Motion carried. <br /> APPLICANT: Thomas Link <br /> Applicant requests a Variance for an Accessory Structure in Side-Yard Setback <br /> Mr. Marohn explained the Staff Report. Applicant was present as well as his attorney, <br /> Thomas Fitzpatrick. <br /> Mr. Fitzpatrick explained that the Planning Commission had made a previous decision on <br /> this matter and should not look at this as a review. This is a new application and asked <br /> that the Planning Commission approach it that way. The applicants are requesting a 4.3 <br /> foot variance request. <br /> He further explained that the property involved is on Lower Cullen Lake and was platted <br /> approximately 90 years ago and does not resemble current standards. There is a <br /> challenging topographic hill to the rear. Neighbor Elaine May did not like the pontoon <br /> trailer being parked on her side of the garage. A very small portion of the garage is <br /> within the setback, 5.7 feet from the property line itself. An area of about 15 square feet <br /> is within the side yard setback. In 2008 the Planning Commission denied their request <br /> for an after-the-fact variance leaving them with the choice of moving the building which <br /> is very costly, a minimum of$8,000 and disruption of the Link property or removing the <br /> garage. <br /> Minutes 10 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> March 18, 2010 <br />
