possible at the Spring Park City Hall, 4349 Warren Avenue, to hear comments

and place.
It was noted at the meeting March 1, 2003 the rescheduled public hearing
would be March 26, 2003, at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall.
2. Discussion & Comments
a) NAC — 3/7/03
Paul Fadell was present representing Graham Neve because Neve is out of
town. Karpas asked the exact variances from the street and the water. Hughes
said they are approximately 18 feet from Black Lake Road and approximately
15 feet from the ordinary high water mark. Karpas pointed out the lot is an
unusually shaped lot. It was noted the variance request is to tear down the
existing structure and build a new structure on the footprint.
Adrian asked if it would be built on a concrete slab and was told it will be.
Fadell commented it is possible some walls may be reused if they are
salvageable. Karpas read the recommendation from Planner and gave an
overview of the proposed variance request. It was noted the Planner stated the
lot is not a buildable lot.
Klein asked if there were plans to build a deck. Fadell said not at this time
because there is no place to go without a variance. Klein asked the square
footage of the structure and was told 880 square feet. Hughes asked if there
was a reason his name is not on the application. Fadell said Neve has done
most of the work so far. Klein noted the application states the previous owner
was told by an engineer that the existing structure is not safe to build on and
this was known when the house was purchased.
William Bartell, 2398 Black Lake Road asked what Fadell was going to do
with the existing well on the property because it should be capped. Adrian
asked if anything was going to be done by the retaining wall. Fadell said they
hope to put in some landscaping but right now posts are placed there by the
City. Klein asked how much higher the structure will be and she was told
approximately 5 feet.
Hughes asked if there was going to be a bedroom upstairs. Fadell said there
would be a loft bedroom. Adrian referred to the garage door and asked if a

garage is there and will it be used. Fadell said there will be no garage and the
current garage door will be refinished for character. Adrian also asked where
the parking would be. Fadell said there is room in the driveway for two cars.
Anderson verified the structure would go on the same footprint. Klein asked
if a walkout is being considered and was told yes. Having no further
discussion the public hearing was closed.
3. Close Public Hearing
Motion by Karpas seconded by Adrian to close the public hearing at 7:47
p.m. All votes were aye. Motion declared carried.
4. Recommendation to Council
Karpas said he is in support this variance request because of the planner's
statements and feels the best plan for this structure is the one presented. Klein
asked what the neighbors think and Fadell said they support it. Hughes said he
is concerned with the time frame because he has looked at the unkempt
property for 4 years. Fadell said they hope to have it finished by August.
Hughes referred to the Zoning Ordinance Section 7, page 80, Subd C, 7.
"Notifications to the Department of Resources". He said if the Planning
Commission recommends approval of the variance request to the Council he
would like this segment of the ordinance researched before any Council
approval.
Motion by Anderson seconded by Mork Bredeson to recommend to the
Council approval of the variance request for Graham Neve, 2401 Black
Lake Road, to demolish the house and rebuild on the same footprint with
the above -mentioned condition.
In discussion Karpas noted the variance: will not impair light and air for
adjoining properties; it will not unreasonably increase traffic congestion; it
will not increase fire hazard or cause safety problems; will not unreasonably
diminish property values in the vicinity; will not be contrary to the intent of
the ordinance; will not violate the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
All votes were aye. Motion declared carried.
b) Variance Request — Doug Sippel, 2241 Hazeldell Avenue

Spring Park — Non -Conforming Lot on Black Lake Road
175.01 — General
�- CV
Per our discussions on October 29th, you inquired as to what the expandability option
for the house located on a Parcel B along Black Lake Road may be. Apparently, some
interest has been given to the acquisition of the lot with inquiries regarding the
expansion of the house or the replacement of the house as exists today. I have
reviewed the survey that you sent and offer the following comments:
The site is zoned R-1 which requires a 30 foot front yard setback from Black Lake. Road,
10 foot side yard setbacks, and 10 foot rear yard setbacks. Additionally, the building
must be setback 50 feet from the ordinary high water mark of Black Lake. Exceptions to
the front yard setback may be given where existing buildings along the same block fail
to meet the required 30 foot setback. Then the setback shall be the average setback of
those homes within the same block. This may make the existing house conforming in
relation to the properties to the south. Before we give any recommendations or
direction to a potential property buyer, we should receive a new survey that illustrates
the following:
1. Property lines.
2. Setback from the Black Lake Road right-of-way.
3. Setback of other homes within the same block from Black Lake Road,
4. Designation of the ordinary high water mark for Black Lake with the required 50
foot setback.
5. Illustrations of existing easements that may encumber the property.
6. We should also see topographic contours that would illustrate any limitations to
the property use.
,OCT-30-2002 13:57 NAC 612 595 9837 P.02iO3
I believe there are opportunities for this property to be purchased and renovated in
.accordance with the City ordinance, however, any expansion plans would have to
illustrate future setbacks.
Please call me with any further questions.

c) Close Public Hearing
Motion by Widmer seconded by Stone to close the public hearing and
adjourn the Board of Review at 7:50 p.m. All votes were aye. Motion

5. MISCELLANEOUS
a) Approval of Council Minutes — April 7, 2003

1. Variance Request Continuation, Graham Neve, 2401 Black Lake Road
a) Resolution 03-10 — Approving Variance for 2401 Black Lake Road
Subject to Conditions
Weeks said the Council asked for specific measurements and the applicant
submitted a revised survey showing those measurements. Rockvam read
the conditions in the resolution that reflects all of the dimensions. He
clarified to Neve the structure will be totally replaced. Widmer asked the
status of the capped well. Rockvam said the receipt for the capped well
should be one of the conditions.
Motion by Hoffman seconded by Stone to approve Resolution 03-10,
approving the variance for 2401 Black Lake Road subject to
conditions with the addition of the receipt for the capped well. All
votes were aye. Motion declared carried unanimously.
b) Establish Workshop Date With Engineer Re: Water Tower
Weeks said possible dates for this meeting are April 23rd or 30d'. Hoffman
suggested coordinating this meeting on the same day as the Adjourned
Board of Review. Weeks will coordinate this and notify the Council.
In another matter Rockvam asked if there was anything new from the
legislature regarding budget cuts and was told no. He inquired about
parking at Bayview Apartments. He said they have one extra parking
place and all the other spaces are designated for parking cars not for
storage of boats and trailers.
Weeks noted the Police Commission Meeting is cancelled as both Sgt.
Erickson and Chief Good are out of town.
Rockvam asked for an update on the trailer in the parking lot on the corner
of Sunset and Shoreline. Weeks said he has spoken with the owner and
