LA24-000043,ARCHOS ARCHITECTURE&DESIGN PA, 1760 SHADYWOOD RD, <br /> VARIANCES,PUBLIC HEARING <br /> The Planning Commission is requested to review the Staff report,receive a presentation,and discuss the <br /> request for variances to build an attached garage and second story addition, eliminating a separate garage <br /> and resulting in a reduction of hardcover. Staff recommended approving some aspects of the plan but <br /> asking the applicant to redesign the second story to eliminate the need for a set-back variance. <br /> The Planning Commission discussed the item and asked questions of staff and the applicant,Mike <br /> Eckardt,Archos Architecture, St Paul. <br /> Chair Bollis opened the public hearing at 6:18 p.m. <br /> Gretchen Shaw, 1750 Shadywood Rd., expressed support for the removal of the existing garage and the <br /> proposed new home addition but advocated for re-designing to respect the set-back. She asked for <br /> notification regarding demolition since their home is so close. <br /> Chair Bollis closed the public hearing at 6:20 p.m. <br /> Commissioners said overall it looked like the City would be improving its position and adding a second <br /> story would be reasonable because of the small lot. Several said they supported building on the existing <br /> footprint,not increasing the structural coverage. Other Commissioners said they were not in support of <br /> the application and the applicant should come back with another plan. It was clarified that although the <br /> request was for a remodel, approval would give the applicant the right to remove the structure and start <br /> over if necessary. The applicant said there is no plan to completely demolish the house and remove the <br /> foundation as it was determined the foundation was in good shape and could support the second story. It <br /> was stated that pulling the new second story in two feet would be very expensive from a design and <br /> structural position and may look odd. <br /> Ressler moved,Kraemer seconded,to approve LA24-000043, 1760 Shadywood Rd.,Variances. <br /> VOTE: Ayes: 4,Nays 2 (Libby and Erickson) <br /> 5.3.
