AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: mcc Reviewed By: LLO Approved By: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. This application is regarding a front setback variance for a new stoop. <br /> <br />2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received and was considered to be complete <br />on July 17, 2023. Therefore the 60-Day review period expires on September 15, 2023. <br /> <br />3. Background/ Summary. The property owner constructed the home in approximately 1972 at the 30- <br />foot front yard setback. The owner is updating the home including new siding. They have removed the <br />existing minimal concrete stoop and hope to replace it with an 8’x 8’ deck. <br /> <br />4. Variance Description. The landing of the existing minimal stoop is situated at approximately 27 feet <br />from the front property line; the new proposed stoop will be 22 feet from the front lot line. It is possible <br />that, in the near future, the property owner will require accessibility accommodations including a ramp to <br />access the home through the front door the proposed front deck would be permitted. However, as the <br />applicant is not proposing the accessible ramp at this time the deck requires a setback variance. <br /> <br />5. Planning Commission Vote and Comment.
