5. PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARMENT
Jeff Ruchti, Front Yard Setback Variance
Loren Kohnen explained that Jeff Ruchti, 3102 Hwy. 55, had made application for a 49.2 ft.
front yard setback variance to allow construction of an addition to his house. He stated
that the Planning Commission had recommended approval due to the location of the house on
the property and the location of the well and septic system. He also explained that the
Mn. Highway department would want an additional 125 ft. of right of way at such time as
the highway is widened and Mr. Ruchti may not realize a return on his investment.
Robert Mitchell stated that the Metro Council has said that Hwy. 55 will not be upgraded
for twenty years which may, or may not,be fact.
Loren Kohnen stated that staff had prepared the resolution for council and attorny review
and that if acceptable the practice would continue in a attempt to save time and money.
Ron Batty stated that the resolution should include the language regarding the applicant
paying for the cost of processing the application.
Moved by Thies, seconded by Zietlow to authorize staff to revise the Jeff Ruchti resolution
to include a section regarding repayment of fees and other conditions, as listed, to be
brought to the december 17th meeting for final approval.
Motion declared carried
Dan Richardson, Septic System Variance
Loren Kohnen explained that Dan Richardson had made application for a 6 ft. slope variance
for an alternate septic system site on vacant Parcel F, adjacent to 1452 Hunter Dr. He
stated that both primary and secondary sites are located in the southeast corner of the
property with the primary site meeting code and the secondary site having 12/ slopes,
rather than the 6/ required in city ordinance.
..58
Philip Zietlow reviewed the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission and asked why
a five bedroom house was being approved.
Loren Kohnen stated that it is easier to monitor low water usage fixtures than the number
of people living in a house, as it is the number of people, not the number of bedrooms that
are the determining water use factor.
Steve Schirmers, who had designed the septic systems, stated that he had designed an add-
itional downslope to accomodate the secondary site that has the 12% slope.
Robert Mitchell stated that the resolution granting approval should include the number of
bedrooms in the house, a definition of low water use fixtures, the mound system to be built
according to design, a footage requirement for the downslope and an agreement should be
signed by the Richardsons, which will hold the city harmless if both systems fail and they
have no other property on which to place a septic system.
Moved by Zietlow, seconded by Thies to authorize staff to revise the prepared resolution
granting a 6% slope variance to Dan Richardson on Parcel F, adjacent to 1452 Hunter Dr.,
according to the conditions suggested by Robert Mitchell, include the hold harmless agree-
ment.
Motion declared carried
Drs. Rolland Olson and Kenneth Dedeker, Subdivision
Loren Kohnen explained that Drs. Olson and Dedeker had applied to subdivide previously
platted five lots into a four lot subdivision. He stated that the configuration of Lot 3
is for the purpose of accomodating a driveway from Lot 2 onto the cul de sac. He stated
that the septic system is very close to the edge of the property and at such time as the
system is relocated the driveway will need to have direct access onto the cul de sac.
Glenn Cook stated that the ordinance allows for such shaped lots, otherwise a variance
would need to be granted.
Loren Kohnen stated that the replatting from five to four lots will bring the parcel into
compliance with the cities ordinance.
`Tnf8uer stated that he had raised the question regarding payment of park dedication fees
on properties that have had houses for many years.
Ron Batty stated that the owners had not paid park dedication fees when originally platted
and will need to do so now that they are replatting.
Loren Kohnen stated that Robert Olson had also made application for a home occupation on
Lot 3 but that would not be brought before council until the Planning Commission has dis-
cussed the home occupation ordinance. He also explained that sheds are located on Lots
4 and 3 and do not meet setback requirements for animal shelters.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Thies to authorize preparation of a resolution granting
preliminary approval to Drs. Rolland Olson and Kenneth Dedeker to subdivide property on
Medina Rd. according to Planning Commission recommendations.
Motion declared carried
Delano Deitz, Final Subdivision Approval
Loren Kohnen stated that the Deitz plat meets city requirements and could be approved by
city council.
Philip Zietlow asked if the back lot would have a driveway easement or if there was an
outlot.
Loren Kohnen stated that on a two lot division an outlot is not necessary but an easement
i8 provided.
Ron Batty stated that they would make certain that the back lot was not landlocked.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Zietlow to authorize preparation of a resolution granting
final approval to Delano Deitz to subdivide 11.7 acres into two parcels on Medina Rd.,
making certain that there is access to the back lot.
Motion declared carried
Mark Jordan, Lot line Rearrangement
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Zietlow to adopt Resolution 91-93, approving a lot line

Loren Kohnen reported that as Fire Marshal he had met with the state fire marshal at -
the house fire site on Phillipps Dr. to help to determine the cause of the fire.
Rick Rabenort stated that he had met with the fire marshal later in the day and that Mike
Rouillard had spent part of the day at the fire scene. He also stated that the city snow
plowing crews had to plow so that the fire trucks could reach the house.
7. WOODLAKE LANDFILL
Loren Kohnen reported that the monthly meeting with BFI, Wenck and Associates, and himself
had been held and the BFI has hired the engineering firm of Foth and Van Dyke to do some
landfill monitoring and to design the permanent closure plans. He reported that well
testing within a mile radius of the landfill is done once ever year; the pCA is still
working on their permit review and Woodlake plans to fence the entire landfill within
a year.
Council stated that they were interested in receiving a monthly update from the meetings.
