They are <br />requested multiple setback variances to use the lot for a single family home. They are <br />requesting a 40' front yard setback where a 50' is required. They are requesting a 7.5 interior <br />side yard setback where a 10' feet is required. They are requesting a 8.5 side street setback <br />where 30' is required. The front and interior side yard setbacks seem reasonable for the small <br />lot location. The Planning Commission should discussion if the 8.5 foot proposed street side <br />setback seems reasonable for the home and location. <br />Lot Area and Width Variance (Section 78-305) <br />Zoning Code Section 78-72 provides options for the redevelopment of lots which do not meet <br />the minimum area or width requirements for the respective zoning district. Substandard <br />properties within the Shoreland Overlay District, like the subject lot, are able to be redeveloped <br />without variances if specific standards are met; such as: <br />1. All setback requirements can be met. Not Met. <br />2. A Type 1 sewage treatment system consistent with Minnesota Rules, chapter 7080, can <br />be installed or the lot is connected to a public sewer; and <br />3. The impervious surface coverage meets all hardcover location and square footage <br />restrictions of this chapter and the total square footage of hardcover does not exceed <br />35 percent of the entire lot area. <br />4. All other zoning district standards can be met. Not Met. <br />The applicant's need for a multiple setback variances and structural coverage variance results in <br />the property's inability to conform to #1 and #4 above. Therefore, a lot width and area variance <br />is also required in order to develop the property. <br />Structural Coverage (78-1403) <br />The city code allows on lots of less than 10,000 square feet in area, the total combined footprints <br />of all principal and accessory structures shall not exceed 2,000 square feet. The application is <br />requesting a structural coverage variance to allow 348 additional s.f of coverage over the <br />permitted 2,000 sq.ft per the city code. The applicant is proposed a rambler style of home that <br />is fitting within the neighborhood. <br />Governing Regulation: Variance (Section 78-123) <br />In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the <br />
