Motion made by Peloquin, seconded by Fashingbauer, to recommend approval of the Special Use Permit for Dave Woeltge, 5747 150th Street, to move in an 18 x 20 garage to be used for personal storage. All aye. Motion Carried. RICHARD MATTHEWS - SPECIAL USE PERMIT Mr. Matthews has purchased 5.5 acres frau Mr. Tom Clark on 132nd Street. He would like to construct a 20 x 24 garage on his property prior to construction of his residence. The building would be used for storage and workshop while the house is being constructed. Mr. Matthews submitted proof of ownership, along with a letter from the fee owners stating they have no objections. A copy of the perc test was given to Mr. Crever for his review, meeting with his approval. Matthews stated that he had hoped to start construction of his residence this year, but because of the present interest rates, would not be able to start until 1982. Greger stated that similar requests had been made by Mr. Warnecke and Mr. Ray Olson, requiring them to provide Letters of Credit, in the amount of $5,000, to insure that they obtain a valid Building Permit. Knuteson felt that some assurance could be provided by means of an insurance policy, in case of fire, or necessity to have the building removed from the property. There were some members that felt that the cost of financial guarantees should not be placed on applicants, even though similar requests had been made on other applicants Motion made by Greger, seconded by Hanson, to recommend approval of the Special Use Permit for Richard Matthews, to construct a 20 x 24 accessory building prior to the principal structure, with the stipulation that Mr. Matthews provide a Letter of Credit, in the amount of $1,500.00. This condition to be eliminated when Mr. Matthews obtains a valid Building Permit. Discussion continued regarding the requirement for a Letter of Credit. Greger felt that the City could not treat Mr. Matthews any different than previous applicants. Fashingbauer thought that the City should consider a change because of the lending circumstances. Knuteson commented again on a possible assignment on Matthew's in- surance policy, and thought there could be a better way of handling the matter than a Letter of Credit. He felt that the City should be N�ible, and not let the past determine the future. Tom Crever stated that i7cost about $100 to tear a building down, and quite a bit less than $1500 to have it removed. Fashingbauer wanted to see the matter handled with the least expense to the applicant.
