F Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. U R B A N P L A N N I N G • D E S I G N • M A R K E T R E S E A R C H MEMORANDUM TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: 9 January 1995 RE: Little Canada - Graf House Moving Conditional Use Permit FILE NO: 758.09 - 95.01 Jason and Tia Graf have applied for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a single family home on Lot 18 of Twin Lake Trail. The CUP is necessary to permit the moving of a structure on to the lot, to which an addition will be constructed. In addition to the completed structure, a future detached garage is shown on the site plan. All structures must meet the 30 foot front yard, 10 foot side yard, and 30 foot rear yard setbacks. The site plan indicates that setbacks can be met on the lot without variance. It should be noted that the 30 foot front yard setback is measured from the right -of -way of the street, not the edge of the pavement. All single family residences are required to meet a minimum floor area of at least 960 square feet on the first floor of one and one -half story houses and 800 square feet on one level for split level houses. The proposed house is 968 square feet on the main level, with additional space on the lower walkout level. As such, the proposed house meets the requirements of the Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance requires that all single family homes must be placed on lots in such a manner which allows a two car garage to be located on the lot. The site plan indicates such a garage as a "future" improvement. It meets all setbacks as required. The City's Ordinances do not require the construction of garages for single family homes, whether they are moved in to the City or built on site. 5775 Wayzata Blvd. • Suite 555 • St. Louis Park, MN 55416 • (612) 595- 9636•Fax. 595 -9837 Page 91
