AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: mcc Reviewed By: L. Oakden Approved By: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. This application is regarding lot area, lot width, and hardcover variances supporting <br />construction of a new home. <br /> <br />2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received and considered to be complete on <br />June 22. Therefore the 60-Day review period expires on August 21, 2022. <br /> <br />3. Background/ Summary. The applicant’s original submittal was revised prior to the Planning <br />Commission meeting in an attempt to address some of the issues called out by staff in the planning <br />report. The revised plans (Exhibit B) reflect a footprint reduction to a conforming level, elimination <br />of a side setback variance, and a lower hardcover level than originally proposed. The revised plans <br />were reviewed at the July 18th Planning Commission meeting. <br /> <br />According to the revised plans they continue to request a hardcover variance to permit 29.2% <br />hardcover where 25% is permitted and 32.1% currently exists (the original request plans reflected <br />30.8% hardcover). Lot area and lot width variances are necessary due to the request for the hardcover <br />variance based on to the property’s substandard size. The revised plan reflects a 214 square foot <br />reduction in hardcover. <br /> <br />4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. On July 18th, the Planning Commission held a public <br />hearing. Following the public hearing the Planning Commission voted 4 in favor and 2 opposed to a <br />motion to approve the variances according to the revised plans. The dissenting Commissioners felt <br />that the redevelopment should be conforming. <br /> <br />5. Public Comment. Comments from the neighbors were received and are attached as Exhibit D. <br /> <br />6. Staff Recommendation.
