Request for Variance - 1759 Main Street
Ordinan #4 ion 4 06 AMOUNT nF YARD O U IED and SP t+ u
43.01 CHANGE IN NON - CONFORMITY.
It was noted that the Public Hearing for the variance request was
held at the April 8, 1991 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
It was the recommendation of the City Attorney that a variance
not be granted because the use of the structure is non-
conforming with the zoning requirements for a Conservation C -1
Zoning District. It was the recommendation of the City Attorney
that this parcel be considered for rezoning, if the property
owner requests the rezoning. If the property owner requested
rezoning than the request for variance could be considered.
The property owner has requested rezoning of the property. The
public hearing and recommendation were discussed earlier at this
meeting.
Motion by Drilling, second by Wilharber to recommend to the City
Council that a variance from Ordinance #4, Section 34.06 AMOUNT
OF YARD OCCUPIED to expand the existing garage be granted based
on the following:
65.03 -1 Special conditions and circumstances exist which
are peculiar to the land, structure or building
involved and do not result from the actions of the
petitioner;
65.03 -2 Literal interpretation of the provision of this
ordinance would deprive the petitioner of rights
commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same
district under the terms of this ordinance;
65.03 -3 Granting the variance requested will not confer on
the applicant any special privilege that is denied
by this ordinance to other lands, structures or
buildings in the same district;
65.03 -4 The proposed variance will not impair an adequate
supply of light and air to adjacent property, or
unreasonable diminish or impair established
property values within the surrounding area, or in
any other respect impair the public health, safety
or welfare of the residents of the City;
contingent upon the City Council approving the rezoning of said
property to Single Family Residential - Sewered (R -2), motion
carried unanimously.
The Planning and Zoning Commission asked Mr. Tuomi if the garage
were to be expanded would the garage be more non - conforming in
regards to the current 10 foot rear yard set back.
Mr. Tuomi noted that the expansion would not be more than the
present 10 foot year yard set back of the present garage.

JUNE A1991
SUBJECT: Rezone to Residential (from C -1 to R-2)
1759 Main Street, Centervihe.
Requested by: Richard W. Tuomi
1. Use: The property has been used for residential purposes since the house was built
approximately 1920.
11. Current Zoning Status: About 1982 the city zoned the property as C -1 ( parks and playground
usage) thinking that someday a walkway may be placed along the creek. Due to changes in
property use north of the property, this is no longer a potential usage. The current zoning
does not reflect the residential usage of the property over the last 70 years.
111_ Building Bevations: Landmark Surveying Inc. of Scandia, MN shot elevations of the
buildings on April 24, 1991 with the following results:
Garage slab: 908.2 feet
House (south threshold): 911.2 feet
The flood elevation as taken from the FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map) is 899 feet.
This puts the house at 12.2 above flood plain and the garage at 9.2 feet above flood
plain.
IV City Attorney Comments: In his letter dated April 10th, city attorney, Cflgory J. Hollings,
stated that a rezoning to residential use may be appropriate, if the city decides that C -1 (parks
& playground) is not the intended usage.
V. Water Conservation: The DNR sees no problem with rezoning the property.
VI. At the Zoning Board hearing of April 22, to hear request for variances to remodel a garage, this
board suggested that I apply to rezone the property to residential (R -2).
I therefore request the Zoning Board approve rezoning the property to R -2. Mso that the Zoning
Board approve the variance request on the property and submit approvals to the City Council for
approval at the June 12, 1991 meeting.
Res tfully:

in order to obtain the chipper. The chipper could be obtained with
a matching funds grant.
Ayde advised that with regard to animal remains, they are not an
acceptable waste for the resource recovery plant. She noted that
if residents will call, the remains could be taken care of through
a special pickup as animal remains still can be brought to
landfills. She noted that the suggestion of a special pickup will
be put in the October 1990 bill.
Ayde advised that she will begin an award program in January 1990
for recyclers. This was referred to in the past as a recycling
lottery by the City Council.
Ayde advised that with regard to household waste she is proposing
a drop off center by appointment only as Lake Sanitation would have
to have personnel on hand for data and record keeping.
Ayde noted that funding is available through the Metropolitan
Council and encouraged the Council to continue to pursue funding
on the County level. Ayde will draft proposals with regard to
possible grants to be given to the City to be considered at their
December 27, 1989 City Council meeting. She will also mail her
report and findings on their township surveys with regard to
possible minimum servicing.
Ayde advised that Centerville has received an award by Anoka County
for going beyond it's goal for abatement. She advised that
Centerville is the only City which Lake Sanitation serves that
received the award.

Joe Perkowski, property owner of 7231 Mill Road, was present to
request a variance to erect a three season porch and attached deck
five feet from the north property line of said property. Perkowski
advised that he thought that his situation did fall under the four
criteria required in Ordinance 14 with regard to variance requests.
He reiterated the four criteria as he felt they pertain to his
situation as stated in the Planning and Zoning minutes dated
November 9, 1989.
Council member Neumann noted that per City Ordinance 14 a non-
compliant structure could not be replaced or increased.
Motion by Pelton, second by Burgstahler that if the porch were to
be only 9 feet wide and not any further into the setback then
currently, and that due to the deck already being within the

setback, and that this not being due to action by the current
property owner, a three season porch would be allowed to be erected
if the porch could be built so that it would be no further into the
setbacks then the existing encroachment on the property described
as follows:
that part of lot 11 auditor's subdivision no. 47 revised
description as follows; commence at the northeast corner
of said lot 11 - then southerly along the east line of
said lot 11 a distance of 416.86 feet to the point of
beginning - then continue southerly along said east line
of lot 11 a distance of 105.62 feet - then westerly
parallel with the north line of said lot 11 a distance
of 175 feet - then northerly parallel with the east line
of said lot 11 a distance of 105.62 feet - then easterly
to the point of beginning and subject to the existing. 8th
street along the east line thereof;
justification would be:
•
- everyone else appears to have something similar to the
proposed three season porch;
- the floor plan of the structure does not allow for any
other place on the property for a three season porch;
- that this does not provide more of a privilege to this
property owner; and
- that this does not negatively impact neighboring property
owners;

planning and Zoning Commission Member Appointment.
Council member Neumann noted that he thought that Tom Wilharber had
better qualifications with regard to experience. He noted that
Charles Brenner appeared to be qualified but may not be versed in
current City ordinances. He noted that the current Planning and
Zoning Commission members, with the exception of Chairperson Dan
Tourville, may not have a depth of knowledge of City Ordinances.
