Motion carried unanimously (4-0). Case No. 82-4, Special Use Permit for Duplex - 1963 West County Road E2,Lendrum MacEachron Council was referred to a transparency of the lot which is nearly 73,000 square feet in area surrounded on 3 sides by Ramsey County Open Space and on the east by the Ramsey County public library property. Miller explained that the applicants propose to convert the existing two-story house into a two-family dwelling. Miller reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of a ~ . Special Use Permit for the two-family use with two conditions: 1. A well defined parking area be provided for at least six cars directly north of the house and 2, The access drive shall be improved and surfaced to accommodate all weather access. In review of the Unit 2 modification, it was noted that a second stairwell exists between the bedroom and dining room, which will remain for use as an emergency exit from the hallway. It was re- ported by the applicant that they have contracted to have 75 tons of crushed rock placed on the driveway. McAllister moved, seconded by Hicks, that Council approve a Special Use Permit for the proposed two-family dwelling at 1963 West Cty. Rosd E2. Motion carried unanimously (4-0). Case No. 82-7, Variance for Garage - 1934 Edgewater Avenue Council was referred to a transparency of the Bohnen lot indicat- ing the location of the existing house and proposed garage, as well as existing houses and garages in the area. Miller noted that the Zoning ordinance permits the principle . structure to conform to the prevailing setback in the immediate vicinity, but does not speak to accessory structures; consequently, a 29,5' setback variance is requested for the new two-car garage to be sited in line with the house 10.5' from the Prior Ave. right- of-way. Miller reported that the Board of Appeals and Planning Commission recommend approval of the setback variance based upon hardships and conditions listed in their respective reports. After discussion, Hicks moved, seconded by McAllister, that Council approve the 29.5' sideyard setback variance (corner lot) aa re- quested, based on the following hardships and considerations: ~ 1. Conformance would drastically reduce utility of the applicant's rear yard. 2. Proposed garage location conforms to other atructures in the neighborhood. 3. Detrimental visual and utility impact is minimal. Motion carried unanimously (4-0). Case No. 82-8, Building Permit for Storage Building 1296 West County Road F, Midwestern Relay Company Council was referred to a transparency of the Midwestern Relay Company aite on County Road F., indicating the tower location, and the proposed 10' x 16' storage building location, within the fenced area under the tower. Miller explained that the Zoning Adminiatrator reasoned that the propoaed building doea not repreaent an expansion of the use or a aignificant change to the site so an application to amend the , existing Special Use Permit was not required; the application, con- sequently, is for approval of a building permit for the storage building. -3-
