k Requirements
. 1.5 ft. off the required 12.5 ft. to a distance of 11 ft. at its closest
point to the side yard (south) property line.
To allow for the construction of a garage with living space above.
Hogeboom referred to a survey of the property and explained that the applicant is
proposing to build a new two-stall garage with living space above. He stated that the
proposed garage would encroach into the front and side yard setback areas. He stated
that the hardships noted by the applicant are the lack of a two car garage and thefts
from cars occurring in her neighborhood. He added that no other variances have been
granted for this property in the past.
Segelbaum questioned if the thefts in the area could be considered a hardship.
Hogeboom stated that the single stall garage is the main hardship in this case but that

the thefts add to the hardship. He showed the board a police report he pulled for this
property.
Segelbaum noted that the topography on the lot is also listed as a hardship on the
application. Hogeboom stated that the topography on the lot is another reason the
applicant is proposing to place the garage in the location shown.
Cheryl Wahlin, Applicant, stated that she doesn't want to focus on the th
reason for the variances requested is because she wants a two-stall

Morrissey stated she is concerned that if the proposed new garage were to be pushed
back into the existing garage area it would render the balance of the existing garage
unusable and not very functional. She said it would be helpful to her if the Board could

Mark Williams, friend of the applicant, said that he's been helping Wahlin with her
proposed project. He stated that they had discussed sliding the proposed garage
further back on the lot but it causes problems with the layout of the dining room. He
agreed that having drawings of the proposed addition would help.
Wahlin said she is in a "catch 22" because she doesn't want to have architectural
drawings made until she knows she has a variance. Morrissey stated that the applicant
should be able to find an architect that can propose solutions that maybe n't require
variances.

130 Louisiana Avenue North
Robert and MaryAnn Cook, Applicants
To:
From:
Subject:
Robert and MaryAnn Clark are the owners of the property located at 130 Louisiana Avenue
North. Mr. and Ms. Cook are requesting a variance to City Code to construct a proposed
enclosed sun porch and an adjoining deck. The proposed addition would encroach into the
rear yard setback of the property.
According to the Clarks' Zoning Code Variance Application, the existing deck (on which the
proposed sun porch would be built) was constructed in the rear yard setback. The applicant
explains that the existing deck is already located within the rear yard setback due to the
configuration of the lot, and that any additions would also have to be built into the setback
area.
The proposed project requires a variance from the following section of City Code:
. Section 11.21, Subd. 10(A)(2) Rear Yard Setback Requirements.
The City's Zoning Code states that rear yard setbacks in the Single Family (R1) Zoning District
must be at least 20 percent of the entire lot depth (25 feet, in this case.) Mr. and Ms. Cook are
requesting 14.1 feet off the required 25 feet to a distance of 10.9 feet at its closest point to the
rear (east) yard property line to allow for the construction of a sun porch and deck.
No prior variances from City Code were found for this property.
