Chair Sand noted Ms. Richards was concerned that they did not <br />have 80 feet on their property. <br /> <br />There were no further comments made for or against the Site Plan Review. <br /> <br />Chair Sand closed the public hearing at 8:51 p.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson asked staff if a bnilding permit application were approved and <br />issued, would the property line have to be established and located in order to get it in the <br />right location. Mr. Parrish responded it iIll depended on the circumstances. He noted if <br />the resident found the stake and could measure it, they would not require a survey. He <br />stated if there was a question about the property line, the building inspector could verifY <br />the line or they could require a survey. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson asked what was the front setback. Mr. Hellegers replied the front <br />setback was 40 feet. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson asked if they had room to the front for this garage. Mr. Hellegers <br />replied they probably could not put anything much further forward than proposed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson moved, seconded by Commissioner Ricke to deny Planning CilSe <br />#03-09, Bruce Gode, 3538 Glen Arden Road, Variance for the following reason: <br /> <br />. The state Statute definition of "undue hardship" is not met. In Chapter <br />462.357, Subdivision 6, (2), defines ''undue hardship" as a situation <br />where: "...the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if <br />used under conditions allowed by the official controls...". However, in <br />this particular inStance the official controls would allow the applicant a <br />reasonable use; construct a two-car garage somewhere behind the house or <br />continue to have an attached one-car garage. Also, as stated in staff's <br />report, the property could be put to a reasonable use without the granting <br />of a variance and therefore, does not demonstrate that there is an undue <br />hardship. <br /> <br />The motion carried unanimously (6-0). <br /> <br />UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. <br /> <br />COUNTY E-2 AND CLEVELAND AVENUE MORATORIUM. <br /> <br />Mr. Hellegers stated the City Council approved a moratorium on certain parcels in the <br />vicinity of County Road E-2 and Cleveland Avenue on February 10, 2003. These parcels <br />were currently zoned R-2. The current situation could result in development, which is <br />inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. As a result of the moratorium, the <br />Planning Commission needed to review the affected area to determine whether the <br />
