Name of Project: Goldman Front Entry Addition <br /> Location: 1146 Waldon Place,Arden Hills,MN 55112 <br /> Property Owner: Mike and Brenda Goldman, 1146 Waldon Place,Arden Hills,MN 55112 <br /> Plan Description: Our request is for a 10' by 10' (at the most)front entry addition to be built onto our house. This would <br /> at the most be within 3 5' feet of the setback. The addition would replace the current concrete front step pad and the <br /> corner portion of our brick sidewalk. The plan is for the door to be relocated to the side of this addition with picture <br /> windows facing the street. This addition will not encroach on any established trees and will not be a visual detriment to <br /> the neighborhood. <br /> Developer: Dan Pederson,Integrity Home Projects,Inc., 7524 Fairfield Rd.,Brooklyn Park,MN 55444 <br /> Signature of Property owner: Developer: <br /> Legal Description: Lot 13,Block 1,Hunters Park Third Addition,Ramsey County,Minnesota <br /> Parcel ID: 34.30.23.14.0036 <br /> Hardship Criteria: <br /> 1) The current property is located at 43 feet from the front setback line. When we purchased the home in 1992,we <br /> had not started our family. Upon the birth of our fourth child in 2002,we added on to the back of our house two <br /> additional bedrooms and 3rd car garage without a need for a variance because we have a pie wedge lot with a ver <br /> y <br /> ry <br /> deep backyard but a very short front yard. Because of the growth of our family and the needs for our family and <br /> any guests to safely enter and exit our dwelling,we are requesting a variance to add at the most a 10' by 10' front <br /> entry addition. This addition would be at the most 6' within the 40' front setback. <br /> We currently are not able to open the front door and have access to our front closet and have more than one <br /> person within the current front entry. This new addition would enable us to utilize this space in a safe and <br /> efficient manner. <br /> 2) With the property being a pie wedged lot,the property is unique in that we would not be able to add any <br /> additional space for an entrance to our house. We could add on to the back of the house again but that would <br /> defeat the purpose of an entrance. <br /> 3) The variance would still be conforming with all the rest of the properties in our cul de sac. The houses in our cul <br /> de sac all vary as to the distance from their front setbacks. The first house that was constructed on our cul-de-sac <br /> (1148 Waldon Place)is 50 feet from the front setback. Our neighbors(1147 Waldon Place)are within the 40 foot <br /> setback. <br /> 4) The addition of a front entry would not create a land use situation. <br /> 5) The variance would actually enhance the character of the neighborhood and is strongly supported by our entire <br /> neighborhood. <br /> 6) This is not for economic reasons but for safety and improved functionality of our home and property. <br /> 7) The proposed use of this variance is permitted within the zone. <br />
