1 • • AGENDA ITEM 5B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul F. Bengtson P & Z MEETING DATE: January 12, 2005 TOPIC: Variance to allow a 1.2 -foot side yard setback for a detached accessory structure (garage) where 5.0 feet is required. Kenneth Muehlstedt 2221 Reiling Road BACKGROUND According to city records, a building permit was issued for a 26 -foot by 30 -foot (780 square foot) detached accessory structure (garage) for the subject property on April 21, 1987. At some point the property owner built a 10 -foot by 30 -foot (300 square foot) addition to the rear of the garage without obtaining the proper building permits from the city. The city received, as part of a building permit application for the adjacent property to the west, a certificate of survey from Kurth Surveying, that depicted the addition as being within the five foot setback area as required in the R -X (Rural Executive) zoning district. On April 23, 2004 the City of Lino Lake's Building Department contacted the resident at 2221 Reiling Road in regards to the certificate of survey submitted for the construction of a single family dwelling at 2215 Reiling Road. This survey depicted a portion of the existing detached accessory structure (garage) setback 1.2 feet from the side property line. The resident was informed that the structure would either need to be made to meet the 5.0 feet setback, and if it were to remain in any way, the resident would need to obtain a building permit. The City of Lino Lake's Building Department again contacted the resident at 2221 Reiling Road on September 17, 2004 to reiterate the options for the existing detached accessory structure (garage). On November 24, 2004 the Community Development Department received an application for this Variance request to allow a 1.2 -foot side setback for a detached accessory structure (garage) where 5.0 feet is the minimum required by the zoning ordinance.
