REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF THREE FEET FROM THE REQUIRED FIVE FOOT SIDEYARD
SETBACK FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A UTILITY SHED AT FALCON HEIGHTS UNITED
CHURCH OF CHRIST, 1795 HOLTON STREET. CHAPTER 9-2.04 SUBD. 1(c)
Administrator Hoyt explained that a variance was being requested to construct a shed in
what is technically the sideyard of the church although it appears to be the rear yard
because the zoning code defines the front yard as the yard with the address. Therefore, the
sideyard setback must be 5 feet from the lot line. (The rear yard setback requirement is one
.foot from the property line.) The only location available for a utility shed is to the rear of the
building, this is the sideyard. Mr. Warren West, business manager, and Bob Olson
represented the church.
After discussing the request, Commissioner Kuettel moved and Commissioner Struck
seconded the resolution approving a variance of three feet in the sideyard setback for the
construction of a utility shed pending removal of the existing shed. Motion passed
unanimously.
REVIEW OF THE 1997 5 YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Administrator Hoyt reviewed the high points of the capital improvement program for the
commission with special attention to the reconstruction of Larpenteur Avenue, which was
included in 1997, 1998 and 1999. The commissioners asked questions about various
projects.
UPDATE ON PLANNING ACTIVITIES
Administrator Hoyt updated the commission on upcoming activities including the CUP
application for a poolhall in Northome Shopping Center, the antenna moratorium and the
comprehensive plan amendments.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:05 p.m.
• Respectfully submitted.
