Although this path is not maintained by the Park Department, it is utilized by
the public visiting Highlands Park. The proponents, Nancy Garnaas and Kevin
McTigue, had expressed willingness to consider conveying the encroachment area to
the City, possibly in exchange for additional property along their southerly
border. The private benefit would be to reduce the size of the requested lot
width variances; the public benefit would be that the City would acquire control
of the path.
The proposed subdivision was first considered by the Planning Commission on
October 1, 1992.
to allow the Park Board to consider a proposed land trade. The City Attorney
reviewed the proposed trade and determined that it could take place, however,
procedurally it may be more practical to consider the grant of lot width variance
and acquisition of the path by way of subdivision dedication. The Park Board
considered the trade at two occasions and at their November 10, 1992, meeting did
recommend that the City accept the proposed trade, subject to 1) that the
proponents pay any cost the City might incur in accomplishing the trade, and 2)
that the City maintain a park use easement over the property to be traded to the
proponents (no buildings or other improvements would be allowed on the traded
land).
At that meeting the Commission continued the hearing in order
On December 2, 1992, the Planning Commission again considered the revised plan
with the Park Board recommendation. Staff's recommendation to the Commission was
to recommend approval of the preliminary plat without the land trade and that
they grant the variances based on the unusual shape of the property. Recommended
conditions for preliminary approval included: 1) final plat approval, and 2) an
easement over the path area as a part or all of subdivision dedication. The vote
on the motion to approve the preliminary plat failed and the Commission took no
other action.
Member Smith disclosed that Jerry Carroll, Carroll & Leighton, who is
representing the proponents is a co-tenant in their office lease. Member Smith
stated that he has no financial interest in their firm and did not feel
participating in the hearing on the proposed plat to be a conflict of interest.
Michael Bolen stated for the record that he knows both individuals and would have
no objection. No further comments or objections were heard.
Presentation by ProDonents
Jerry Carroll, attorney for the proponents, referenced a letter dated November
10, 2992, from Ceil Strauss, Area Hydrologist, Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) to Nancy Garnaas, proponent, in which Mr. Strauss said the wetland in
Highlands Park is under the jurisdiction of the DNR.

was to gain some additional width for the lot and if the property was to be
traded it was going to be subjected to a permanent park easement. The City
Attorney correctly determined that as a practical matter the end result would be
the same, i.e. park property before and park property after. Mr. Carroll
introduced James Stageberg, architect for the proponents, to make a presentation
of the proposed home.

would have no negative impact on the view of the park from the homes on Skyline
Drive because of its low profile.
Nancy Garnaas and Kevin McTigue, proponents, then presented slides of the
topography surrounding the subject property including the park path, noting that
homes are visible on all sides of the park.
The house would fit into the natural grade of the land and
Mayor Richards mentioned that all correspondence received regarding the proposed
subdivision had been distributed to the Council.
Public Comment
James T. Swenson said that he was an attorney.representing area residents who
object to the proposed subdivision.
1) magnitude of the lot width variances totaling 57 feet, .with the Planning
Commission voting the proposal down by an 8-3 vote, 2) the hardship is economic
related, 3) the hardship is self-created as the 125 foot lot width ordinance
requirement was in effect before the proponent purchased the property, 4) the
character and symmetry of the neighborhood would be adversely impacted because of
the increased density and the neighbors would be looking down at large roof
expanse, 5) the park area below the subject property is like the north woods, and
a three story house would change the character and symmetry drastically, and 6)
snow removal and maintenance has been difficult and will be more so with another
driveway .
Their objections are based on the following:
Marilyn Colby-Rivkin, 5642 Interlachen Circle, said she wanted to be sure the
park path would remain for use by the neighborhood and spoke in support of the
proposed subdivision.
Michael Bolen, 5207 Doncaster Way, said he purchased his home in 1970 because of
the unique, wonderful park area that reminded him of northern Minnesota.
submitted that all the homes on Skyline Drive are up on the street level and no
buildings intrude into the buffer area to the park. A home constructed in that
area would be highly offensive to those who enjoy this natural area. He raised
the following issues relating to the proposal:
1) there exists a five foot utility easement on the side lot line which would
remain,
2) character and symmetry would be affected if the spacing between the homes on
Skyline Drive is not maintained for the new home, 3) to the eye the spacing of
homes on the
cul-de-sac would appear closer, and 4) assurance that the park path will remain
open to the public. In conclusion, Mr. Bolen said that the residents on Lockloy
Drive and Doncaster Way who have a view of the subject property are unanimously
opposed.
He
Keith VanLeer, 5125 Skyline Drive, commented that the proponents have not .
demonstrated hardship that is not self-created. His concerns were that the
character and symmetry of the neighborhood would be changed and that adding
another driveway to the cul-de-sac would add to the problem of snow storage and
future vehicular traffic. Further, there is no guarantee that the house that has
been presented is the one that will be built. He pointed out that the homes in
the Skyline Addition that are within the 500 foot neighborhood and will be
affected have signed a petition opposing the subdivision and that should weigh
heavily in the Council's decision.
Bob Guberud, 5617 Interlachen Circle, told Council that he walks the park area
often, has and has evaluated the affect the addition of the one new home would

have and could see no aesthetic negative. He felt the large homes on Interlachen

Ann Smith, 5117 Skyline Drive, said she could understand granting variances for a
few feet but not for 53 feet as in this case.
Prooonent Resoonse
In response to concerns of the neighborhood, Mr. McTigue made the following
comments :
1) their property is heavily wooded and would obscure their new home; it would
not be in their interest to have neighbors look into their windows, 2) because of
the curve of Skyline Drive only a few residents on the street would actually be
affected, 3) comments were made at the Planning Commission and Park Board
meetings that it would obstruct the view of the park land because the home would
be in the park, he countered that this is their property which happens to be
adjacent to the actual park, 4) were the City to impose the current ordinance
requirements on the lots in Skyline that are within the 500 foot radius only two
would meet the requirements.
Mr. Carroll offered the following in rebuttal: 1) the hardship is created by the
shape and size of the lot, 2) ordinance reference to character and symmetry has
to do with the size of the lot in relationship to the size and shape of the lots
in the area, and also density, 3) no one will have their view blocked by
construction of the new house, 4) the park path is well below where the house
will be sited, and 5) regarding the possibility of a road over this property,
nothing in the title would give the possibility of a rise to a prescriptive
easement or adverse possession of the property.
Nancy Garnaas, proponent, recalled that at the Planning Commission meeting the
comment was made that this was a beautiful site and if built on with restrictions
could add to the neighborhood.

Member Kelly said it would difficult for her to change that,
Mayor Richards offered the following comments on the proposal. When the Skyline
addition was developed a natural break in the topography occurred, from 920 feet
to 890 feet, resulting in a non-buildable lot and a question of economics. He
said he would not support any request for variances on the subject property. If
there were no need for variances they would be entitled to the requested
subdivision.
Member Smith commented that this is a unique situation - they are not trying to
squeeze a house between two homes. Based on the information as to where the
house footprint will be located, he said he did not feel it would negatively
impact views.

of Richfield as to their current position.
