<br />variance to allow a new garage to sit within 5 feet of the front property line, <br />provided the applicant secures a letter of approval from the existing property owner. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />1. The property at 337 S. Owasso Boulevard was platted and constructed in 1938. As with <br />many of the cabin lots on the east side of Lake Owasso, setbacks were not in place at the <br />time of construction. Mr. Torgerson's proposal is to improve the site by adding living <br />space and an attached garage to the house. The proposed structure would stay beyond the <br />five foot setback from the south sideyard property line and importantly, would not <br />encroach further into the lake shore setback area. Because Mr. Torgerson's project will <br />improve the property and get the existing attached garage off the railroad right-of-way, <br />while not moving any closer to the Lake Owasso shoreline, staff recommends approval of <br />his request for a 25 foot front yard setback variance. <br /> <br />Council Action Requested: <br /> <br />1. Motion to approve John Torgerson's request for a 25 foot front yard setback variance to <br />allow a new garage to sit within 5 feet of the front property line, provided the applicant <br />secures a letter of approval from the existing property owner. <br /> <br />Staff Report by: Michael Falk <br />
