Lockwood Variance Request - Public Hearing Councilmember Engstrom indicated that Mr. Ken Lockwood of 13616 192nd Avenue NW has requested a variance to the City Ordinance regarding minimum setbacks for agricultural buildings. Councilmember Engstrom indicated that Mr. Lockwood has requested a variance, as he neglected to obtain a building permit for construction of a metal-skinned agricultural building and therefore, placed the building on the old building site which encroaches 425 feet into the required 600 foot minimum setback requirements. Councilmember Engstrom indicated that the Planning Com- mission reviewed and discussed the findings necessary and found that they could grant Mr. Lockwood the variance with specific conditions. Councilmember Engstrom further indicated that the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission were that Mr. Lockwood clean up the entire area and that his variance be reviewed yearly. Mayor Hinkle opened the public hearing. Mr. Ken Lockwood indicated that he had started the construction of the building a number of years ago, that the poles were set, and that he did not know about the City's setback requirements. Discussion was carried on between the City Council and Mr. Lockwood regarding the construction of the new barn and the cleanup of his property.
