MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Stille and St. Anthony Village City Council City Manager Yunker From: Stephen Grittman, City Planner Date: City Council Meeting – November 9, 2021 NAC Project No. 323.01 – 20.05 Request: Request for Variance to Side Yard Fence Setback Requirements for Driveway, Patio, and Shed, and to Maximum Impervious Surface Requirements for Single Family Parcel Property Address: 2912 Crestview Drive Property PID: 06-029-23-43-0047 STAFF and PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS The applicant has constructed a series of improvements to their property at the above address, including increased driveway width, a rear yard patio, and a rebuilt shed in the rear corner of the property. For the concrete work, the applicable setback for driveways and patios is 5 feet. Both surfaces have been constructed with a 2 foot setback, according to the sketch materials provided by the applicant. The shed was constructed in its current location as a replacement for a prior shed that was in poor repair. The original structure was 10 feet by 10 feet, and placed up to the property lines both to the north and west. The applicant’s new shed is 10 feet by 20 feet, also placed adjacent to the property line with a zero setback. For such buildings, a setback requirement of 5 feet applies, although an existing non-conforming structure can be replaced in its prior location, provided the non-conformity is not increased. Finally, staff’s estimates of impervious surface cover – including all paved areas and the areas of the shed and home, totals approximately 42.5%. For single family parcels less than 9,000 square feet, an impervious surface maximum of 40% is required. As such, on this lot of 8,732 square feet, the allowable impervious area is exceeded by approximately 220 square feet. Staff has reviewed for use, setbacks, and impervious surface, among other standards. Based on the material presented by the applicant, and the requirements for variance consideration in the City’s zoning ordinance, Staff and Planning Commission recommend as follows:
