REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION <br /> • <br /> Meeting Date: April 7, 1999 <br /> Staff Report by: James Ericson, Planning Associate <br /> Planning Case No.: 550-99 <br /> Applicant: Don Norris <br /> Request: The applicant is requesting a reduced side yard setback to allow for an <br /> expansion of living space in conjunction with the construction of a new <br /> attached garage. <br /> Location: 5302 Raymond Avenue <br /> PIN No. 08-30-23-14-0012 <br /> Zoning/Land Use: R-2, Single- and Two-Family Residential/Twin home <br /> Applicable Regulations: <br /> • Section 1104.01, Subd. 3, regarding Setbacks: All principal structures shall have a <br /> setback from sideyard lot lines of at least ten feet. An attached garage may have a five <br /> foot setback. <br /> Section 1125.02, Subd. 2 outlines the criteria to be used by the Planning Commission in its <br /> review of variances. <br /> Attachments: Planning Application <br /> Zoning Map <br /> Site Plan <br /> Background: <br /> The applicant, Don Norris, is requesting a variance from the required ten-foot side yard setback <br /> established for principal buildings and living space therein. He plans on constructing an attached, <br /> 16-foot wide garage to his twinhome, located at 5302 Raymond Avenue. (He owns both sides, <br /> renting out the other unit.) In conjunction with this construction, he would like to add a two-story <br /> living space behind the garage, which would maintain the same proposed setback--five feet--as the <br /> proposed garage. Currently there is no garage present, and the square footage for his half of the <br /> twinhome is about 540 square feet. The garage expansion, which would be allowed <br /> unconditionally, is proposed at 368 square feet. <br /> • <br />
