Minutes of January 26, 2000
Stoltzman made motion, Brunotte seconded, to approve the Board of Zoning Adjustment minutes
for January 26, 2000.
All Ayes. Motion carried.
Variance (Hengtgen)
The Board of Zoning Adjustments considered the variance request of Jason Hengtgen, 5540 159th
St. N., for a 28'3"wide driveway when a 16' wide driveway is allowed by ordinance. The
property is legally described as Lot 10, Block 3, Creekview Preserve 2nd Addition.
The Board of Zoning Adjustments considered the report prepared by the City Planner, which
recommend denial of the variance. He felt that enforcement of the ordinance would not cause
undue hardship because the circumstances were caused by the land owner and were not unique to
the property.
Prior to the passing of the new zoning ordinance on July 27, 1999, the maximum driveway width
at the street was 22 feet.
Hengtgen provided the Board of Zoning Adjustments a list of neighboring driveway widths,
which showed 48 other driveways to be greater than the required 16 feet, and 15 of those
driveways to be greater than 22 feet. Hengtgen felt a 16' driveway was not compatible with a 3-
car garage, which was a requirement in the development. He also referred to a driveway variance
approved, after the fact, on September 2, 1997, to Thomas Gamboni, 5727 Egg Lake Road, for a
46' wide driveway.
Members of the Planning Commission requested the Building Official investigate the
surrounding communities to determine if the zoning ordinance should be amended to allow wider
driveways.
Stoltzman made motion, Brunotte seconded, to table until the Planning Commission meeting on
August 23, 2000.
All Ayes. Motion carried.
Variance (Marcu)
The Board of Zoning Adjustments considered the request of Al and Linda Marcu, 15350 Everton
Ave. N., for a variance to build a deck on the south side of their home, two feet from the property
line, where a 40' setback is required. The property is legally described as the N 1/2 of the S 1/2 of
the NEI/4 of the SWI/4 of Sec. 18, T3IN. R21 W.
Prior to the passing of the new zoning ordinance on July 27, 2000, the required sideyard setback
was 40'. The Marcus proposed a 16' deck, which would provide a 6' setback from the property
line.
Stotlzman made motion, Brunotte seconded, to recommend approval of a 2-tier deck, with the
lower portion of the deck to be a minimum of 4' wide, and a 6' setback from the south property
line, providing the property line is established by a registered land surveyor.
All Ayes. Motion carried.
Stoltzman made motion, Burnottee seconded, to adjourn at 7:15 p.m.
Michele Lindau, Secretary
Board of Zoning Adjustments
