They had requested a <br />variance to locate a new home within the 30 foot setback area <br />north of the house at 475 Viking Drive. This variance was denied <br />due to a finding that a true hardship did not exist on the <br />parcel. Since that time, the Brausens have purchased the lot and <br />house at 475 Viking. They are now requesting to resubdivide the <br />two parcels to move the lot line separating the two building <br />sites twenty feet closer to the existing house to the south. <br />ANALYSIS <br />This solution provides an excellent alternative to the situation <br />and previous variance request. The new home will meet the 30 <br />foot setback requirement and the 475 Viking Drive parcel will <br />still greatly exceed Ordinance requirements. The resulting <br />parcel will be approximately 19,285 square feet in area with a <br />new rear setback of over 60 feet. We recommend approval of the <br />Brausen resubdivision subject to a new survey of the property <br />being drawn showing the new dimensions. <br />cc: Kathy Glanzer <br />John Palacio <br />Tom Sweeney <br />John and Carol Brausen <br />5775 Wayzata Blvd. • Suite 555 • St. Louis Park, MN 55416 • (612) 595- 9636•Fax. 595 -9837 <br />Page 13 <br />
