Mounds View Planning Commission October 5, 2016 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />developable area of the lot. Planner Sevald outlined the developable area on the survey, and <br />reviewed it with the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson expressed concern with losing the trees as a buffer to County Road 10, and the <br />current 54’ front yard setback, stating that the builder had indicated that no matter what, he could <br />still build. <br /> <br />Planner Sevald stated that the current lot is developable, but that the size of a house would be <br />reduced. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson stated that the applicant explained previously how a home could be built within <br />the reduced setback area, and expressed concern that this would be a rental unit, and was <br />concerned that the treed buffer area would go away. He reviewed the size of the proposed home. <br /> <br />Commissioner Love asked if the proposed home would be two levels. <br /> <br />Erik Ollestad, Value Homes, LLC, discussed the home he was proposing to build on the property <br />at 7790 Eastwood Road. He commented on the trees that would be lost. Mr. Ollestad questioned <br />Commissioner Klebsch what was the goal of being against the variance. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked what is the footprint of the proposed home. <br /> <br />Mr. Ollestad referenced Commissioner Klebsch’s previously stated concern that the variance <br />does not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Mr. Ollestad displayed a photograph <br />of a home in Blaine, similar to the one proposed to be built, stating that the house would be in- <br />line with the 54’ setback, but the attached garage would stick out in front of neighboring homes. <br />Mr. Ollestad then displayed photos of the interior of the home. <br /> <br />Mr. Ollestad displayed drawings of an alternative home plan that could fit on the lot without a <br />variance, and described its appearance as not being in sync with the neighborhood. Mr. Ollestad <br />stated that the proposed home if granted a variance, did go with the characteristics of the <br />neighborhood. He stated something is going to be built, and preferred to build the propose <br />home. <br /> <br />Commissioner Schiltgen questioned if the private easement has been discussed between the <br />property owner and the adjacent property. Mr. Ollestad reviewed conversations between himself <br />and City Staff regarding reducing or revoking the easement. Commissioner Schiltgen questioned <br />if the adjacent owners had discussed a price. Mr. Ollestad responded, no, and that it was difficult <br />to communicate with the owners. Mr. Ollestad did not anticipate this issue would be resolved <br />with the adjacent property owner. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson commented about the amount of trees in the easement area, and that the trees <br />would serve as a buffer between the house and the apartments. <br /> <br /> <br />
