The resident asked what the council would base its decision on. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said the council would take the appraiser's opinion into consideration <br />regarding the benefit to the property owners. <br /> <br />Councilman Reimann said there is a possibility of just leaving the street <br />Class V if they just brought it up so it is passable. <br /> <br />Councilman Mickelson noted there is going to be water down there. <br /> <br />City Engineer Raatikka said the big cost is hauling in granular fill. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich said the appmaiser would take into considemation what <br />the benefit is with blacktop OF without blacktop. <br /> <br />City Assessor Wirz said the value could go up $1,000. <br /> <br />The meeting recessed at 9:10 p.m. <br /> <br />The meeting was called back to order at 9:35 p.m. <br /> <br />John Tousley, 5201 - 155th Ave. N.W. <br /> <br />Mr. Tousley said at the last council meeting, June 10, 1980, he asked for <br />a review of his mequest for a variance to build a large accessory building. <br />He noted a fact finding committee supposedly came out and found the facts <br />negative for two reasons he didn't think were good reasons: 1) the <br />building didn't fit in harmoniously and 2) the city never granted it before. <br />He asked what harmoniously meant. He said city staff said they would keep <br />him in communication, but they didn't. He said at the l~st meeting he didn't <br />know the issue was going to be reviewed or he would have stayed for it. He <br />asked why the council turned it down. <br /> <br />Councilman Reimann said the council went according to staff recommendation <br />and turned it down because it is double the size of what the ordinance says. <br /> <br />Mr. Tousley asked why he wasn't advised of what size he could go for a <br />variance. He said he could come back at $90 a crack and keep gUessing what <br />size the council would go. <br /> <br />Councilman Reimann said the ordinance say 624 sq. ft., but he could take a <br />variance to plead his case. <br /> <br />Mr. Tousley said he applied for a variance because he needed the square footage <br />but he didn't know why he was recommended to apply for a variance if the <br />ordinance said 624 sq. ft. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said the reason~ rom the ordinance is that theme is one person <br />who had ten acres and put up a pole building too big and it looks like the <br />IDS out there. He told the resident that the $90 for a variance tell the <br />council that he is honed about building the building. <br /> <br />Mr. Tousley said someone should have come out first to find out what he had <br />planned, what the conditions were and to see his drawings. <br /> <br />C/June 24, 1980 <br /> Page 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
