Good idea. We will proceed that way. <br /> Kathy <br /> Sent from my iPad <br /> On Jun 8, 2012, at 1:00 PM, Mike Gaffron<MGaffron(a�ci.orono.mn.us> wrote: <br /> Kathy- <br /> The proposed hardcover regulations have not yet been adopted, as you are aware. They will be the <br /> subject of a public hearing at the June 18 Planning Commission meeting. Assuming a favorable reaction, <br /> they would then go to the City Council for action on July 9. If adopted they would become effective <br /> upon publication, probably near the end of July at best. <br /> You should be forewarned that the property at 2789 Pheasant Road would appear to require a lot width <br /> variance in order for a rebuild to occur. Zoning Code Section 78-72(b)(1)establishes buildability for a <br /> record lot meeting 80%of the lot area and width standards of the zoning district,which in the case of <br /> 2789 Pheasant is LR-1B requiring 80%of 1.00 acres and 140' width. According to Hennepin County tax <br /> records the lot area is 1.06 acres but per the attached plat map, is only 100 feet in width or 71%of the <br /> required 140'. As you can see, it is the narrowest lakeshore lot in the neighborhood. <br /> I see no reason why a width variance would not be granted. The next deadline for zoning applications is <br /> noon on Wednesday June 20 for the July 16 Planning Commission meeting, with potential action by <br /> Council on August 13. It might be safest to apply for the width variance and hardcover variance, then <br /> withdraw the hardcover variance if the new regulations making it unnecessary become effective in time. <br /> Mike <br /> Michael P.Gaffron <br /> Assistant City Administrator/Long Term Strategy <br /> 1 <br />
