AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: mcc Reviewed By: J. Barnhart Approved By: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. This application is regarding variances (for lot area and lot width; hardcover and <br />building within the 75-foot setback); and conditional use permits (for grading in the floodplain <br />and plumbing within an accessory building) in order to develop the vacant property. <br /> <br />2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received on March 13, 2020 and <br />considered to be complete on October 26th. Therefore the 60-Day review period expires on <br />December 25, 2020. <br /> <br />3. Background/ Summary. This property has a history of variances to redevelop beginning in <br />2009 when the home was demolished. Variances were granted, renewed, and eventually expired <br />due to inactivity. In 2017, new owners, Bill and Kathleen Wanner, requested approvals to develop <br />the property. Those plans were delayed and the approvals expired. The Wanners wish to proceed <br />with construction of their home and are currently requesting similar approvals to do so. <br />Additionally included is a conditional use permit to allow plumbing within the proposed <br />accessory building. <br /> <br />The current plans reflect less hardcover in the 75-foot setback and the average lakeshore setback <br />encroachments have been reduced from the previously approved plans. Still required are <br />approvals to permit the modifications to the floodplain to facilitate elevation of the home out of <br />the floodplain. The applicant is working with the MCWD to assure proper permitting and <br />appropriate floodplain mitigation. There will be import and export of materials throughout the <br />project. The City’s Engineer has reviewed and approved the grading plan. <br /> <br /> Currently Proposed Plan <br /> 2019 Approved Plan <br />There were a number of open issues at the public hearing which the applicant addressed with the <br />revised plan submitted on October 26th with the exception of the requirement for a 15-foot <br />elevation bench of 931.5’ around the home due to the building being elevated out of the <br />floodplain on fill. The applicant is providing a minimum bench of ±12 feet in some places; a <br />Item No.: 20 Date: November 9, 2020 <br />Item Description: LA20-000022 – Randy Haapala, HNH Homes o/b/o William & <br />Kathleen Wanner, 1095 Ferndale Rd West, Variances + CUPs <br />Presenter: Melanie Curtis <br />Planner <br />Agenda <br />Section: <br />Consent Agenda <br />177 <br />177
