ITEM 8-A DON MYRON APPEAL OF BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS RULING (10-04-95) Community Development Director Hurlburt stated that on July 11, 1995, the City Council denied the variance request of Michael Herrick and Don Myron for 305 Quantico Lane North and adopted the findings of fact and decision prepared by the City Attorney. On October 26, the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals met to again hear a request from Mr. Myron to construct a new detached single family home on the subject property. This request for a variance was identical to the previous request for a variance that the Board denied on April 19, 1995. The Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals unanimously denied Mr. Myron's variance request. Mr. Myron again appealed the Board's ruling to the City Council. Director Hurlburt stated there is no substantial new information relating to the variance application. She presented a letter received today from Mr. Myron's attorney. The City Attorney has reviewed the letter; however, it has not changed the staff s recommendation for denial, upholding the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals action. Director Hurlburt described the lot as very narrow and showed the proposed site plan. She reviewed the six criteria for variance considerations. Based on these criteria, the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals denied the variance request. The Board indicated that there was no change from the original denial findings adopted by the City Council on July 11. Regular Council Meeting December 5, 1995 Page 9 Councilmember Wold stated that nothing new was brought forward when this variance request was considered at the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals meeting. Lawrence P. Marofsky, 2835 Medicine Ridge Road, attorney for Mr. Myron, stated that the past focus on this variance request has been on the findings of fact adopted by the City Council. There have been suggestions that the applicant had created this hardship on himself when he purchased the property. Mr. Marofsky explained that Mr. Myron made diligent inquiry on the property when he purchased it. Mr. Myron checked the title and found no prohibition on development of the property. Mr. Myron also came to the City Hall and met with Blair Tremere, Chuck Dillerud, and Al Cottingham regarding the property. They did not indicate there was a problem. Mr. Marofsky stated that Mr. Myron knew that other lots of similar size were developed since 1977. Those lots had variances granted for the side and front yard setbacks. Mr. Marofsky said that the hardship on this parcel was not caused by Mr. Myron. Mr. Myron was not aware that obtaining a variance would be a problem. The City had the opportunity to acquire this lot, and it was also available for purchase by the abutting property owner. Mr. Marofsky stated that if the City believed the property was unbuildable, the City should have acquired the parcel and not allowed it to go on public auction. Mr. Marofsky stated that all of the lots in this subdivision are substandard, and this is a dual frontage lot. The City Council has previously granted variances for dual frontage lots and waived the setback requirements. Mr. Marofsky stated that if Mr. Myron cannot build on this lot, then he has been denied use of the property. Construction of a single family home on this lot would create value for the neighborhood, and the value of the proposed home is more than the average home value in the neighborhood. He stated that it would also benefit the City to have this lot cleaned up and developed, and he urged the Council to grant the variance. Cheri L. Geitz, 315 Quantico Lane North, stated she lives on the abutting property and requested that the Council deny the variance. She does not believe that development of this lot would increase the value of her home. She stated that when Mr. Myron, a developer, purchased the lot, he knew that a variance would be needed in order to develop the property. She stated that similar substandard lots in this neighborhood have been adjoined to the abutting properties. Ms. Geitz stated that at the previous meeting to consider the variance, she offered to purchase the property from Mr. Myron. Mr. Myron indicated that he wasn't interested in discussing it. Ms. Geitz stated she is concerned that the large pine trees would be damaged or lost if the lot is developed. She stated that this variance request does not meet the variance criteria because the request is being made exclusively to increase the value of the land and development would be detrimental to surrounding properties. She also believes that a public safety hazard Regular Council Meeting December 5, 1995 Page 10 could be created because the proposed home would be within 10 feet of her property line. Ms. Geitz stated that the five owners of similar substandard lots in this area have no intention of requesting a variance in order to build on their lots. Richard Larson, 15315 3rd Avenue North, requested that the Council deny the variance request. He stated that development of the property would be a detriment to the neighborhood, and he would be concerned about the safety of children with an additional street access. Mayor Tierney stated that she sees no change from the previous variance application. There was a restraining order relating to granting a variance on the property when it was purchased by Mr. Myron in 1986 for $2,000. Now Mr. Myron is attempting to sell the property for $40,000. She stated that this is not a unique situation as there are five similar parcels in this neighborhood that were consolidated with the abutting parcels. MOTION was made by Mayor Tierney, seconded by Councilmember Anderson, to adopt RESOLUTION 95-757 DENYING VARIANCE REQUEST FOR DON MYRON, 305 QUANTICO LANE NORTH, and adopting Findings of Fact and Decision relating to the Application of Don Myron for a Front Yard Setback Variance. Mr. Marofsky requested to know the basis for the Council's conclusion that Mr. Myron knew a variance was needed for development when he purchased the property. He said that Mr. Myron was not informed a variance was necessary for development. Mr. Marofsky stated that the value of the property is irrelevant. Single family residential use was allowed on the parcel when it was purchased. The value of the land today is what the market will bear for a single family residential lot. He stated that a residential single family home is the only use that is allowed for this lot. A garage or other structure could not be constructed alone on the lot. Mr. Marofsky stated that without the variance, this lot becomes a worthless piece of property. He believes that the City has created this situation due to changes in the Zoning Ordinance and in setback requirements. He stated that Mr. Myron did what was reasonable by checking the property with the City, and the 10 -foot side yard setback is similar to other neighborhoods. This will provide a 20 foot clearance from house to house. He stated that the abutting property owner had two previous opportunities to purchase this property. City Attorney Knutson stated that when Mr. Myron purchased the property, there was a restraining order against the City granting a variance on the property. That restraining order was issued in January, 1978, and Mr. Myron purchased the property in 1986. Regular Council Meeting December 5, 1995 Page 11 Mr. Myron stated that he was not aware that the restraining order was in effect when he purchased the property, and that the restraining order was only good for one year. He learned about the restraining order when he came to the City for a building permit in March, 1995, and was informed of the restraining order. Mr. Marofsky stated that Mr. Myron had the restraining order removed as part of this application. Councilmember Lymangood stated that his vote will reflect the findings of fact that the Council adopted earlier this year. He also referenced a letter from Community Development Blair Tremere in 1986 stating that due to "ownership of these substandard and unbuildable parcels..." development requests could not be processed. Motion carried, five ayes. ITEM 8-C (6-N) APPROVE POLICY FOR ACCEPTANCE OF PRIVATE STREETS INTO PUBLIC STREET SYSTEM Councilmember Anderson recognized Maria Vasiliou, a resident of Chelsea Woods. She advocated the Private Street issue when she was a councilmember. Councilmember Anderson described the Council Subcommittee process used to develop the policy and urged its passage. MOTION was made by Councilmember Anderson, seconded by Councilmember Edson, to adopt RESOLUTION 95-758 ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR ACCEPTANCE OF PRIVATE STREETS INTO THE PUBLIC STREET SYSTEM. Councilmember Wold explained that this is a policy establishing rules for acceptance of private streets into the public street system which will provide guidance to residents and the City. Councilmember Edson stated that the actual acceptance of streets into the public street system would occur through a legal act of the Council. Motion carried, five ayes. ITEM 8-B (6-D) APPROVE HOUSING GOALS AGREEMENT FOR METROPOLITAN LIVABLE COMMUNITIES ACT Community Development Director Hurlburt presented the draft Housing Goals Agreement for the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act. She recommended the substitution of language to read: "There has been no decision by either the City of Plymouth or the Metropolitan Council on the extent, timing or location of any MUSA expansion. This agreement does not imply that such an expansion will take place. If at some time the MUSA is expanded, it is the intent of the City of Regular Council Meeting December 5, 1995 Page 12 Plymouth to renegotiate the housing goals with the Metropolitan Council, as part of the process of amending the City's Comprehensive Plan." Councilmember Lymangood explained that the City is clarifying that these housing goals are earmarked for the area inside the MUSA. The City does not want to limit its options for the area outside of the MUSA. Community Development Director Hurlburt stated that these proposed goals are not appropriate for the area outside of the MUSA. At such time as the City develops a plan for development outside of the MUSA, new goals will be established for the area. Councilmember Anderson stated that the input of northwest Plymouth residents is needed to develop those new goals in the future. MOTION was made by Councilmember Anderson, seconded by Councilmember Wold, to adopt RESOLUTION 95-759 AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF DRAFT HOUSING GOALS AGREEMENT TO THE METROPOLITAN HOUSING COUNCIL PURSUANT TO THE METROPOLITAN LIVABLE COMMUNITIES ACT, as amended above. Motion carried, five ayes. ITEM 9-A ESTABLISH SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING City Manager Johnson suggested that the City Council establish a Special Council meeting on Tuesday, December 12, beginning at 6:00 p.m. to discuss the Recreational Sports Facilities Report. MOTION was made by Councilmember Edson, seconded by Councilmember Anderson, to establish a Special Council Meeting for December 12, at 6:00 p.m., to discuss the Recreational Sports Facilities Report. Motion carried, five ayes. MOTION was made by Mayor Tierney, seconded by Councilmember Lymangood, to adjourn the meeting at 7:55 p.m. Motion carried, five ayes. Laurie Ahrens City Clerk
