Mounds View Planning Commission May 2, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller asked if there would be windows on the north side of the addition. <br /> <br />Mr. Harsch explained he had decided not to place windows on the north side to help with privacy <br />for his neighbor to the north. He explained that the reason the window in front was offset from <br />center was because of the design for the master bedroom closet. He then noted the window was <br />moved to make it look better from the outside which meant the closet had to be redesigned to a <br />smaller size. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kaden asked whether the addition extended over the garage <br /> <br />Mr. Harsch indicated the addition is cantilevered one and a half (1 ½) feet in the front and four <br />(4) feet out the back. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland asked what the current square footage of the home was. <br /> <br />Mr. Harsch indicated the current square footage was 2400 square feet. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn asked Mr. Harsch’s builder if it would be possible to use some of the new <br />structural materials available to support the addition and keep it in line with the ten (10) foot <br />setback. <br /> <br />The builder indicated that a large girder truss is necessary to support the addition which would <br />make a portion of the garage unusable. <br /> <br />Chairperson Stevenson closed the public hearing at 7:21 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Cerny/Zwirn. To Approve Resolution 654-01, a Resolution Approving a <br />Variance to Allow for an Eight Foot Setback for a Living Space Addition at 5148 Rainbow Lane. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller noted there was no language in the Resolution requiring the applicant to <br />apply for a building permit and conform to the uniform building code and asked that the <br />language be added. <br /> <br />Director Ericson added the requested language to the Resolution. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 8 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />______________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6. Planning Case No. VR01-004 <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson noted this is a variance request from Clifford Bratz to <br />reconstruct a three-season porch addition. He noted the porch was destroyed last winter due to <br />snow accumulation that crushed it. He then noted that when Mr. Bratz applied for a building <br />permit it was determined that he did not meet the front setback requirement. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller questioned whether a corner property had two front yards per City code.
