Mounds View Planning Commission April 2, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Mr. Zinser indicated the cost for doing so would be approximately $10,000 to $15,000. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller commented that $75,000 seems like a lot to move a structure 11 feet. <br /> <br />Mr. Zinser explained that because the entire thing is made of concrete all of the existing concrete <br />has to be removed and he has to start completely over so the costs include removal, disposal, and <br />redoing it in the right location. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland asked for an estimate on the costs to construct the home not including <br />the lot. <br /> <br />Mr. Zinser said he estimates the home to cost approximately $340,000. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson indicated he has an issue with granting a variance to the 1800 square feet <br />of garage space but would be okay with granting the variance for the setback. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson indicated the homeowners have agreed to convert the extra garage space to <br />living space eliminating the need for a variance on that matter. <br /> <br />Director Ericson agreed that the issues with the garage are removed if the space is used for living <br />space. He then said that he would revise the Resolution to indicate that the garage square <br />footage would need to be brought into compliance. <br /> <br />Bob Moore of 7777 Long Lake Road indicated he thinks it looks bad to have the structure <br />forward of the other homes. <br /> <br />Don Rossbach of 7740 Long Lake Road indicated that the home seemed close to the property <br />lines and asked whether the side setbacks were met. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson indicated that the side setbacks are met. <br /> <br />Mr. Rossbach said he feels that $75,000 seems high for moving the structure back and said that <br />the house sticks out and it detracts from the look of the street. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked how far back the homes are. <br /> <br />A Resident indicated that the homes are 48 to 50 feet back. <br /> <br />Terry Hiye of 7750 Long Lake Road commented that it seems the developer would need to <br />change the doors on the garage to convert to living space due to the way it is oriented. He then <br />said that he is surprised that City Staff did not notice this before things got this far along in the <br />process as it is clear that the home sticks out beyond the others on the street. <br /> <br />Scott Davis, the property owner of 7741 Long Lake Road, indicated that the home has a <br />wraparound porch eliminating the need to change the garage doors.
