� ^ � 7. The garage be used for personal storage, and residential vehicles only. All aye, motion passed . Ma Matt and Lauri Pilla have made application to the City of Hugo for a variance to allow the construction of a 24' X 36' garage between the house and the roadway at 10257 152nd St. Mr. Pilla had initially been given a verbal O.K. by the building inspector to proceed with the construction of this garage and was later told that the building location did not comply with city zoning regulations. Mr. Pilla had already poured the concrete slab for the construction of his building on the O.K. from the building inspector. He is requesting a variance to allow him to proceed with the construction of the garage noting topography, location of sewer, drainfield , and water problems as the reasons for building the garage at the proposed location . Mr. Pilla has stated that the proposed building is to be used for residential vehicle storage only. The Pilla' s had tried vigorously to appear at a zoning board meeting prior to the Planning Commission meeting of Aug . 26, 1987. They were unsuccessful in trying to have a special meeting called , which forced them to wait until September 23. Mr. Pilla proceeded with the construction of the garage without proper authorization . Zoning board members felt that the garage could have been located somewhere else on site with the same amount of excavating for the building that was done for the home. There was concern that because of the curve in the road the illusion of the garage being in the middle of the road would cause a problem at night. Mr. Potts felt that since Mr. Pilla had been ' the o. k . to proceed I n witconstruction ad the sbe lab had ben poured outhe City would take responsibility for that portion , but construction continued after being told to stop work on the building and the City should not be held responsible for that if the building were to be removed . Mr. Potts observed during his visits to the site that the septic is on the west side of the home, the well is on the east and the building could have been located east of the well . Motion made by Olson , seconded by Sonnenfeld to recommend approval of the variance request of Matt Pilla to construct a 24' X 36' garage at 10257 152nd St. to within 70' of the road subject to the following conditions; 1 . Mr. Pilla plant six pine trees on the west side of the garage at the north end in a staggered pattern . 2. Trees to be 6' tall and at Mr. Pilla' s expense. 3. Garage to be used for personal storage only, commercial use is strictly prohibited . 4. Failure to comply with these conditions would be grounds for revocation . All aye, motion passed .
