Recommendation Staff recommends approval of this variance application. The findings of fact for this variance support a recommendation for approval. The property is unique in the City. The narrowness of the lot, which is more narrow than other lots in the area, make siting a conforming new home extremely difficult. If all setback requirements were met the home and garage would need to be constructed within a 49 foot wide by 40 foot deep area. The existing home currently encroaches within both side setbacks. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to increase the west side yard setback, bringing it into conformance with the existing Code. If the Planning Commission recommends approval of the variance, Staff recommends the following five conditions: 1. The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission. 2. Building, Grading and Erosion Control, and Demolition permits shall be obtained by the property owner. 3. The structure shall conform to all other regulations in the City Code. 4. The applicant shall obtain approval or a waiver from the Rice Creek Watershed District prior to the issuance of any building permits. 5. The applicant shall submit a Shoreland Mitigation plan to the City in accordance with Section 1330.03 Subd 7E subject to the approval of the City Planner. Options 1.
