Minnesota Building Code requires six feet eight inches. As a result of the substandard <br />garage, the applicants cannot park their vehicles in their garage and must store them on the <br />driveway. The proposed addition would be constructed adjacent to the existing garage to the <br />south of the property and remain in line with the front and rear of the existing structure. The <br />addition would replace the existing garage, bringing it up to building code, and provide two <br />new garage stalls and a small addition to the dwelling. The current footprint of the structure <br />is 1,497 square feet. <br />The existing home is a walkout with a tuck under garage facing the back of the property. <br />The driveway enters the property from the south and curves to the west to access the existing <br />garage. The property is unique in that it has three front yard setbacks to the south, east, and <br />west. This is due to the property's location along the curve of Skiles Lane and adjacency to <br />Snelling Avenue. The extreme grade shifts from the front to the back yard would permit <br />most of this addition to be located below grade and thus not be visible from Skiles Lane. <br />Because of this lot configuration, alternative locations for a two car garage that meets <br />building code are extremely limited. The only other alternative would be a detached garage <br />located in the rear of the property; however, this configuration would also require the garage <br />to meet a forty foot setback to Snelling Avenue, thus requiring that it be placed within a few <br />feet of the existing dwelling and be above grade. <br />Along Skiles Lane, the existing structure encroaches ten feet into the 40 foot front yard <br />setback (Attachment 3A-1 and 2). The applicant is proposing to step back the above grade <br />addition in line with the curve of Skiles Lane and to maintain the architectural lines and <br />continuity of the structure. The below grade garage would remain in line with the front and <br />rear of the existing structure. The cantilevered deck would extend into the rear of the <br />property over the proposed new garage. In total, approximately 480 square feet of the <br />proposed addition would encroach in to the front yard setback, of this only 96 square feet <br />would be above grade and visible from Skiles Lane. <br />There are no previous variances on file for this property. <br />The applicant has submitted a description of the proposed addition, a response to the variance <br />evaluation criteria, a letter describing the landscaping plan, and a site plan of the property <br />(Attachment 3A-1). <br />2.
