All Ayes. Motion carried. Gallagher Variance for Accessory Building The Board considered the request of Tomas and Peggy Gallagher, 10009 122nd Street North, for a variance to exceed the maximum size permitted for an accessory building on their five acre parcel. The applicant requested to build a 3,744 square foot pole building where the maximum permitted by ordinance is 2,300 square feet in a Rural Residential district. Staff found that the building would be constructed to the rear of the property and would be buffered from other properties. Mr. Gallagher said he felt the 2,300 square foot maximum was too restrictive and would not allow him to properly store items owned by him and his large family. Gallagher stated that the other accessory building on the property would be destroyed. Brunotte made motion, Schumann seconded, to recommend approval of the variance for 10009 122nd Street North. All Ayes. Motion carried. Board of Zoning Adjustments Meeting August 28, 2003 - page 2 Ecker Variances for Property Line Adiustment The Baord considered the request of Mary Ecker, 10264 122nd St. North, for a variance from the minimum lot size requirement and a variance from the minimum lot width requirement to allow a property line adjustment for properties located at 10264 and 10284 122nd Street North, as well as vacant properties to the west (immediately east of Withrow School). The applicant currently has eight lots, approximately'/4 acre each, and is requesting approval to consolidate and adjust the common lot lines to create three lots. The CD Director explained that the property was platted circa 1950 as Zahlers Acres consisting of ten 1/4 acre lots and two streets to be known as Edward Road and Zahler Road, which were never constructed. In August 2002, Ecker requested and was granted a vacation of both road easements. The two eastern lots, Lots 1 and 10, are now owned by US West, Inc. The remaining lots are owned by the applicant. There are two homes located on the site. One home is located on combined Lots 3 and 8 and the other is located on Lots 2 and 9. As proposed, the existing homes would be on Lot B and Lot C, and Lot A would be a new home site for a family member. An easement would be necessary to provide Lots B and C the common use of the existing driveway. Brunotte made motion, Schumann seconded, to recommend approval of the variances as requested by Mary Ecker. All Ayes. Motion carried. Adiournment Brunotte made motion, Schumann seconded, to adjourn at 6:44. All Ayes. Motion carried.
