J ohn J . Hegbl om
The Petition is for waiver of Section
3A.06 (3) si de setback for .75 of a foot off
the required 15 feet side setback
to a setback of 14.25 feet from
the west lot line to the corner of
the existing house at its closest
p oint to allow a permanent founda-
tion to be installed that conforms
to all zoning requirements.
The Petition was in order, consent had been obtained f rom all adjacent
p roperties. Mr. Hegblom was present and explained that when his existing
h ome was built one corner of the house adjacent to the west lot line was
placed approximately 9 inches closer to the line than allowed. The lot line
a ngles at this point and it appears that an error in placing the survey limits
occurred at that time.
The home is approximately 12 years oid and is constructed on a foundation with
a crawl space underneath (no full basement) . Mr. Hegblom proposes to dig out
under the present structure and install a full basement. However, he did not
w ant to do this if the structure did not conform in any manner. At a future
date, Mr. Hegblom plans to add a small room addition to the rear that would
c onform to all required setbacks.

Art Flannagan noted that this is a very small error at only the corner of the
existing home and does not appear to have any specific significance to any
a d,j acent properti es.
M ahlon Swedberg noted the changes in the lot configuration at this point and
said the installation of a full basement was not expanding any non-conforming
p orti on .
A rt Flannagan moved to approve the waiver as requested. Second by Herb
P olacheck and upon vote carried unanimously.

D aniel F. and Debbie K. Grossman
The Petition is for waiver af Section
3A.06 (1 ) front setback for 11 feet off the required
35 feet front setback to a distance of
24 feet from the front lot line to the
e xisting house at its closest point and
to allow a conforming room addition to
be added to the rear of the existing
s tructure.
The Petition was in order. Consent had been obtained from all adjacent property
owners, none of whom were present at the meeting.
M r. Grossman explained that the addition they propose is to the rear of the home
and conforms to all setbacks. However, in having a survey of the property done,
it revealed that the existing home is 24 feet from the front lot line.
It appears from City records that this home was one of the earlier dwellings
constructed in Golden Valley and possibly when Florida Avenue was installed,
some front footage was lost from this parcel to provide proper street alignment
and right-of-way.
M ahlon Swedberg said this is probably the least controversial request, noting
it is an existing home and that the proposed addition totally conforms and is
to the rear of the house.
The Board noted it would be an extreme hardship and expense to require that for
any addition 11 feet would have to be removed from the front of the existing
h ome.
M ahlon Swedberg moved to approve the waiver as requested. Second by Herb
Polacheck and upon vote carried unanimously.
