Mr. Zimny mentioned that one house has been entirely demolished to the foundation and rebuilt on the lake and again stated that he has concern for setting precedence. Mr. Hal Wagner, 1525 Peltier Lake Drive, stated that he is the abutting property owner, previously requested to purchase the lot, and is also concerned for setting precedence by granting a variance. Page 2 of 4 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission October 4, 2016 Mr. Magdik explained that he desired to build a 5,000 square foot home, utilizing the building pad shown on a survey that he was provided by the City at the time of purchase, felt that the desired home should have the ability to enjoy the natural resource of the lake similar to all others that reside on the lake, that he only intended to encroach by 5’-10’ into the lake setback and that he did not create the any hardship. He stated that the survey was incorrect at the time of purchase. Lengthy discussion ensued regarding Finding of Fact provided by City Attorney Glaser, municipal sewer regulations associated with the lake, ability of Mr. Magdik to decrease the size of the home allowing for a deck which meant that Mr. Magdik was in fact making his own hardship, and setting precedence. Motion by Commissioner Koski, seconded by Commissioner Montain to Adopt the Findings of Fact and Recommend to Council Denial of the Variance Request as Submitted. All in favor. Motion carried. 3.Hamline University Capstone Project (EDA/EDC) City Administrator Ericson reviewed with the Commission the excellent report and analysis of the City EDA vs. EDC by two (2) graduate students in the Hamline University Masters Public Administration Program.

In some neighborhoods, story poles are erected to depict the outline of a proposed home addition, garage or landscaping, merely to satisfy a neighbor or a home owners associated.)
