City Council meeting of July 3, 2000 Page 3 Petryk made motion, Barnes seconded, to table this matter until July 17, 2000. All aye. Motion Carried. APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE REQUEST FROM AL AND LINDA MARCU FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A DECK At its June 28, 2000 meeting, the Planning Commission considered a variance request from Al and Linda Marcu to construct a deck closer to their property line than current City building code allows. The PC recommended to the City Council approval of the variance for Al and Linda Marcu, 15350 Everton Avenue, to construct a deck on the south of their home 2 ft from the property line, where a 40 ft setback is required. The Marcus must meet a number of conditions for approval. Linda Marcu addressed the Council stating that because the cost to have their property was too expensive, they would revise their request and construct a 12' deck, 10' from the property line. City staff suggested to the Council that the Marcus' indeed from the property stakes to eliminate future problems that most assuredly would arise. Barnes made motion, Stoltzman seconded, to approve the variance request of Al and Linda Marcu, 153 50 Everton Avenue, to construct a deck on the south side of their home two feet from the property line, where a 40 ft setback is required. Approval is subject to the following conditions being met: 1. The deck not be converted to a 3 -season porch. 2. The deck be constructed no closer than six (6) feet of the south property line. 3. The deck be stepped down, so that the lower portion nearest the south property line has a minimum north -south dimension of four (4) feet depth. 4. A survey be carried out by a Register Land Survey that establishes the south property line, and that a copy of this survey be provided to the City Building Official prior to issuance of the variance. All aye. Motion Carried. REQUEST FROM DON & PAULINE RICE a, 9497140TH STREET FOR CITY ASSISTANCE FOR MNDNR FLOOD DAMAGE REDUCTION FUNDING Don and Pauline Rice, 9497 14CP Street, have had problems with rising water from Lake Plaisted encroaching on their property for the past six years. They are no longer able to use their septic system, and have had to haul drinking water into their home for personal use. The Rices have presented their issue to the Brown's Creek Watershed District, and have sought assistance from county and state officials. They have finally come to the City of Hugo seeking assistance as they make application to the state for funding the purchase of their house and property. State regulations do not allow private individuals to make application for state funding. Rather, state law says they must seek assistance from the respective county and/or city they reside in. City staff met with Don and Pauline Rice and Mark Doneux recently to discuss this application process. Mr.
