approximately 72 square feet of signage which currently exceeds the 64
square foot allowable signage.

Mayor Tralle indicated that the major requests for the plat are variances
for the lot sizes. The City's definition of lot area states that no area
occupied by rivers. streams. lakes or any area one acre or larger
classified as a US Army Corp of Engineers type 3. 4. or 5 wet land can be
included in lot area. As Kliever's Marsh is classified as a lake in the
Ordinance. no lot area can include any portion of Kliever's Marsh below
the ordinanry high water mark.

eliminate
Commission representative Arlon Fuchs indicated that the
Commission recommended denial of the variances and requested
plat be divided into three lots instead of four so as to
the need for lot size variances.
Steve Bjork. Zoning Assistant. also indicated that Mr. Kuhn is requesting
variances to the setback from the ordinary high water mark. The DNR
setback requirement is a 200 foot setback from the ordinary high water
mark to structures for lots that abut an environmental lake. Mr. Kuhn is
requesting a 150 foot encroachment on all four lots due to the irregular
shape of Kliever's Marsh and the limitations this puts on the location of
housing sites.
Mayor Tralle opened the public hearing.
Mr. Ron Langbehn of 10675 175th Ave. No. indicated that the increased
population on the road would cause the need for upgrading. He questioned
who would pay for this. He further questioned whether an arm for the
railroad crossing would be necessary and who would pay for this. Mr.
Langbehn indicated that the lights from the vehicles using the road would
shine in his bedroom window and questioned whether the road could be
graded so as to prevent this.
Mayor Tralle closed the public hearing.

e
Councilmember Kropuenske indicated that his reason for approval of the
variance to the setbacks for the Ordinary High Water Mark is that the
building sites are sufficiently high and that Kliever's Marsh would
overflow 17Sth Avenue to the county ditch south of that road before it
would flood the proposed houses in the plat. He further indicated that
the adjacent three lots to this plat have been granted similar variances.
