The meeting was called to order by Mayor Atkinson at 7:00 PM. PRESENT: McAllister, Jesinski, Olson, Vail, Atkinson City Administrator, Keh Huber City Engineer, Howard Kuusisto City Clerk, Mary Ann Creager Vail made motion, Olson seconded, to approve the minutes for the regular City Council meeting of September 17, 1990 as amended. All aye. Motion Carried. Jesinski made motion, Olson seconded, to approve the claims for October 1, 1990 in the amount of $131,014.84. All aye. Motion Carried. Mr. Cary Strantz has made application to the City of Hugo for a variance to allow for the construction of a swimming pool and deck within 9' of the property line on his property at 5920 138th St., Hugo, Minnesota (Lot 1, Block 1, Hugo Meadows Subd.). City ordinances require a 30' setback for all structures on corner lots, and this request would allow encroachment 21' into that setback. Originally, Mr. Strantz proposed to construct the swimming pool in the back yard; however, he was prohibited from doing so because of the drainage easement located on site. The City staff could not tell if the deck and swimming pool will create any visual obstructions for motor vehicles traveling on 138th St. or Foxhill Ave.; however, without a deck elevation, it is difficult to make a positive assessment of visibility concerns. At their meeting of September 26, 1990, the Hugo Board of Zoning Adjustments reviewed this matter and recommended approval of the variance request, as requested. McAllister made motion, Olson seconded, to approve the variance request of Mr. Cary Strantz of 5920 138th Street North (aka Lot 1, Block 1, Hugo Meadows subd.,) for the construction of a swimming pool and deck within 9' of the west property line. The fence shall be located on private property. All aye. Motion Carried. Stanley and Claudia Waters have made application to the City of Hugo for a variance to construct a 20' X 30' wood -frame, detached garage on their property at 12806 Ingersoll Ave. No., Hugo, Minnesota (aka Lot 13, except the north 20' and Lots 14, 15, 16 of Block 2, Sunset Park, Hugo, Minnesota). Their request would allow the garage to be constructed 20' from Ingersoll Ave. (40' is required) and 50' from the high water mark of Sunset Lake (100' is required)' The DNR has indicated they have no objections to this variance as the site is elevated some 16' above the high water mark of the lake. Because of the irregular shape of the lots as they follow the contour of the lake, and the alignment of Ingersoll
