Board of Zoning Adjustments - August 27, 1997 Page 2 the garage, which is necessary due to the location of wetlands located on the site, and the area approved for construction of the septic system. The angle of connection between the garage and the house creates an enclosed space of approximately 196 sq ft. The Sullivans stated that approximately 96 sq ft of this was being used by the living room; the other 100 sq ft they desire to keep for open storage space in the garage. Staff recommends approval of the variance subject to the condition that the allowable square footage of accessory structure on the property be reduced by the amount of variance granted for the garage. Rubenzer made motion, Brunotte seconded, to approve the variance subject to the condition that any future accessory structures on the property be limited to the extent allowed by law minus 100 sq ft. All aye. Motion Carried. ONEKA CHILDCARE CENTER Mr. Tom Houk, representing the Center, 5525 141st Street, requested a variance from the City's sign setback. The City's sign ordinance allows a sign to be constructed 32 feet from the street easement. Mr. Houk proposes to construct his sign 22 feet from TH 61 and 10 feet from 141 st Street. Mr. Houk explained that the variance was necessary due to the large amount of wetland easement on the property which limits options for locating the sign. This wetland cuts across his property at an angle, and takes up a large amount of his frontage with Th 61. The location he has identified would place the sign along the edge of the parking being construct for the facility, and since the road right-of-way in this area in quite wide would still place it a substantial distance from TH 61. The City Engineer reviewed the proposed sign location and found no adverse consequences to the proposed site, and staff recommends approval of the variance subject to the stipulation that the sign be placed in as low a profile as possible. Goiffon made motion, Rubenzer seconded, to approve the variance allowing Mr. Houk to construct a pylon sign 10 feet from the right-of-way of 141 st Street and 22 feet from the right-of-way of TH 61. All aye. Motion Carried. Goiffon made motion, Brunotte seconded, to adjourn at 7:1OPM. All aye. Motion Carried. Robert A. Museus City Administrator
