The <br />garage is currently located in Vadnais Heights, at 3191 Edgerton <br />Street, north of Interstate 694. <br />The subject property is zoned R -1, Single Family District and <br />private garages are a permitted accessory use in an R -1 zone. <br />The garage to be moved is 24' X 28'(672 square feet), is intended <br />to replace the existing 24' X 24' garage (576 square feet). The <br />existing garage is structurally unsound, especially the roof of <br />the building. The replacement garage is a wood frame structure, <br />which will be compatible with the other homes and garages in the <br />surrounding neighborhood. <br />Recommendation: <br />The existing concrete slab encroaches two and one -half (2 1 /2) <br />feet into the side yard setback. Whereas we are sympathetic <br />toward the intentions of the applicant to simply replace an <br />existing garage with a large garage, we do not feel that a <br />variance is justifiable in this case. We also feel however, that <br />a denial of the application is not necessary, given the following <br />alternatives are considered: <br />1. The concrete slab is altered by adding two and one -half (2 <br />1/2) feet of concrete to the north side of the existing <br />slab. The garage can be placed closer to the house, and <br />4601 excelsior blvd., ste. 410, minneapolis, mn 55416 (612) 925 -9420 <br />Page 39 <br />
