The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on <br /> August 18,2003 and recommended partial approval of the application,based on the <br /> following findin�s and conclusions: <br /> a) Appro�al of the setback variance to allo�v the new 996 s.f accessory building <br /> to be located 23.1'from the side street lot line is reasonable due to the wide <br /> unused 1�InDOT right-of-way adjoinin�the side street lot line,«•hich provides <br /> for additional sepazation of the accessory structure from the actual travelled <br /> roadway. <br /> b) There is no hardship.or justification presented to support the variance to <br /> allow the attachment ofthe new 996 s.fbuilding to the existing 848 s.f.garage <br /> via a 16�s.f. �eenhouse. The resultant building of just over 2000 s.f.in area <br /> would potenrially have negative visual impacts as viewed from Highway 12, <br /> and is not in keeping with the intent of the Oversize Accessory Structures <br /> ordinance which attempts to limit the bulk and massing of accessory strucures <br /> on properties based on the size of the property. <br /> c) Appro�•al of a variance to allow the proposed 900 s.f.pool to be located 15' <br /> (rather than the 10'setback proposed)from the side street lot line is reasonable <br /> given the width of the unused portion of adjacent MnDOT right-of-way,the <br /> fact that at the proposed location no nei�hboring property o�vners will be <br /> affected by the�zsual or activity impacts normally associated«•ith a pool use, <br /> and keeping in mind the 15' setback from an interior side lot line normally <br /> required for a.ccessory structures of 7�0-1000 s.f. in azea. <br /> d) The setback �•ariances should be approved only in conjunction with a <br /> requirement to establish and maintain a suitable year-round ve�etative buffer <br /> along the side street lot line to soften the visual impacts of the structures <br /> allowed to bz nearer the lot line than normally allowed. <br /> e) Approval of the request for a CUP for plumbing in an accessory structure to <br /> include toilet sink and shower is reasonable given the intended use of the 996 <br /> s.f. structure a;a pool house,and althou�h the property is less than 2.O�acres <br /> in area, the proposed use substantially meets the intent of the ordinance <br /> allowin�plumbing in accessory structures, as long as such use is subject to <br /> the standard CL�P conditions limiting its use for dwelling or home occupation <br /> uses. <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
