MINUTES FOR THE HUGO CITY COUNCEL MEETING OF 10/06/97 The meeting was called to order by Mayor Fran Miron at 7:1OPM. PRESENT: Barnes, Goiffon, Leroux, Miron City Administrator, Robert Museus City Attorney, Greg Galler City Engineer, Tom Angus City Planner, Ed Elliott City Clerk, Mary Ann Creager Leroux made motion, Goiffon seconded, to approve the following Consent Agenda: City Council minutes for September 15, 1997 City Council minutes for September 22, 1997 City Council minutes for September 29, 1997 General claims for October 6, 1997 Variance (Montanari) All aye. Motion Carried. VARIANCE (MONTANARID Montanari Homes, Inc., requested a variance to the garage size of the home they are constructing at 8775 136th Street Court. The property is zoned RR2. The request is to construct a 720 sq ft lower level attached garage, in addition to the 760 sq ft first level garage. City code allows 1,000 sq ft of garage space. In this case, the lower level garage is comprised of the basement foundation for the first level garage, and does not occupy any expanded footprint on the property. The Board of Adjustments considered this request at their meeting of September 24, 1997, and recommended approval of the variance. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the variance, as requested. VARIANCE (RUDY) Burns and Therese Rudy, 7375 165th Street, requested a variance to construct a 24' x 24' accessory building 10 feet from the rear property line. The building is to be used for storage of snowmobiles, lawnmowers, and other personal property. The 4.4 acre lot is zoned conservancy, where a 50 foot rear yard setback is required. As this request did not stem from any hardship or practical difficulty, and a structure meeting the City's requirements could be located on the lot, staff recommended that the variance request be denied. The Board of Adjustments considered the request at their meeting of September 24, 1997, and recommended approval of the variance. The Council discussed, at length, the need for the variance because of no substantiated hardship and setting precedence if the variance was approved. Neighbors of the Rudys made it clear that they had no objection to the variance request.
