Council Meeting Minutes for November 6, 2023 Page 4 of 5 Approve Resolutions Approving Variance and Encroachment Agreement for 12033 Everton Avenue The applicants, Hunter and Brayanna Smith, had requested to construct a 1,200 square foot accessory building. The requested variance was 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 was required by ordinance. There was a 60-foot-wide City owned right-of-way to the east of the applicants’ property. The applicants had requested an encroachment agreement to allow for an existing fence to remain within the right-of-way until such time that approved improvements were made within the right-of-way. The Senior Engineering Technician had reviewed the location of the fence and was comfortable with the request. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved RESOLUTION 2023-38 APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM THE REAR AND SIDE YARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 12033 EVERTON AVENUE NORTH, and RESOLUTION 2023-39 APPROVING AN ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT TO ALLOW A FENCE LOCATED WITHIN RIGHT-OF-WAY TO THE EAST OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 12033 EVERTON AVENUE NORTH. 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 expired 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) would 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 had 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. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved RESOLUTION 2023-40 ADOPTING THE WASHINGTON COUNTY ALL-HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.
