Ms. <br /> Peterson explained to the Planning and Zoning Commission that her <br /> intent is to sub - divide her four acre parcel and sell one acre <br /> with her present home and build a retirement home of 1,800 square <br /> feet on the remaining three acres. Ms. Peterson expressed that <br /> her taxes have increased 121.6% over last eight years, and she <br /> can no longer afford to live in the area M. Peterson stressed <br /> that this would not be a development. The sewer contractor took <br /> soil samples and prepared a comprehensive sewer plan. Ms. <br /> Peterson stated that if by agreeing to have the drain field <br /> pumped every four months would increase her chances of having her <br /> request approved, she would do so. The present driveway would <br /> have to be an easement, but this would be worked out with a <br /> surveyor. Ms. Peterson also noted that the Carlson's drain field <br /> is located on her property. <br /> Mr. Carlson stated that his drain field is on Ms. Peterson's. <br /> property. They have worked out agreement, and Ms. Peterson has <br /> allowed the encroachment, and he pays .$1 per year for the lease <br /> of the land. <br /> Mr. Erivn noted that in Lino Lakes the setback for lakeshore <br /> homes follows the DNR guide line of 200 feet. <br /> Ms. Peterson questioned how soon the sewer would be extended to <br /> the northern part of the City. She would like to build a smaller <br /> home and continue to live here. <br /> Commission member Wilharber expressed concern over a precedent <br /> being established. There are many properties in the City, that <br /> if this variance was approved, could request the same, It would <br /> be hard to justify the denial to others. If the property owner <br /> petitioned for sewer and would pay for the sewer extension this <br /> would be different. <br /> • <br /> • <br />
