4.Section 10.03, Subdivision 9 -To permit all accessory buildings to remain on the property absent a principal building. Accessor\' Building lnvcntor\ Bam 1,072 s.f. Garage 1,378 s.f. Shed 1 87 s.f Shed 2 i 03 s.f Shed 3 148 s.f The applicants have chosen the proposed location for the existing house based on the existing driveway arrangement, location of buildings on the property and septic drainfield sites. 1 he property is located along County Read 6. In 1998. a portion of south part of the property was acquired for improvements to the Road. The area acquired is shown on the survey as document no. 7616078. The front property line is now defined as the north portion of the easement. Ihe new house is proposed to be located meeting the same setback as the existing house. Both measuring 53.6' to the “new” front property line where 100’ is required in the zoning district. Site Layout The site plan indicates the building envelope on the property that could be used for construction of the new house. The property owners have stated they do not want to remove the existing accessoiy buildings that have been on the property. They also would like to utilize the existing driveway location for the house, garage and bam. Staff has reviewed options for shifting the new house to the north. That becomes a problem due to the septic tanks and drainfield located north of the house. Structures are required to be located 20' to the drainfield site. 1 h: drainfield was installed in 1998 and was designed for a three-bedroom house. Shifting the house to the north to meet a greater front setback is not possible due to the drainfield location only 20 ’ from the house. file front setback becomes a question whether the location and driveway access to the existing detached garage is a sufficient hardship to require the .new house to be located to the west. The zoning code would suggest the preferred option for the house location would be to turn the house to meet the 100’ front setback and 50’ side .setback. Again, this option would eliminate the drivewa\ access to the existing detached garage. I he proposed house location does require a \ariance to the required side setback. I hc house is proposed to meet the same setback as the existing house. 43.6’ to the west property line where 50’ is required. The actual setback would be measured to the chimney which protrudes 1.33’ from the building. The actual setback is proposed to be 42.27 ’. The well location requires the house to be shifted to the west into the .setback. The site plan shows the well located off the south and east side of the house. Relocating the house to meet the minimum front and side setbacks would move the building to a clearing in the property away from a large group of trees that provide screening between the stmeture and the roadway. The attached property photos show the screening that is provided to the existing house.
