Ayes. Brunotte, Schumann Abstain: Puleo Stockness Variance for Accessory Building The Planning Commission considered the application of Tim Stockness, 9757 122nd Street North, for a variance to construct an accessory building closer to the road than the principal structure. The accessory building would be approximately 1,860 square feet in size and would be set back 892 feet from the front property line and 20 feet from the side property line. The Community Development Director explained that the applicant had initially requested another variance to allow the existing dog kennel to remain within the 10 -foot required side yard setback for kennels, but the applicant withdrew that portion of the request and will be relocating the kennel to meet the required setback. Mark Tregilgas, 2565 Lake Avenue, White Bear Lake, said that his parents own the vacant lot to the west of the site. Tregilgas had written a letter to the Community Development Director and was at the meeting to express his concern over the value of his parent's property being affected by the location and size of the building that Stockness referred to as the dog kennel. Tregilgas said he felt Stockness was well aware of the setback requirement when he constructed the kennel building. Schumann made motion, Puleo seconded, to recommend approval of the variance to locate the accessory building closer to the road than the principle structure subject to the kennel being Board of Zoning Adjustments Meeting November 13, 2003 - page 2 relocated to meet the 20 foot setback for accessory buildings prior to a building permit being issued for the new building. Tregilgas provided pictures to the Board of the kennel/building and questioned what exactly was required to be moved since the setback for kennels was only 10 feet and the setback for buildings was 20 feet. The Community Development Director explained that the Building Inspector had been out to the property and had confirmed that a new slab was poured for the relocation of the building but did not know if it was large enough to accommodate the whole building/kennel or just a portion of it. Stockness was not present at the meeting. The motion and seconded were withdrawn. Schumann made motion, Puleo seconded, to table the request to allow time for staff to determine exactly what Stockness was proposing to do. All Ayes. Motion carried.

The applicant would like to construct a new home 151 feet from the Ordinary High Water (OHW) from an unnamed lake. Hugo City Code, Chapter 320, Section 1155-020 requires a 200 foot setback. The home would comply with the DNR setback requirement of 100 feet. The lowest floor elevation of the home would be 12' above the 100 year flood elevation.
