Approval of Minutes The Minutes of tha Regular Council Meeting of October 29, 1973 were approved as amendad. BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR Patition re garage at 3123 Shoreline Lane Mr. Ea r I Morgan, 3130 Shore Ii ne Lane. <leiscr i bed a garage, currant I y undar construction at 3123 Shoreline Lane,as a two-story, 3-car building which, in his opinion, depreciates the property values of tha neighborhood because of Its size and location. Mr. Morgan explained that Mr. Lindgren had approachad residents on the street, in 1968, requesting their permission to up-grade the road easement adjacent to his property so he would hava an accessible driveway to his house. Mr. Morgan said the neighbors agreed to this, but now find the easement to the lake no longer exists and a garage has bean constructed on the easement. Ha said that instead of improving the access to tha lake, which he had understood Mr. Lindgren was going to do; the easemant now belongs to Mr. Lindgren and he has a garage on it which blocks his view of the lake. Mrs. Harty, 3137 Shoreline Lane, said they would never have approved the request to improve the driveway, If they realized the access to the lake would be eliminated. We now have no way to launch a boat. Dr. Severson, 3146 Shoreline Lane, stated he feels properties have been devaluated because of the garage and feels that Mr. Lindgren should have morally, if not ethically, discussed his proposed garage with his nalghbors. Mrs. Harty questioned how Mr. Lindgren was able to purchase this property on the lake for $1.00. Attornay Lynden expl~ined that apparently this conveyance of title was a vacation rathar than purchase; compensation is therefore not needed. Dr. Hoivik, 1345 Shoreline Lane, described the building as "other . than a normal residential garage". . Thare Is a great deal of black- topped area around the garage and he said he suspects the garage is intended for other than residential garage use. Dr Holvlk referred to his abstract re restrictions. Hollenhorst reviewad the action of the Board of Appeals, Planning Commission and Council, advising that the garage meets all VI I lage ordinance requirements excapt the location in the front yard. (Street is considered front yard.) Or. Hoivlk asked the length of time a house can be left in an un- finished state (raw siding), and advised that tha Lindgren dogs "run at large" most of the time, even though a fence was erected to keep the dogs conflnad. The Council raquestad that the Village Building Inspector check the construction on the site re possibla ordinance and building code violations, and requested that the Police Department check the "dog~ at large" complaint. -1-
