Description of Proposal: • <br /> I am requesting a variance to be able to build a garage on the part of my lot facing Gloria circle <br /> (please see attached sketch of lot). The residence does currently have an attached single car <br /> garage. I am planing to turn this attached garage into a family room. Therefore I need to build a <br /> new garage. As explained to me by the building inspector, Mounds View zoning requires that <br /> garages be either adjacent to the residence or behind the residence, away from the street. <br /> However, as you can see on the sketch, my lot is a lake lot on Spring Lake and building a garage <br /> between the house and the lake would be undesirable. In addition, that part of the lot is <br /> inaccessible when considering the 7 feet setback rule and considering that the width of the lot is <br /> 90 feet while the house takes up 65 feet, thus not leaving enough space for a driveway to get to a <br /> garage facing the lake. <br /> Thus I am requesting that I be allowed to build a garage(24 by 26 in dimension) in the area <br /> indicated on the sketch. A garage in the location would not impede with traffic visibility and that <br /> part of my lot is certainly large enough to accommodate a garage with lots of room to spare. As <br /> you can see on the sketch, my lot is rather large(almost half an acre with the lot dimensions of 90 <br /> by 268) and a garage would not dominate that part of the lot. <br /> Thank you for considering my request for a variance. <br /> • <br /> • <br />
