MINUTES <br />HUGO BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS <br />JANUARY 23, 2003 <br />Chairperson Schumann called the meeting to order at 6:40 p.m. <br />PRESENT: Brunotte, Schumann <br />ABSENT: Puleo <br />ALSO PRESENT: John Rask, Community Development Director <br />Michele Lindau, Secretary <br />Minutes January 9, 2003 <br />Brunotte made motion, Schumann seconded, to approve the minutes for January <br />9, 2003 as submitted. <br />Mike Capra Variance for Oversized Garage <br />The Board considered the request of Mike Capra, 2382 Liebel Street, White Bear <br />Lake, for a variance to exceed the maximum size permitted for a garage on <br />property located at 13715 Isleton Ave. N. (Duck Pass). The applicant is <br />constructing a home on the property and would like to construct an attached 1,132 <br />square foot garage where only 1,000 square feet is permitted by ordinance. The <br />home is located on 3.3 acres in the Duck Pass subdivision and zoned Agricultural. <br />Staff found that the applicant designed the garage as a four -car garage with a side <br />(north) entrance. The portion of the garage facing the street is of the same stucco <br />and brick design as the home. Staff felt the garage would not dominate the <br />appearance of the home and had recommended approval. <br />Schumann said he saw very little room on the lot that would permit him to <br />construct an accessory building so it was sensible to build an oversize garage. <br />Brunotte said he felt the garage would look nice because it was of the same <br />construction as the home. <br />Schumann made motion, Brunotte seconded, to recommend approval of the <br />variance for 13715 Isleton Avenue North. <br />
