Item 7: Public Hearing: Brett and Karen Benson Conditional Use Permit
ChairRieb opened the public hearing for consideration of the application of Brett and
Karen Benson for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the expansion of an existing non-
conforming single family dwelling on their property located at 9926 - 199th Street West
in the R-2, Single Family Residential District and the Shoreland Overlay District for Lake
Marion. City Attorney Roger Knutson attested that the legal notice had been mailed and
published as required by state statute.
Associate Planner Frank Dempsey stated that the Bensons' application for a Conditional
Use Permit is to construct an attached garage onto their home at 9926 - 199th Street W.
• The applicant is proposing to remove the existing detached garage, which is non-
conforming, as well as a detached shed which encroaches over the east property line.
The proposed garage will meet the ten-foot minimum setback requirement to make it
conforming. Mr. Dempsey stated that the existing deck setback is also non-conforming,
however, the non-conformity was not identified in the planning report as a
recommendation by staff to be brought into conformity. Mr. Dempsey stated that the
City attempts to bring non-conforming situations into compliance whenever possible.
Mr. Dempsey has visited the property and stated that he did not feel it would be difficult
to relocate the deck footing and re-establish the beam. The existing house encroaches
into the sideyard setback and would remain.. By moving the deck over eight inches, it
would be brought into compliance. Staff feels the addition of the garage and elimination
of the non-compliance situations will improve the property and recommends approval of
the Conditional Use Permit.
Brett Benson was present and stated that he agreed with all the stipulations, however, if
at all possible, he would prefer not to be required to reduce the deck by eight inches in
width.
Committee member Cecchini asked which direction the lumber on the deck was
running. He also asked about a concrete pad on the property which is noted on the
survey drawing. Mr. Benson responded that the concrete pad was from an old barbecue
and he intended to remove the concrete as part of this construction project. Committee
• member Miller stated that since Mr. Benson is improving his property by bringing all
.items except the house and deck into compliance, he felt it was unnecessary to require
moving the deck.

Roll call was called on the motion.
Ayes: Kot, Wanner, Rieb, Skipton, Cecchini, Miller.
Nay: 0
Michael Sobota stated that there have been other situations where people have had
greater hardships and he does not feel the architectural integrity of the structure-will be
lost by moving the deck. This would bring all non-conforming issues, with the
exception of the house itself, into compliance.
Commission member Miller stated Mr. Benson has done a good job in attempting to
bring several issues on his property into compliance and since the deck is part of the
house, he does not consider it a necessity to move the deck. Chair Rieb agreed and
stated that each case should be treated individually and since the item was not stated as
part of staff's original conditions in the planning report, it should not be required.
Sobota asked Mr. Benson if he would agree to add the removal of the concrete pad as a
stipulation. Mr. Benson agreed.
There was no public comment.
98-103 Motion was made by Kot, Second by Cecchini, to recommend to City Council approval
of the Conditional Use Permit requested by Brett and Karen Benson to allow the

Shoreland Overlay District for Lake Marion subject to the five stipulations listed in the
