MEMORANDUM <br />To: St. Anthony Village Honorable Mayor and Planning Commission <br />Mark Casey, City Manager <br />From: Breanne Rothstein, AICP, City Planner <br />Date: Planning Commission Regular Meeting for June 26, 2017 <br />WSB Project No. 0- 010201 -000 <br />Request: Request for a variance to the rear yard setback requirement to allow a <br />deck to be set back 17 feet from rear property line, a reduction from the <br />required 25 -foot rear yard setback. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Applicant is requesting to construct an attached deck behind their home at 3204 Townview Avenue. <br />The proposed deck is 14 feet by 14 feet in size. Currently, the applicant's home is set back 31 feet from <br />their rear property line. The addition of a 14 -foot deck would reduce their rear -yard setback to 17 feet. <br />The minimum required setback in the R -1 district is 25 feet. The applicants are therefore requesting an <br />eight -foot variance to the 25 -foot setback requirement to allow their deck to be set back 17 feet from <br />their rear property line. <br />The applicant's lot length, at 119 feet, is a short lot compared to nearly all other lots on this block of <br />Townview Avenue. Both neighboring lots, and all lots on the block, have a lot length closer to 137 feet. <br />Were the applicant's lot to be sized similarly in terms of length, the proposed deck would not require a <br />variance as the rear setback would exceed 25 feet. Because the applicant's plight is due to a unique <br />feature of their property dimensions, staff are recommending approval of the variance request. <br />GENERAL INFORMATION <br />Applicant: Viktor & Katherine Adamcsek <br />Owner: <br />Viktor & Katherine Adamcsek <br />Location: <br />3204 Townview Avenue <br />Existing Land Use / <br />Low- Density Residential / Zoned: R-1 Single Family District <br />Zoning: <br />Surrounding Land <br />North: Low - Density Residential / Zoned: R -1 Single Family District <br />Use / Zoning: <br />East: Low - Density Residential / Zoned: R -1 Single Family District <br />South: High Density Residential / Zoned: R -1 Single Family District <br />West: Low- Density Residential / Zoned: R -1 Single Family District <br />Deadline for Agency <br />Application Date: 05 -24 -17 <br />Action: <br />60 Days: 07 -23 -17 <br />Letter Sent: No <br />120 Days: 09 -21 -17 <br />
