CASE 83-i25- SCHLEE BUILDERS. WOODCREST OF MOUND 3RD ADDITION. 8 FOOT
FRONT YARD SETBACK VARIANCES
The Council asked questions about the drainage easement and temporary
drainage ditch on Lot 3. Block 4. The Building Official explained
that a permanent culvert has been installed to handle drainage from
Outlot A north to Lake Langdon and the temporary ditch is not needed
any longer. Councilmember Paulsen asked about the size of the culvert
and whether the material the culvert is made of will hold up for the
future. The Building Official stated it is a 12" culvert and is~made
of corregated metal. She will check with the City Engineer on the
corregated metal to see what problems could arise from using that
material. She also stated that the Builder has withdrawn this
.particular lot from his variance request.
The Council moved on to the the remaining lots for which variances
were .requested. Councilmember Paulsen asked if the lots could be
built upon without variances if they are brought bacflc up to where they
were before the former developer changed the drainage plan. The
Building Official answered yes, but it would be.quite costly to get
the drainage plan back to what it should has been... Mayor Polston
stated that he w ould be hard put to vote for any of these variances
because to him they did not seem to meet the criteria needed for a
variance. Mr. Fierst, the developer, stated that he is just trying to
give any potential buyers a bigger back yard area and not have the
homes built right up against the hill, by .obtaining the variances tc
the front setbacks. He stated he can go ahead and build 840 square
foot homes with the existing setback requirements and leave the
problems to the future owners.

Block 1 and having a future drainage plan for behind Lots 1~and 2.
