Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) FUMMARY; The Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed and denied the request for the variance of Mr. Chuck Cook, representing Continental Development, at their regularly scheduled meeting of March 6, 1991. Pursuant to City Codes, Mr. Cook has elected to exercise his right of appeal. A copy of the letter of appeal is attached. Mr. Chuck Cook has requested a variance to allow the construction of a single family home at 2673 Sherwood Road, legally known as Lot 16, Block 1, Red Oak Park,with a front yard setback of 30 feet where a 58 foot setback is required by a previous planning action. In the Fall of 1986, Mr. Cook received approval of a major subdivision for what is currently Red Oak Park. At Ipthe time of approval for that plat, stipulations covering setback requirements for certain lots within the subdivision were included in City Council Resolution No. 2120. Specifically, Lot 16 was to have a front yard setback of 58 feet. This stipulation was intended to keep a principal structure located on the property in line with three (3) homes to the immediate east of the subject property which all had front yard setbacks of approximately 58 feet. In addition to the aforementioned front yard setback requirement, a 25 foot drainage easement is located along the eastern property line. This easement, along with the required building setback on the west property line, severely limit the width of the buildable area on the lot. As a result of these limitations, the location of a home on the property with an orientation towards Sherwood Road becomes quite difficult.
