Planning & Zoning Board August 9, 2017 Page 8 APPROVED MINUTES B. 6602 Pheasant Run-Variance Amendment Ms. Larsen presented the staff report. Staff recommended approval of amending the findings of Facts and Resolution No. 15-119. On October 14, 2015, the Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval of a 10 foot variance to allow the property owner, Dylan Lindman, to construct an attached garage 30 feet from the lot line along CSAH 34/Birch Street. The required setback is 40 feet. On October 26, 2015, the City Council passed Resolution No. 15-119 approving a 12 foot variance to allow for the construction of an attached garage 28 feet from the lot line. The property owner requested the additional 2 feet. Per Resolution No. 15-119: NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by The City Council of The City of Lino Lakes hereby approves of a 12 foot variance to reduce the required setback from 40 feet to 28 feet along Birch Street to allow for the construction of an attached double garage at 6602 Pheasant Run, subject to the following conditions: 1. The detached shed in the northeast corner of the lot, found in violation of city ordinances, shall be relocated onto the applicant’s property. 2. The accessory structure shall meet the requirements of §1007.043 General Building and Use Provisions. 3. The accessory structure shall meet all other city code and state building code requirements. 4. A building permit shall be submitted for by the applicant and approved by the City of Lino Lakes prior to construction. The property owner thought the variance applied to both the attached double garage and detached shed. He relocated the detached shed onto the property 28 feet from the south lot line to line up with attached garage. Technically, the resolution only allowed for a setback variance for the attached double garage, not the detached shed. The detached shed should be 40 feet from the south lot line and 5 feet from the rear lot line. The property owner does not want to relocate the detached shed again and is requesting the variance to include the detached shed. Staff addressed questions of the Board. Mr. Stoesz asked if there needs to be approval to put up an accessory structure. Ms. Larsen stated that if the structure is under 200 square feet, a zoning permit is required. If the structure is over 200 square feet, a building permit is required. Mr. Lindman stated that the shed is 26.8 feet from property line.
