10-05-99 CC Minutes Regular Meeting of the City Council October 5, 1999 Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Golden Valley, Hennepin County, Minnesota was held at 7800 Golden Valley Road in said City on October 5, 1999 at 6:30 p.m. The following members were present: Anderson, Bakken, Johnson, and LeSuer; and the following member was absent: Micks. Also present were: William Joynes, City Manager; Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works; Allen Barnard, City Attorney; and Judy Nally, Administrative Secretary. Citizen Input Mayor Anderson introduced the agenda item. Paul Pranghofer, 4910 Dawnview Terrace, stated he would like to put a utility shed in his backyard. Stated his shed is small enough so he does not need a permit, but is required to have a lot survey done because of where he plans on placing the shed on his lot and then he would have to apply for a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals. He would like to have the requirement waived because of his handicap as he feels the process is inflexible, and the cost of the survey would cost more than the shed. Mayor Anderson requested staff prepare a report for the next City Council meeting. The Mayor continued the meeting.
