G.12 Approve Resolutions Approving Variance and Encroachment Agreement for 12033 Everton Avenue The applicants, Hunter and Brayanna Smith, are requesting to construct a 1,200 square foot accessory building. The requested variance is to allow for the proposed accessory building and existing shed on the 0.86-acre property to have a rear yard setback of 10 feet, where 30 feet is required by ordinance. There is a 60-foot-wide city owned right-of-way to the east of the applicants’ property.

G.13 Approve Resolution Adopting the Washington County All-Hazard Mitigation Plan In 2006, Washington County’s Board of Commissioners adopted the Washington County All Hazard Mitigation Plan which identified the hazards faced in the county, certain vulnerabilities to these hazards, and mitigation strategies for the future. The 2018 Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan expires on November 22, 2023. Review of this plan by the State of Minnesota Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and final approval by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will make Washington County and the municipalities that adopt this plan eligible for three Federal funding sources: Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA), Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC), and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) project funds. Washington County Commissioners adopted the All-Hazard Mitigation Plan and signed the resolution on Tuesday, October 24. Each city and town must adopt resolutions approving the plan by November 22, 2023, in order to maintain eligibility to apply for and/or receive FEMA grant funding. Staff recommends Council adopt the resolution approving the Washington County All Hazard Mitigation Plan.
