length, not allowing adequate space for parking an average sized vehicle. The applicants have stated short term parking would be located along the north side of the driveway and along the alley or Dickenson Street. It should be noted the streets are actually further from the house than they appear on the survey. The parking would not occur on the Streets, but in a similar location as is currently used by the owners. Lot History: In 1991 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2982 to permit the construction of a deck within required side yard, street yard, and back yard setbacks and to allow 22% lot coverage by structures with the condition that the applicant is advised that future proposals to increase lot coverage by structures on this property will not be looked upon favorably by the Council. (Resolution No. 2982 is included as Exhibit F.) In 1996 the previous property owners expressed interest in purchasing the vacant lot across the all^y from 500 Hanlon Avenue for the possibility of constructing a garage in the future. The vacant lot was owned in common with the applicant's lot, but went tax forfeit a number of years ago, and is only for sale to adjacent property owners. When sewer was brought into the area the assessment was split equally between the applicant's property and the lot across the alley. As a result of going tax forfeit the $3,350 assessment has not been recovered by the City. In 1996 the previous property owners requested the City Council waive any interest or penalties on the assessment and collect only the principle amount of $3,350 on the vacant lot, with the condition that the tax forfeit parcel be legally combined with the 500 Hanlon Avenue parcel. The Council did agree to collect only the principle amount of the sewer assessment, however, the owners did not purchase and join the lot.________________________________ Pertinent Ordinances: Section 10.28, Subd. 5(B): RR-IB One Family Rural Residential District (2 Acres) Section 10.03, Subd. 14(C): Lot Coverage U24I5 Paul and Megan Bennett 500 Hanlon Avenue Vanances 9/22 93 Page 2
