1.1 CASE #91-101:
DOUG JEPSON & ANN SCHOUWEILER, 4618 KILDARE
ROAD, LOTS 11 & 37, BLOCK 11, SETON, PID #19-
117-23 21 0031, APPROVE A TEMPORARY VARIANCE
TO ALLOW TWO PRINCIPAL DWELLINGS ON ONE LOT
AND TO RECOGNIZE AN EXISTING SIDE YARD
ENCROACHMENT UNTIL COMPLETION OF THE NEW
DWELLING
The Building Official explained that the request is to allow an
existing nonconforming dwelling to remain until a new dwelling is
constructed on the same lot. Ordinarily this would not require a
variance if the applicant is able to post the necessary guarantee
for removal of the present dwelling, in this case a $3000 bond.
The applicant would like to have $1000 put in escrow for the
removal of the dwelling after the new structure is built. The
Planning Commission recommended approval on an 8 to 1 vote.
The city Attorney suggested that his office prepare an agreement
for the applicant to sign which would give the City a temporary
easement to enter the property and remove the dwelling and assess
the cost to the applicant if the dwelling is not removed in a
timely manner. The Council discussed a time limit to have the
dwelling removed. They suggested 60 days after the Certificate of
12
January 28, 1992
Occupancy for the new dwelling is issued. The Staff is to
incorporate all of these conditions into the resolution which will
be filed with Hennepin County. The City Attorney will prepare the
agreement

1.2 RECOMMENDATION FROM PARKS AND OPEN SPACE COMMISSION RE: LIGHT
pOLE ON PUBLIC LAND, 4701 ISLAND VIEW DRIVEw GREG KNUTSON
The City Manager reported that at the Park & Open Space Commission
Meeting the Park Director informed them that the pole existed prior
to Mr. Knutson purchasing the property. He recommended that the
lights on the pole be shielded so that they do not create a hazard
to navigation. At that meeting, Mr. Knutson confirmed that he did
not install the pole, however he has replaced the spot lights and
the speakers on the pole. He stated that the lights are needed for
security and safety purposes since the grade is steep and the area
is difficult to traverse in the dark. The outlet on the pole is
used for a weed whip to trim the Commons area.
The Park & Open Space Commission recommended approval on a 6 to 1
vote and 1 abstention with the following conditions:
The electrical line be located and shown on a site plan for
City records.
The lights be shielded.
Proof of an electrical inspection be submitted to the city.
The Council discussed the stereo speakers on the light pole. The
city Attorney stated that allowing this would set a precedent of
allowing private property on public property.
The Building Official recommended not allowing the speakers.
Jessen moved and Johnson seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION %92-13
