Minutes of regular Council Meeting September 14, 1981 In discussion, it was noted that the front setback line on all four lots was previously required to be in line with the house on Dunlap. Miller advised that setbacks are not normally shown on final plats; it is a contingency of the preliminary plat approval. McAllister reported that Christianson placed an SSOOO/acre value on the approximate 3 + acre site; therefore park dedication, at 10%, would be $2400 for the four lots, McAllister moved that Council approve $2400 as full satisfaction of the Christianson Heimbach Addition park dedication requirement, payable 1/3 at issuance of next three building permits; total pay- ment by December 31, 1982. Hotion was seconded by Win!,ert and carried unanimously (5-0). ~ingert moved that Council approve the final plat of Christianson Heimbach Addition as presented. Hotion was seconded by Hollenhorst. . Johnson moved to amend the motion and add the contingencv that all front setbacks are to be in line with the existing house on the corner of Dunlap and Tiller Lane. Notion as amended carried unan- imously (5-0). Case No. 81-24, Front Setback Variance for House at Siems Court and Arden PIa ce-----..-"'--m..---- Council was referied to a transparency of the 61' wide lot, indicat- ing the proposed house at 30' setback. Hiller noted that exist- ing houses along that side of the street are at varying setbacks; house on lot immediately to the north is 2' ~ from the south pro- perty line'. Hiller explained that the applicant proposes to maintain the re- quired side setbacks; the 30' front setback will enable him to locate his house without impacting view of lake for the neigbbor to the north; also his house can be sited into the hill (as in- dicated on site section drawing) with garage on street side at one story and lake side at 3 story. It was further explained that the house will be designed to utilize passive solar enerr,y; therefore the applicant wishes to maintain a reasonable setback from the south property line to protect its solar access; property to the south is not developed. Hiller reported that the Board of Appeals and Planning Commission recommend Council approval of the 10' front setback variance. It was noted by Christoffersen that the area is served by sewer and water; City policy is that homeowner is responsible for services from house to main; insulation of water line may be necessary to keep it from freezing if it is to be under the drive- way as indicated. wingert moved, seconded by Ho11enhorst, that Council approve the 10' front setback variance because of the hardship of the narrow lot width and steep grade of the land; Motion carried unanimously (5-0) .

Helfmann Council was referred to transparency of lot at 1804 Venus Ave. showing the existing house and garage, and the proposed living space and garage space expansion. Also shown were the existing homes on the adjacent lots to the east and west of the subject lot. Miller explained that a previous variance was granted on this lot for medical purposes, but the addition had not been con- strdcted before house was sold. Miller reported that the Board of Appeals recommends approval of the 15' variance; subject to neighbors approval; Planning Commis- sion recommends denial on the basis that the lot does not impose any particular hardship. -2-
