RE: Building Permit Application
Dear Mr. Nelson:
On May 1 , 1990 , this office received a building permit
application for a garage, deck and septic system that was
proposed for your property. On May 16 , 1990 , the Zoning,
Building and Septic Code reviews were completed.
The contractor has informed me that this project is not
proceeding and that revised plans may be submitted. This letter
is to inform you that since the reviews have been completed, you
are liable for the plan review fee of $70.20. Please submit this
fee within two (2) weeks. If you have any questions, please feel
free to contact me at my office.
Sincerely,
Lyle Oman

RE: 740 South Willow Drive, Nelson Residence
Dear Mr. Roeglin:
The Building and Zoning Department is in receipt of your
application for a building permit, which was received by this
office on May 1, 1990. A review of the proposal finds certain
zoning code issues which require revision to your plan, in order
for a permit to be issued.
Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 12 reads as
follows:
Subdivision 12. Crowding Principal Building. No accessory
building or structure, unless an integral part of the
principal building, shall be erected, altered or moved
within 10' of the principal building, nor within 10' of
another accessory structure.
Your proposed entryway addition and detached garage are proposed
to be 4' apart. A 10' separation is required.
Simply moving the garage 6' further away from the house would
leave a setback of only 7' from the garage to the lot line, where
a 10' side setback is required. Moving the garage 6' south and
about 16' forward parallel with the house, would eliminate the
side setback encroachment, but would place the detached structure
in front of the front line of the house, requiring a variance to
another zoning code standard which allows no accessory structures
between the street and the front line of the house.
Angling of the garage away from the house by pivoting it at the
northwest corner, still yields a side setback encroachment if the
10 ' garage to entryway setback is maintained.
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson's had applied for and received a variance in
1988 to construct an attached garage that would be 21' from the
side lot line, where an attached garage would normally have to be
30' from the line. That variance expired in May of 1989. To do
the plan as approved at that time would require a variance
renewal application.

I will reiterate that the following requirements apply to a
detached garage:
1) must be at least 10 ' from any other structures.
2 ) must be at least 10 ' from the side lot line.
3) must be at least 3 ' from the well.
4 ) must be no closer to the street lot line than the
existing house.
The standards for an attached garage at this location are
significantly different:
1 ) 30 ' side setback required.
2) 3 ' setback from the well.
3 ) 50 ' setback from front and rear lot lines.
In either case, no structure, driveways or sidewalks, etc. are
allowed within 20 ' of a septic system drain field.
The septic system information you submitted is somewhat
confusing. The report from Mark Gronberg dated March 29, 1990
suggests that you intend to install the septic system designed in
1989 which crosses the existing driveway and which is not as good
a site as that which was tested in 1984. Then, the septic site
plan submitted indicates you propose to use the 1984 site. From
your Phase I and II site plans, and your proposed garage at the
south side of the house, I can only surmise that you intend to
not significantly change the driveways.
I would note that your building permit application proposes
installation of the new septic system. The septic system permit
application is a separate permit form, and must be submitted by a
licensed septic system contractor. A licensed contractor must
obtain the septic system permit and install the system. The City
has a list of licensed contractors available.
I would recommend that you and the property owners make an
appointment to meet with me to discuss the options for your
proposed improvements. Please feel free to contact me at 473-
7357 to make an appointment or discuss this matter,
Sincerely,
Michael P. Gaffro
