Meeting Minutes - CC August 9, 1989 Page Six sidewalk. Motion by Peterson, second by Pelton to direct the City Staff and Maier, Stewart and Associates to complete the necessary paperwork to apply for a flood damage reduction grant program as administered by the Department of Natural Resources, motion carried unanimously. Dan Belland, 1994 North Robin Lane, and his father, Richard Belland, appeared before the City Council regarding a variance request to build a garage within the required setbacks at said address. The Bellands advised that they felt that there were other houses within that development that were not in compliance with City setbacks. Dan Belland advised that if this variance were not granted he did not feel he could build a garage unless he placed it on the back of the property and put a culvert in over the County ditch and a driveway out to the County road (loth Avenue. Motion by Neumann, second by Peterson to direct Gunnar Pettersen, City Building Inspector, to investigate the concern that other homes within the Royal Meadows development may not be compliance with City setback, motion carried unanimously. Motion by Neumann, second by Peterson to deny the variance request made by Dan Belland, 1994 North Robin Lane, to build a garage 15 feet into the setback at 1994 North Robin Lane (ten feet from the property line) for the following reasons: -There do not seem to be special conditions and circumstances existing which are peculiar to the land, structure or building involved as the setting of Mr. Bellands home and deck seem to be of his own doing, --Granting the variance requested would seem to Confer on the applicant special privileges that is denied by the ordinance to other lands, structures or buildings in this same district and may set a precedence for other property owners to request the same variance based upon their own planning situation as opposed to following building requirements of the ordinance,
