1. Minutes of October 19, 1978 regular meeting.
Cardinal ruled to continue the approval of the Minutes from the
October 19, 1978 meeting for lack of quorum present from that meeting.
2. Variance Request #78-17 from Michael J. Axtman for sideyard setback
variance at 8360 Hiawatha Ave.
Micheal J. Axtman presented a letter of approval signed by five
of his neighbors. He explained he wanted to add a garage to his
existing garage with a sun room above it. This addition would end 4'
from the property line.
Cardinal stated Caroly Maiden, 8380 Hiawatha, the neighbor to the
south of Axtman's proposed addition, had called him. She was in
opposition to the structure since it would make the two homes too
close together and she was concerned over the possible drainage
problem. Cardinal noted that the Board is sensitive to the
immediate neighbors feelings.
Krueger added if this variance request was for a one story structure
he may feel different.
Lynch stated that the neighborhood is not a zero lot line area and
there is not another situation like it in Eden Prairie. He was not
in favor of a two story plan.
Cardinal felt the request was well beyond the limits of the City Ordinance.
MOTION: Lynch moved to deny the variance based on the objection
of the immediate affected neighbor. Krueger seconded; motion carried
unanimously.
DISCUSSION: The board discussed the possibility of adding the
garage to the front of the existing garage noting that a variance
would also be needed for this.

variance to constuct a deck at 9500 thur 06 Clubhouse Rd.

allow for the deck to extend 10' .
Cardinal questioned if the deck was in the original plans.
McGlynn answered that they had altered the plans to get the building
within the lot lines. He noted that only one footing would be too close to
the rear lot line because of the way the building is situated.
MOTION: Krueger moved to approve the variance to allow a 4.51variance
since it would not be a detriment to the health and welfare of
the City .of Eden Prairie. Lynch seconded; motion carried unanimously.

deck.
