Applicant contacted the City some time prior to the 1991 construction of the shed and was advised that no building permit was necessary for a 100 s.f. shed. The City subsequently revised that policy but the applicant was not specifically advised of the change until the Inspections Department found a new shed on his property in 1992. B. The existing 100 s.f. shed is located partially within the right-of-way of Hillside Place and partially within the Dakota Rail property. C. The Planning Commission fmds that it is beyond the scope of the Ciry's authority to grant a variance to allow the shed to remain on the Dakota Rail property and Planning Commission further concludes it is inappropriate to allow the shed to remain on the Hillside Place right-of- way. D. The shed can be located within the property boundaries if variances are granted to allow a "0 setback" situation for the rear and left side property lines. Such location will preserve an existing tree located between such location and the existing house, and will further maintain the required 10' separation between the shed and the house. E. Hardcover in the 75-250' zone is 47% and will increase to 52% by relocating the shed into the property boundaries. There is no hardcover in the 75-250' zone that can reasonably be removed by applicant to mitigate this increase. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone attributable to the applicant is 19%. F. Lot coverage by structures including the shed will be 1,085 s.f. or 19.1% where only 15% is allowed. However, the code also allows small lots such as this to have lot coverage up to 1,500 s.f. including the house and garage. G. The shed is necessary for storage of applicant's property maintenance needs. Page 2 of 6 ��
