//. Planning Commission Chairman Kelley Orono Planning Commission Members City Administrator Bernhardson ProBs Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator Date: June 11, 1990 Subject: #1541 Dr. Roby (• Jane Thompson. 1520 Tanglewood Road - Variance - Public Hearing Zoning District - RR-IB, Single family rural residential, 2 acre, unsewered Application - Request for rear setback variance to construct additions to existing residence List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exnibit B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Property Owners List Exhibit D - Applicants Description of Request Exhibit E - Site Plan Exhibit F - Survey Exhibit G - Constructions Plans Exhibit H - Documentation from 1979 Variance Request Pertinent Facts - 1. The applicants are proposing two small additions to expand existing rooms within the residence. The master bedroom expansion is totally within the rear yard, and a portion of the living area expansion also encroaches. 2. The existing house was granted variances to be constructed less than the required 50' from the rear lot line in 1979. That variance request allowed a rear setback of 20' due to severe site limitations of topography and limited drainfield sites. The house actually was constructed about 26' from the north lot line. The nearest point of the proposed bedroom expansion would be 21.9' from the north lot line. 3. Although not cited by the Planning Commission and Council as a justification for granting the rear setback variance in 1979, the fact that the rear line abuts a DNR woodland may have influenced the variance approval, since we would expect no houses being constructed north of the property. 4. Ti»“ proposed additions do not have any impa*-’. on the existing or future drainfitid sites, and will not increase the use of the septic system.
