Svendsen: Zoning Variance, 10920 32°d Street The City Council tabled this variance application regarding street setback of a proposed replacement garage structure on November 19, 2002 to allow the applicant an opportunity to revisit his plan, and reduce the degree of variance to some degree. Mr. Svendsen requested the matter be deferred to a January date. Mr. Svendsen submitted a modified proposal for the location of the proposed garage that differs from that proposed on November 19 as follows: 1. The minimum would be set back from the 32"d Street ROW line a maximum of approximately 9 feet and a minimum of approximately 8 feet — in both cases approximately twice the setback previously proposed. The zoning ordinance setback for the R-1 district is 30 feet. 2. The applicant proposes to grade off the embankment west of the proposed structure to an unspecified degree to increase site distance to/from vehicles traveling eastbound on 32nd Street North. The Council thanked Mr. Svendsen for modifying his application in keeping with the Council's suggestion. M/S/P Dunn/Johnston — to adopt Resolution No. 2003-005, approving a variance from R- 1 street (Front) setback standards of the R-1 zoning district at 10920 32°d Street North to allow construction of a detached garage structure at a setback minimum of 8 feet from the street right-of-way line where a 30 foot setback is required. (Motion passed 5-0.) D. Tax Forfeit Land Washington County has provided the city with a list of tax parcels classified "Tax Forfeit". State Law requires the County to inquire of the "hoist" City of tax forfeit parcels as to the preferred disposition of those parcels.
