Setback for Lot 6, Block 1. After approval of the StoneBay project, we realized <br /> that we had erroneously shown a 19.6-foot setback from the north property line <br /> for Lot 6 (0.4 feet less than the 20-foot approved setback). Due to the way the <br /> lots were dimensioned on the plat, we did not realize our error until the lot <br /> certificate for Lots 5 and 6, Block 1 were recently completed. It was certainly not <br /> our intention to knowingly thwa►t the approved plans, but was simply an <br /> oversight in the many iterations of the plan during the approval process. We are <br /> not able to shift the buildings without replatting the project. The homes to the <br /> north are 200-300 feet from the planned building; therefore, the change to the <br /> plan (less than 5-inches) would not be distinguishable from the adjoining <br /> properties. <br /> The modification to the PUD setback would have no impact on adjacent <br /> properties because the approve setback for other portions of the site allowed a <br /> 10-foot setback from this lot line. The adjacent building (on Lots 7 and 8) to east <br /> was approved with a 10-foot setback from the north plat boundary and the only <br /> difference is that the adjacent building is 10 feet from the rear of the building and <br /> we are requesting flexibility to allow a 19.6-foot side yard setback. We believe <br /> this is consistent with the StoneBay PUD approvals and the project design. � <br /> If we are required to replat the property, it will result is significant delays for the <br /> residents ready to begin construction of their new homes on Lots 5 and 6, which <br /> are the only lots affected by this issue. We hope that you will use the City's <br /> discretionary authority to approve this modification to the PUD. <br /> fi��� 3UTLF.R NORTht 3U!�DING 510 F1RST AVEMUE NORTFI MINNE.APOL.'��.5, P.1N 55403 <br /> 0�=('ICE: o_-'..252,fi070 i=AX: 612,252_9077 vdvvw.landferin,net <br />
