Ordinance 941, First Reading and Introduction of an Amendment to the <br />Mounds View City Code, Section 1104.01 related to the Setback of Front <br />Porches. <br /> <br />City Planner/Supervisor Sevald requested the Council introduce an Ordinance that would amend <br />City Code Section 1104.04 related to the setback of front porches. He explained front porches <br />were becoming increasingly more popular and residents were requesting to build into the front <br />yard setback. He stated a variance could be pursued by homeowners but noted it would be <br />difficult to justify the practical difficulty. For this reason, staff was recommending the City <br />Council amend City Code to allow front porches to encroach up to six feet into the front yard <br />setback. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller asked if the City had any front porch requests under consideration at this time. <br />City Planner/Supervisor Sevald stated the City did not have any requests at this time, but would <br />have one to consider shortly after the Ordinance was approved. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Meehlhause.
