NEW BUSINESS Phippen Variance Request to Reconstruct a Shed Mr. March explained the property owner at 1563 Peltier Lake Drive, requested a variance to reconstruct a shed within the rear yard, shoreland set back requirements. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of reconstructing the shed on the existing concrete slab because the ordinance allows boat houses within 10' of the shoreland. Mr. Hoeft commented the Council may want to consider limiting the building regulations if the property owner elected to add on or build the structure larger than the existing concrete slab. Councilmember Buckbee moved to approve the reconstruction of a storage shed at 1563 Pelter Lake Drive. Contingent upon the proper owner limiting the building size to the original slab size and the variance is subject to the integrity of the concrete slab, if the slab is cracked, reconstruct according to the Building Inspector direction. Mayor Wilharber seconded the motion. Councilmember Brenner noted she was undecided and concerned about allowing the shed to be built within three (3) feet of the shoreline due to environmental concerns and storage details, such as what would be stored in the shed i.e., gas, fertilizer or other gastly chemicals. Buckbee aye, Wilharber aye. Brenner nay. Motion carried. Tractor Replacement Mr. Palzer updated the Council on the replacement of the 1989 John Deere tractor. The City advertised in the paper and also sent requested specifications by fax to six dealers. The City received one estimate per the bid specifications. The quotation was from Olson Power Equipment of North Branch for a Massey Ferguson 253 X 4 tractor. However, Mr. Dan Olson indicated that they could provide a 263 x 4 tractor for the same price. Mr. Palzer explained the difference between the two tractors as the 263 has five more horsepowers and meets the more stringent California emissions standards. Continuing, the City spent $1500 on repairs to the tractor to date and he predicts additional monies will need to be invested to maintain the tractor. 6
