The first agenda item, William Boughton Variance. Mr. Boughton of 1663 Andover Boulevard N.W., had started to construct a hobby barn. Mr. Boughtons' barn was "red tagged" by the Building Inspector Wally Arntzen because of construction without a building permit; too close to the lot line (6 feet) and a roof line that would exceed the height of the primary structure. Mr. Boughton appeared before the Commission and explained the failure to obtain a building permit. The Commission felt the section of Ordinance #8, Mr. Boughton must vary from in order to continue was, page five (5), Section 4.05 - Band D, Assessory Buildings and Structures. Jaworski pointed out to Mr. Boughton that the variance would not give him the right to conduct business, i.e., cabinet shop or otherwise out of the structure. Mr. Boughton explained that he is a carpenter and plans to keep his tools and saws for building his own garage and to install a new roof on his house, that would match the one on his barn, in this hobby barn. It was moved by Johnson, seconded by Jaworski to recommend the Andover City Council approve the variance request of Mr. William Boughton from Ordinance #8, Section 4.05 - Band D, for the following reasons: 1. Six foot side yard set-back will not offend other property owners or other properties. 2. Height problem was visual only because of slope of lot. 3. Mr. Boughton will purchase a building permit. Motion carried unanimously. Jaworski moved that the Commission adjourn at 10:30 p.m., because of inclement weather, seconded by Jack. Motion carried unanimously. , , , ) ~ o u ;- ~ o (~-) ~- Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting - January 2, 1975 Page 2 11-74-1 Next agenda item, Faddler's Fifth Addition - second sketch plan. Roger Anderson of Toltz, King. Duvall and Anderson read his written comments on this sketch plan in full. Positions of the Planning and Zoning Commission were generally against this lay-out because of too many double facing lots and too many substandard lot sizes. An alternate lay-out was suggested to Mr. Faddler by the Planning and Zoning Commission with the help of Roger Anderson. (A copy of Mr. Anderson's written comments will be attached to the City copy of these minutes) The property suggested for park dedication will be acceptable to the Park/Advisory Board. Mr. Winner was directed to continue on the preliminary plat. 12-74-2 Chairman Miles by-passed the sketch plan of the Hughs' Industrial Park. Mr. Hughs was not present. 12-74-3 . ~ I '-/ 9-74-5 12-74-2 o Next agenda item was the sketch plan of Mr. Castner. The Commission was concerned that no soil borings or topography were submitted and because of the large lots (10 acres), the Planning and Zoning Commission leaned toward dropping the topography requirement. Roger Anderson stated the reasons for a topography were to address street profiles and drainage requirements. The Commission felt a topography would need to be done again if this property were sub-divided into residential lots, therefore, Ken Heil made a motion that the topography be waived. Motion dies because of a lack of a second. Jack noted he is in favor of waiving topography, but noted soil borings must be done. Heil again made a motion that the topography be waived with the stipulation that soil borings (3) be taken at the direction of our engineer to Winner and Associates. Second by Jack. Chairman Miles, for; Johnson, against; Jaworski, abstained. Motion carried. A problem to be addressed to Attorney Hawkins by Clerk Jaworski, was whether to accept street easement paralleling the North end of Stenquist Addition to take advantage of the half street on the North end of Stenquist Addition. This decision will be written by Attorney Hawkins and sent to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Leroy Winner, Land Surveyor. Mr. Castner was directed to continue with his preliminary plat. Chairman Miles then called a public hearing for Nightingale Estates - second addition. Kenneth Olson, subdivider appeared before the Commission. Roger Anderson engineer of Toltz, King, Duvall and Anderson read his written comments on the plat. (A copy will be attached to the City copy of this set of minutes) Chairman Miles asked for comments from engineer Anderson on the preliminary plat. Mr. Anderson stated because of the relating flat road area, (same level as some off street area) a drainage easement must be provided off l54th, at the east end of the property. to the low area on the property line and a soil boring must be provided on the high ground, at the west end of the property, accompanied with a percolation test. Dean Johnson made a motion to continue this public hearing on Nightingale Estates, second addition, until January 28, 1975, with additional information to be provided at that time. Second by Dave Jack. Motion carried unanimously. Chairman Miles moved onto the Hughs' Industrial Sketch Plan. Mr. Winner will handle this sketch. Mr. Hughs was apparently held up by the inclement weather. Engineer Anderson read his written comments on this sketch plan. The Commission agreed with the comments of Mr. Anderson and Jaworski stated that l62nd was accepted earlier this year by the former Grow Town Board. Mr. Hughs will have to verify this because half , streets are not accepted. No other comments were forth coming on Hughs' Industrial Park, as it apparently meets standards. Mr. Bughs can continue with his preliminary plat at this time.
