consultants have thoroughly looked into the condition of the existing house and have indicated to Mr. Torgerson that the condition and design of the existing cabin foundation does not provide the strength or structural integrity to support the roof system and the connection to the proposed addition. It is the consultant's recommendation that the best approach to this site would be to raze the entire structure and rebuild a new structure on the site. This is similar to concerns raised by members of the Planning Commission during the deliberation on Mr. Torgerson's request in May. Mr. Torgerson has looked at designs for new houses that would maintain the current setback from the shoreline and stay within side yard setback requirements and be at least 5 feet ftom the front yard property line and is now requesting that the Commission consider modifYing his approval to include construction of a new house within those building limits. 4. The Planning Commission, at the August 9, 1995 meeting, recommended approval of John Torgerson ts request for a variance at 337 South Owasso Boulevard, to allow the existing structure to be torn down and a new structure to be built at the same 21 foot setback from the shoreline for the foundation wall of the house and with a 15 feet setback from the Lake Owasso shoreline for the deck, and 5 feet for the south or front property line setback for a garage, but requiring a 5 foot minimum setback on both side lot property lines. The motion reads as follows: Resolution 8/9/95a Chairman Wietecki offered the following motion which was seconded by Member Harms. WHEREAS, Burlington Northern Railroad right~of-way forms the ftont or south property line along the structure and lot at 337 South Owasso Boulevard, and WHEREAS, the front or south side setback from the Burlington Northern railroad right- of-way front property line is five feet, and WHEREAS, the Burlington Northern railroad right-of~way prohibits further encroachment or further development, and WHEREAS, the lot area is consistent with adjacent properties, and the proposed structure will be set back from the shoreland a distance similar to adjacent structures, and WHEREAS, the proposed structure would encroach no closer than the existing structurally unsound structure to Lake Owasso's shoreline, now THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City ofRoseville Planning Commission recommends approval of a variance to John Torgerson at 337 South Owasso Boulevard, to allow the existing structure to be torn down and a new structure to be built at the same 21 foot setback from the shoreline for the foundation wall of the house and with a 15 feet setback from the Lake Owasso shoreline for the deck, and 5 feet for the south or front property line setback for a garage, but requiring a 5 foot minimum setback on both side lot 2
