Tabatha and Rich Patterson, Applicants

From:
Subject:
Tabatha and Rich Patterson are the owners of the property located at 7850 Olympia Street. Mr.
and Mrs. Patterson are proposing to construct a deck onto the front of their home. The proposed
deck would encroach into the front yard setback'i>f the property. The Pattersons did begin the
construction without a building permit and the work was stopped by one of the building
inspectors. When Mrs. Patterson came in to the City about the work being stopped, it as
discovered that the deck location did not meet setback requirements in addition to building code
requirements. The variance requests are to allow for the completion of the deck and to bring the
existing garage and screened porch into conformity with City Code requirements. I have viewed
this property and have attached photos of the site.
As detailed in the Patterson's Zoning Code Variance Application, the hardship with this property
is that the front door to the house is four feet off of the ground, making a deck-type entrance
necessary. Also, the previous deck was in disrepair and a new structure would enhance the
appearance and safety of the home.
The existing garage (built by previous owners) is in violation of City Code due to its proximity to
the principal structure. In addition, an attached screened porch (also built by previous owners) is
in violation of side yard setback requirements. This porch was built without a building permit.
Variances are needed to bring these two structures into conformity with the City's Zoning Code.
The proposed project requires variances from the following section of City Code:
Section 11.21, Subd. 10(A)(1) Front Yard Setback Requirements. The City's Zoning Code
states that front yard setbacks in the R-1 Zoning District shall be at least 35 feet from any front
property line along a street right-of-way line. The proposed deck requires a variance of 8 feet off
the required 35 feet to a distance of 27 feet at its closest point to the front yard (south) property
line.
Section 11.21, Subd. 10(A)(3)(a) Side Yard Setback Requirements. The City's Zoning Code
states that side yard setbacks in the R-1 Zoning District, in the case of lots having a width of 100
feet or greater, shall be 15 feet from the property line. The existing screened porch requires a
variance of 8 feet off the required 15 feet to a distance of 7 feet at its closest point to the side
yard (east) property line.
.
.
.
Section 11.21, Subd. 11 (A)(1) Front Detached Accessory Structure Location. The City's
Zoning Code states that a detached accessory structure shall be located completely to the rear
of the principal structure, unless it is built with frost footings. The existing garage requires a
variance to bring the structure into conformity with City Code.
No prior variances have been obtained for this property.
