Mr. Ken Lockwood Variance Request Mr. Ken Lockwood was present for this request. Chairman Tracy indicated that Mr. Ken Lockwood who lives at 13616 192nd Avenue North- west, Elk River, has constructed an agricultural pole barn structure without first obtaining a building permit to do so. Chairman Tracy further indcated that Mr. Lockwood's agricultural structure encroaches approximately 425 feet closer than the 600 foot requirement to Belgian Acres Platted subdivision. Mr. Lockwood indicated to the Planning Commissioners that the poles to his building had been in the ground since 1978 or 1979, and that he had planned on putting this building up for some time. Mr. Lockwood further indicated that he owned a total of 27 acres. Commissioner Pearce questioned Mr. Lockwood as to why he did not come into the City to get a building permit for the agricultural building. Mr. Lockwood indicated that he did not think he needed a building permit for an agricultural building because there would be no footings involved, and he also indicated that the building is being used to replace an older building, and that it is used for milk cows. Mr. Lockwood further indicated that by putting the building where it is now, it is farther away from the subdivision than the older building was. The Planning Commission members reviewed the five standards found under Section 900.40(5) of the Elk River Zoning Ordinance, and found them all to be positive in Mr. Lockwood's case.
