Resolution 2002- 22 <br />Page 2 <br />The property is planned and zoned for residential use. The applicant is <br />proposing to add a deck to the east side of the home adjacent to an existing <br />sliding glass door and would provide egress from the home. <br />e) The variance, if granted, would not alter the essential character of the <br />locality in which it would be located. <br />The proposed deck is consistent with the essential character of this <br />residential area. At the time the homes were built in the Rice Lake <br />Meadows subdivision, the zoning code allowed encroachment of decks to <br />a distance of not less than three feet from any lot line. Therefore, decks on <br />some of the homes in the development are within the ten -foot side yard <br />setback. <br />The variance, if granted shall not have the effect of allowing, in any <br />district, any use prohibited in the district. <br />Decks are permitted in this residential zoning district. <br />g) The variance, if granted, shall not permit a lower degree of flood <br />protection than required by the ordinance. <br />The proposed deck would not be within a designated floodplain. <br />h) The sewage treatment system and water system of the subject property is <br />in compliance with city and state codes. <br />The proposed deck would not require any improvements to the municipal <br />water and sewer systems that serve this property. <br />ADOPTED by the City Council on May 20, 2002. <br />ATTEST: <br />Mary A6qtreager, City Clerk <br />i <br />i , !�IF- <br />Mayor <br />
