Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes September 1, 2004 Mr. Carlson addressed the Commission and explained his request noting that he did not intend to immediately build out the property but needs the MUSA approval in order to begin the planning and design work for the site. Mr. Carlson would like to add the parcels to his parcel and into MUSA for 2001 to 2005. Commissioner Wilharber commented that the request is to add a parcel that is 430 feet by 480 feet into the parcel already approved for MUSA. Motion by Commissioner Klennert Hunt, seconded by Commissioner Lakso to close the public hearing. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Chair Hanson closed the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. Motion by Commissioner Lakso, seconded by Commissioner Klennert Hunt to recommend Council approval of the requested MUSA/Comprehensive Plan Amendment for 2001 to 2005 contingent upon rezoning of the other parcels. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. 4. Mr. Cheldon Frank, 1597 Peltier Lake Drive – Variances to Build Home on Non- Conforming Lot Chair Hanson opened the public hearing at 7:14 p.m. Mr. Frank addressed Council and explained his variance requests noting that this was a previously platted lot and telling the Commission that he has worked very hard to have a home designed that required as few variances as possible on this nonconforming lot. Commissioner Hanzal expressed concern with the potential for drainage issues due to the steep drop off and recommended checking the pitch of the roof and making gutters mandatory. Mr. Palzer informed Mr. Frank that the home plan shows patio doors which leads him to believe that there is a plan for a future deck. He then said that Mr. Frank, if the home is approved and built, would be at .7 feet from the 75 foot setback requirement necessitating another variance and approval by Rice Creek should he wish to build a deck. He further suggested that the applicant reconfigure or shorten the home to accommodate the future deck. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers cautioned Mr. Frank that the variances being requested are not of his own doing but the situation would be different when asking for a variance for the deck because he will have built the home in that location causing the issue. Mr. Frank commented that he would worry about a future variance at that time and said he feels he would be entitled to the variance because properties around his are closer to the lake than the 75 feet.
