<br />VIII-B-2 <br /> <br />M. Steven Haas Variance/Shoreland Variance -1009 3rd St E <br />City Council Memo - June 16 2003 <br />Page 1 <br /> <br />Memo <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />Mayor Werner and City Council <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Kris Jenson, Associate Planner <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />June 16,2003 <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />M. Steven Haas - Variance #2003-40 to vary from the required front <br />yard setback at 1009 3rd St E. <br /> <br />REQUEST <br /> <br />M. Steven Haas seeks to place a porch on the front of his home located at 1009 3rd Street <br />East. The home currently meets the required front yard setback. The applicant is seeking a <br />5' variance to the 20' front yard setback to construct a front porch. <br /> <br />This request involves 2 variances. Section 10.26 District Lot Regulations of the Zoning <br />Code states that all structures within an R-2 District have a minimum front yard setback of <br />20'. <br /> <br />The second variance is to the Shoreland Ordinance. Section 16.05, Subd. 2.1 Placement, <br />Design, and Height of Structures (B) Additional Structure Setbacks (4 ) states that <br />structures must be setback 20 feet from the right-of-way line public streets. The Shoreland <br />Ordinance requires a public hearing for any variance request. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Denial of the request is recommended. Staff does not feel the applicant has demonstrated <br />sufficient hardship to warrant approval of the variances. A resolution for denial of the <br />variances is attached. <br /> <br />The existing home currently meets all required setbacks. If the variance is approved and <br />the porch constructed, the home will become a legal non-conforming structure. Any future <br />proposed additions to the home would require a variance prior to construction. <br /> <br />"."- r <br /> <br />. ..,.." "~.. ." " <br />
