Mayor Emeott then indicated that there has been no meeting of the Gem Lake Planning ;Commission.. Mr. & Mrs. Docken were then recognized. They requested a variance from the Zoning Ordinance regarding required set -backs so that they may construct an attached garage. Building Inspector Arend stated that their set -back is currently inadequate due to the abandoned roadway to the. east and south of their property. Discussion of the abandoned roadway then followed. with Mayor Emeott stating that the lands have been.aban- doned by both the City and Ramsey County and that previous attempts to get adjacent property owners to claim the land had been ineffective. Mayor Emeott suggested, with Council support, that a neighborhood meet- ing be held and that all adjacent land owners survey the abandoned land and lay appropriate claim to same asextensions of their property. By doing this, the Docken variance request would be unnecessary. Following further discussion and in accordance with the recommendation of the. Planning Commission's acting chair, Judson Bemis, the Docken's Request For Variance was denied due to lack of motion.
