DAVID K. GARDNER <br />1399 EAST COUNTY ROAD E <br />GEM LAKE. MINNESOTA 55110 <br />November 10, 1993 <br />Mr. Paul Emeott <br />3960 Scheuneman Road <br />Gem Lake, MN 55110 <br />Dear Paul: <br />The Gem Lake Planning Commission met on Monday, November 8, 1993 <br />at 7:30 P.M. in the Tousley Ford conference room. Present were <br />Gardner, Leider, Nielsen, Bemis, Noble and Emeott. <br />Ken Lorenz, 1299 Goose Lake Road, has requested a special use <br />permit to expand an outbuilding beyond the limit of our ordinance. <br />Several of his neighbors were in attendance: S. Quam, Rick & Nancy <br />Bosak, Tom & Lenore Bolfing. Discussion centered on the use for <br />the building (which Lorenz assures us is for personal storage), the <br />possibility of his disturbing his neighbors while working on his <br />vehicles, and the setback from the property line. As the addition <br />is already complete, and the code does allow for a minimal setback <br />on remote outbuildings, the location was deemed acceptable. <br />The Commission unanimously recommends that the City Council <br />grant Mr. Lorenz a special use permit to exceed the outbuilding <br />limitation of the R-2 District by 880 square feet (i.e., a building <br />of 1,880 sq ft), provided: <br />1. That all construction meets code requirements, <br />2. That there be no commercial use of the property, <br />3. That noise be kept to a minimum, and particularly <br />between 10 PM -and 7 AM, <br />4. That he secure building permits on his deck <br />construction and the remodeling of the existing <br />building, and <br />5. That he pay double the fees required on work initiated <br />prior to permitting. <br />Ron Glassman represented Tousley Ford's request for a building <br />permit to relocate the old Fastbank structure to the new sales lot <br />as an information building. Once again, the work was already <br />complete, and the permit request after -the -fact. Discussion <br />centered on the revised landscape plan for the remodeled pole barn, <br />which had not been submitted. Mr. Glassman provided a suggested <br />plan, and, after considerable discussion agreed to "work out the <br />details" to our mutual satisfaction. On this basis, the Commission <br />
