City Council Minutes - March 2, 1992 Page _ VARIANCE REQUEST (TIPPELT) Mr. Paul Tippelt, 15936 Harrow Avenue, has made application to the City of Hugo for a variance to construct a 2,884 sq. ft. addition to an existing garage. The total accessory storage meets the 3644 sq. ft. allowed in an agricultural zone. If the previous site plan for the existing garage was drawn to scale, it indicates that the existing garage should have been located approximately 31 ft. from the south property line, while in fact, the building was constructed 3.5 ft. from the property line. The site in question is approximately 2.25 acres in size, and is on the east shoreline of Onek:a Lake. There does not appear to be any hardship to the land, which would necessitate a variance. The staff would recommend that the applicant comply with the current setback:. regulations for the agricultural zone. This matter was to be dealt with by the Board of Zoning Adjustments on February 26, 1992, but due to the fact that Board Member Jesinsk:i was the only member present, there was no discussion conducted on this matter. The application is forwarded to the City Council without a recommendation. Motion made by Miron, seconded by Stolt man to approve the variance request of Paul Tippelt, 15936 Harrow Ave., to construct a 2,880 sq. foot addition to an existing garage, 3.5 feet from the south property line. Voting AYE: Barnes, Brunotte, Miron, Stolt man Voting NAY: Jesinsk;i It was noted that Mr. Tippelt would li.k::e to change the dimensions of his proposed structure from 40' X 72' to 36' X E30' with a lower roof. Administrator Huber stated that the variance is only for the setback:: from the lot line and not building size. PRELIMINARY PLAT AMENDMENTS (COUNTRY FONDS) On behalf of Arlington Properties (Country Ponds), Mr. Richard Sagstetter has requested an opportunity to appear before the City Council to discuss drainage concerns regarding the proposed Country Ponds subdivision. The preliminary plat of the proposed subdivision was reviewed by the Planning Commission, and subsequently approved by the City Council, subject to special conditions. Although it is not clear in Mr. Sagstetter's letter, it would appear that he is requesting that the City Council deviate from conditions of preliminary plat approval Nos. 23 and 24. In the past, the Planning Commission has requested that in cases where the developer wishes to deviate significantly from the original preliminary plat proposal, the request then be referred back: to the Planning Commission for review. In light of the fact that the request in question would typically be dealt with at the time of final plat review, we would recommend the City Council follow current policy and deal with this issue at that time. If the City Council wishes to address this issue prior to final plat review, we would suggest that this matter be referred bact:: to the Planning Commission for their review and input. Mayor Stolt man stated that he did not approve of the "piece mealing" effect and requests that the applicants appear before the City Council when they have secured all required documents. Mr. Stolt man also stated Fie would like to retain conditions 23 and 24 of the preliminary plat approval.
