This application is regarding side yard and street yard setback variances in order to <br />construct an attached garage. <br /> <br />2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received on August 16, 2022 and <br />considered to be complete on August 16, 2022. Therefore the 60-Day review period expires on October <br />17, 2022. <br /> <br />3. Background/ Summary. The applicants are requesting a variance from the 30-foot street yard <br />setback in order to construct a two car garage addition to the home. The garage addition is proposed to be <br />set back approximately 15 feet from the street property line (Elmwood Ave), where a 30-foot setback is <br />required. A walkway is also proposed to be constructed with decking material 5.9’ from the side lot line <br />where a 7.5’ setback is required. The existing detached garage currently encroaches 2 feet into the right- <br />of-way, outside the property boundary; the existing side walkway encroaches 4’ into the side yard <br />setback. The proposed project improves the street and side yard setback from the existing conditions. <br /> <br />4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment.
