• Mounds View Planning Commission July 7, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 12 Commissioner Hegland stated that he thought they should go ahead with the approval. He noted that Item 5 of the resolution should be re-worded. Ericson stated that staff could amend Item 5 to indicate that the variance requested is the minimum variance that would alleviate the hardship, and that the Planning Commission finds that an eleven-foot setback would accomplish this. He stated that the second paragraph of the second page of the Resolution should be amended to indicate "...for the construction of a 672 square-foot garage eleven feet from the property line," as well. Commissioner Miller requested a correction to the first page of the Resolution, first paragraph, to indicate "a garage eleven feet from their east side lot line..." Chair Peterson stated that Item 7 contained a reference to fifteen feet. He stated the distance from the garage to the house would be ten feet wide and would not conflict with the fire code, which would normally require a six-foot distance. MOTION/SECOND: HeglandBraathen.
