7. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
7A. Case #03-14/15 - Bill Stoddard (Minnetonka Enterprises) - Lots 5-8, Block 4,
Replat of Harrison Shores - Minor Subdivision & Variances
Sarah Smith reviewed the request for a minor subdivision and variances submitted by
Bill Stoddard. Since the Planning Commission meeting the applicant has withdrawn his
request for hardcover variance and has adjusted the site plans to meet the city's 30%
requirement. In addition, the previous application considered at the February 28
Council meeting has been withdrawn so there is no need for action on Planning &
Zoning Case #03-01.
Julian Hook, representative for the applicant, addressed the Council stating the
applicant is requesting approval of a minor subdivision and a variance to allow a 20-foot
front yard setback. Another issue he would like addressed is the request to have the
SAC and WAC charges waived.
Hanus expressed concern over the likelihood that owners of these homes would be
back before the Council in the future asking for lakeside deck variances. He would
prefer this issue be addressed now. Hook stressed that the only thing the applicant is
requesting now is a minor subdivision and front yard setback variance, and those are
the only issues that should be addressed.
MOTION by Osmek, seconded by Brown to adopt the following resolution as amended.
All voted in favor. Motion carried.

With reference to the request to waive the SAC and WAC charges, John Dean informed
the Council that the existing policy is that there is a $1500/utility/Iot trunk charge. If they
want to depart from that there needs to be action, otherwise nothing is required. No
action was taken.
7B. Action on Case #03-01 - Request for Front Yard Variances for Lots 5-8, Block 4,
Replat of Harrison Shores, and Lot Area Variances for Lots 5-7, Block 4, Replat o[
Harrison Shores.
This request was withdrawn as earlier noted.
7C. Case #03-07- Henry & Gino Lazniarz - 2954 Oaklawn Lane - Minor Subdivisior,
Sarah Smith reviewed the request, stating that the Planning Commission unanimously
approved the request at their meeting of March 3, 2003.
Greg Kenton, 5964 Idlewood Road, neighbor to the east, expressed his concern over
drainage because the storm sewers already overflow with heavy rain. John Cameron
responded that this issue will be handled when the building permits are issued, and they
have the grading for the house. In addition existing infrastructure will be looked at to
see if it is adequate.
MOTION by Brown, seconded by Hanus to adopt the following resolution, adding that
the grading and drainage must be approved by the City Engineer when the building
permit is applied for. All voted in favor. Motion carried.
