Box 66 Orono, MN 55356 Crystal eay, MN 55323-0066 June 16, 1994 Ed Garlock ll79 Elmwood Avenue Mound, MN 55364 Dear Mr. Garlock: This letter is to follow-up our conversation regarding your hope to install a garage on Lot 18, Skarp and Lindquist's Fernhill. It is our understanding that this is a separate tax parcel, as is your lakeshore Lot 9. In order to construct any building on Lot 18 will require a variance to Section 10.03, Subd. 9 (A), which prohibits placing an accessory structure on a parcel that doesn't contain a principal structure. If you were to apply for and be granted such a variance, a probable condition would be that you execute a. "special lot combination agreement" resolution, which would not allow separation of Lot 18 from your remaining lots without Ciry approval. If ihe variance was granted to allow you to place a �arage on Lot 18, it would have to be 10' from the side lot lines, 30' from the street and rear lot lines, and no larger than 750 s.f. footprint. It would also have to meet the hardcover and lot coverage requirements as applied to your entire property. Any of these standards you could not meet would result in the need to apply for a separate variance. Such variances could only be aranted if you demonstrate adequate hardships justifying the variance to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission and Council. As part of any application you make, you will have to provide an updated survey showing all structures and hardcover on your entire property. An application for the vacation of "Grandview Avenue" would be separate from the variance applications noted above. Due to the narrow nature of the platted right-of-way and the fact that it leads to a property to the east, the City would likely not proceed with a vacation of just the south half of it, since leaving a 10' corridor would be useless for any reasonable purpose. As a minimum, the property owner to the east would have to join you in any petition for vacation, and it would be helpful to have the property owner to the north also involved. Although the property owner to the east would not gain property by the vacation, they would lose a potential access to their property and therefore must be included in the request for vacation.
