanaugh invited Doug Bergstrom, Chair of the Planning Commission, to address the 14 Council. Mr. Bergstrom reviewed for the Council that David and Paulette Sperry were seeking a variance request(for the second time) for their property at 4004 Fordham Drive. 16 The Commission and City had previously heard and granted the Sperry's request for a 17 variance in May of 1999.

One resident's 23 concern centered around the stormwater runoff from the new home to be constructed. 24 The other's concern was the issuance of variance requests until the flooding issues had 25 been resolved. Otherwise, Mr. Bergstrom stated, it appeared that the Sperrys had 26 communicated with their neighbors and there did not appear to be any strong objections 27 to the proposed construction. 28 Cavanaugh noted that Staff and Council could review other community's policies for 29 future use. 30 Motion by Horst to approve the request of Mr. and Mrs. David Sperry of a 15-foot lot 31 variance and a 1,015 lot coverage variance, which include the findings of fact as noted by 32 the Planning Commission in their meeting minutes of June 20, 2000.
