Approval of Minutes for the BOZA Meeting of January 27, 2022
Board Member Petty made a motion, seconded by Weidt to approve minutes for the meeting of
January 27, 2022.
Ayes: All.
Nay: None.
Motion carried.
Public Hearing: Ranell and Dan Tennyson – 12582 Ingersoll Avenue North front yard and shoreland
setback variances to allow the reconstruction of an existing accessory building.
Staff provided a background on the request submitted by Ranell and Dan Tennyson located at 12582
Ingersoll Avenue North. The applicants are requesting two variances for the reconstruction of an
existing accessory building on their residential property. The variance requests include the building
setback to be 6.9 feet from the ordinary high water level of Sunset Lake, where 100 feet is required by
ordinance, and the front yard building setback to be 19.8 feet from the east property line, where 40
feet is required by ordinance.
Staff analyzed the requests based on the criteria outlined in the City Code. Staff stated that there are
practical difficulties in meeting the building setback requirements and that the strict enforcement of
the ordinance would cause undue hardship because the property owners would not have a building
area for an accessory building without the granting of variances. The variance requests meet the spirit
and intent of the City Code and would not change the essential character of the neighborhood.
It is in staff’s opinion that the applicant meets all requirements necessary to approve the shoreland
and front yard setback variance requests for property located at 12582 Ingersoll Avenue North. Staff
recommended approval of the two variance requests.
Chair Weidt opened the public hearing at 6:34pm.
No one spoke.
