CITY OF ST. ANTHONY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 24 , 1979 The meeting was called to order by Mayor Haik at 7 : 30 p.m. Present for roll call: Letourneau, Ranallo , Haik , Sundland , and Sauer. Also present: Jim Fornell, City Manager Ron Berg, Administrative Assistant Dennis Buratti , City Attorney Motion by Councilman Letourneau and seconded by Councilman Sauer to approve as submitted the minutes for the Council meeting held on March 27 , 1979 . Motion carried unanimously. Doug Jones reported actions taken and recommendations to the Council made by the Planning Board during their meeting April 17, 1979 , as reflected in the minutes of that meeting. Council approval was recommended for the additional five foot front yard setback variance to the variances already granted Elmer Hansen for the single family residence he proposes to build on Lot 1 of the replatted property he owns at 4033 Silver Lake Terrace , Mr. Jones said. He then cor- rected a reference in the minutes to the distance the structure will be from the platted roadway saying a measurement taken revealed that distance t o be 20 rather than 25 feet, which was agreed to by Mr. Hansen, who was present. Motion by Councilman Sundland and seconded by Councilman Sauer to grant an additional five foot front yard depth setback variance to Elmer Hansen, which will permit him to reduce to twenty feet the front yard of the single family residence he proposes to construct on Lot 1 , Block 1, Olson Addition, finding as did the Planning Board that: granting the variance will not destroy the unique and unusual characteristics of that particular area of the City because the new structure will be consistent with the front yard setbacks of exis- ting structures on that cul du sac; taking into consideration the additional usable dedicated land the City is gaining through the lot split, road vacation and variances which have already been granted to Mr. Hansen, and noting no neighbor opposition to the proposal at either of the two hearings on the requested changes . Motion carried unanimously. The Board representative then reported that body had tabled action on the request from Robert Bartz that he and Sid Johnson be allowed to convert the double bungalows they are constructing on the corner of 39th Avenue N.E. and Macalaster Drive for private ownership. He said in view of the separate water and sewer service to each of the six units , the Board had questioned whether private ownership had not been intended when the project was planned.
