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.

If the vacation was approved, one condition would be that the Ciry retain a drainage and utility
easement over the entire right-of-way for future (as yet unknown) uses. You would not be
allowed to build or overhang onto the vacated right-of-way. There are no Ciry sewer and water
lines in the right-of-way but we have no knowledge of other utilities.
I am enclosing a variance application and an application for vacation. If you have any questions
on any of the above, please feel free to contact me at 473-7357.
Sincerely,
