Board of Zoning Adjustments September 12,2002-page 2 <br /> Brunotte made motion, Schumann seconded, to amend the motion to require the <br /> existing building be removed. <br /> Vote on amendment: All Ayes. Motion carried. <br /> Vote on original motion: All Ayes. Motion carried. <br /> Variance for Anderson—6551132 nd St. N. <br /> The Board considered the request of Chris Anderson, 6551 132nd Street North, for <br /> a variance to permit a 10-foot side yard setback for the construction of a 2,040 <br /> square foot pole building where a 40 foot side yard setback is required by <br /> ordinance in the Rural Residential zoning district <br /> Staff found that the location of the existing home, well, trees, and the size and <br /> topography of the lot prevents the placement of the accessory building at 40 feet from <br /> the property line. The property slopes away from the home toward the rear of the lot <br /> making it unfeasible to move the proposed building back and toward the center of the <br /> lot. Therefore, staff recommended approval of the variance. <br /> Chris Anderson,the applicant,said the 40-foot setback would put the building in the <br /> middle of his back yard. <br /> Ray Frewerda, 6521 132nd Street North, said he shared the property line with <br /> Anderson and had no problem with the variance as long as the building was <br /> constructed to the plans Anderson had submitted to the City. <br /> Cliff Axelson, 12317 Goodview Avenue North, owns the 40-acre parcel next to the <br /> lot next to the Anderson property. Axelson was concerned that the parcel between <br /> his property and the Anderson property would also be granted a variance at some <br /> point, and he said this would be too close to his property line. <br /> The Community Development Director pointed out that the required setback was <br /> only 10 feet at the time the house was built. <br /> Schumann said that since the ordinance change to require 40-foot setbacks, many <br /> variances had been granted. The City will be reviewing the setback requirements. <br /> Brunotte made motion, Puleo seconded, to approve the variance to construct the <br /> building 10 feet from the property line. <br /> All Ayes. Motion carried. <br /> Variance for Ball—8715122nd St. N. <br /> The board considered the request of Mike Ball, 8715 122nd Street North, for a <br /> variance to permit a 32-foot side yard setback and a variance to locate the building <br /> closer to the road than is the existing home. The applicant wanted to construct a <br />
