2013 -06 -04 Draft findings for approval -7261 Main <br /> Planning & Zoning Commission Report and Recommendation. <br /> The Planning & Zoning Commission met on June 4, 2013, to consider a <br /> request of Jeffrey Magdik, Home Detail, Inc, for a variance from front - <br /> yard setback requirements at 7261 Main Street, Lots 14, Block 2, Burque <br /> Addition Number 1, City of Centerville. <br /> Findings: <br /> 1. The Planning and Zoning Commission heard and considered all <br /> testimony of interested persons submitted in writing and in person <br /> during the public hearing and input process. <br /> 2. The proposed setback would encroach thirteen feet into the <br /> required 35 foot front -yard adjoining Main Street. <br /> 3. The property is subject to a 75 foot rear -yard setback do to lake <br /> frontage, and being a corner lot has a 35 foot setback from both <br /> Peltier Lake Drive and Main Street. <br /> 4. The need for a variance is substantially caused by the taking of <br /> twenty -five feet of additional right of way by Anoka County to <br /> reconstruct Highway 14. After the taking, the lot has <br /> approximately 2400 square feet of buildable area, but the <br /> buildable pad is triangular in shape, making it much more <br /> difficult. <br /> 5. The variance in the setback would not be for the entire length of <br /> the building, but because of the triangular shape of the lot, would <br /> be variable, provided that approximately 350 square feet of <br /> structure would be in the setback area. <br /> 6. The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The use and <br /> building type meets the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Constructing a dwelling on this parcel is in keeping with a stated <br /> goal of the city, which is to maximize the tax base and utilization <br /> of available land. <br /> 7. The applicant provided evidence that the property could not be <br /> developed in a reasonable manner if the city imposed the normal <br /> setback requirements. <br /> 8. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any <br /> persons presently having an interest in the parcel of land. Special <br /> circumstances exist that are peculiar to the land, structure or <br /> building involved and do not result from the actions of the <br /> petitioner. The Commission finds that the unique circumstances <br />
