-3- 1 wide home on the existing 47 X 156' foot lot located at 2608 33rd .Avenue N.E. The • 2 proposed structure would have an eight foot east setback and five foot setback 3 on- the west, as negotiated with--th.e. neighbors on those sides. . 4 5-Chair Zawislak read .the notice of hearing which had been mailed.to all property 6 owners of record within 250 -feet of the subject property. No one present indicated 7 failure to receive the notice or objected to its content. 8 9 The Manager had, in his October 12th memorandum, addressed the Anderson proposal 10 which had been given conceptual approval by the Commission during their September 11 18th meeting and had indicated that he perceived, because the lot is narrow, a 12 case could be made for a hardship based on topographic or size characteristics. 13 A call from the neighbor east of Mr. Anderson's property had prompted the Manager 14 to recommend the proposed house be sited closer to the west than the east lot line 15 where it would probably not interfere with Hertog's plans for redeveloping their 16 storm damaged property. 17 18 Mr. Anderson was present and indicated he had met with both Mrs—Taylor, 2700 - 19 33rd Avenue N.E. and John Hertog and had come to the same conclusion as the 20 Manager, that an 8 and 5 foot split to the east and west, respectively, would 21 work out best for all concerned and would not interfere with his own plans for 22 the property. 23 24 Mr. Anderson told Commissioner Jones he estimated the Taylor house itself to be 23 the normal 7-1/2 feet from the property line but the porch addition, for which 26 there must have been a variance sometime in- the past, was between four or five 27 feet -from his east lot line. However, Mr. Anderson said he anticipated no con 28 flirt with his property since the widest part of his front yard would be adjacent 29 to the porch. With the eight foot setback, there would be 13 feet between his and 30 Mrs. Taylor's house and, Mr'. Anderson told the Commissioners, he intends to line 31 his house up with hers. 32 33 The applicant said Mr. Hertog had told him his family would be tearing down the 34 old structure on the 10.0 X 100 foot lot, west of the Anderson property, and he 35 would anticipate no problems with setbacks for the home which would be built there. 36 37 The plans for the house Mr. Anderson proposes to build, a sketch of the house, 38 and the preliminary plans for subdividing the storm damaged Hertog property into 39 seven lots had been included in the agenda packet and Mr. Anderson told Com- 40 missioner Bjorklund the house plans had been adjusted to fit this lot from the set 41 of plans for the Rivard home which he had submitted for concept review September 42 18th. Mr. Childs told the Commissioner the lot was a platted lot of record and 43 the precedent had already been set for developing lots of a similar size just 44 around the corner on Roosevelt Street. 45 46 Staff had received no other calls, except that from Mrs. Taylor, related to the 47 proposal and none of the neighbors were present to provide input to the discussion. 48 The hearing was closed at 8:14 P.M. 49 50 Motion by Commissioner Jones and seconded by Commissioner Wagner to recommend the .51. Council grant a two foot sideyard setback variance to the City Ordinance to • 52 Michael ' C.' Anderson, 720 Sycamore Lane, Plymouth, MN for the 34 foot wide home he 53 proposes to construct on the lot of record at 2608 - 33rd Avenue. N.E. to replace 54 that which'- had been severely damaged in the April 26th tornado, on the condition 55 the house is sited to provide an eight foot sideyard setback on the east and a five 56 foot setback on the west, as requested by the neighbor to the east.
