<br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 10-09-95 <br /> <br />ITEM NO.: B-2 <br /> <br /> <br />Department Approval: <br /> <br />j'ftJvf <br /> <br />Manager Reviewed: <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />Agenda Section: <br /> <br />Consent <br /> <br />S. Hugo and Marie Blomgren request for a minor variance at 1805 <br />Roselawn Avenue. <br /> <br />Variance Request <br /> <br />Requirement <br /> <br />Proposal <br /> <br />Variance <br /> <br />5 foot sideyard setback <br /> <br />8 inch sideyard setback <br /> <br />4 foot 4 inch variance <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />1. The property under consideration at 1805 Roselawn Avenue is zoned R-1 Single Family. <br />The Blomgren's purchased this property in 1954 and as their narrative indicates, thought <br />they had purchased enough property to have a 4 foot sideyard setback for the garage and <br />driveway. The survey work done for the recent platting of the Seidenkranz property <br />immediately east of the Blomgren's indicated that this was not the case and that there was <br />only 8 inches between the property line and the garage. It is the Blomgren's hope that the <br />garage can remain where it is and therefore, are requesting a 4 foot 4 inch sideyard <br />setback variance. <br /> <br />2. The Minor Variance Committee has reviewed this request and unanimously recommended <br />approval ofa 4 foot 4 inch sideyard setback variance at 1805 Roselawn Avenue. It was <br />the Committee's belief that moving the existing garage would not be feasible. Mr. <br />Blomgren has indicated that he will move his driveway so that it is no closer to the <br />property line than the garage. <br /> <br />3. All affected adjacent property owners have been notified and have given their written <br />consent for the proposed variance request. <br /> <br />Alternatives: <br /> <br />1. Deny the variance based on findings that no hardship or practical difficulties exist on the <br />site. <br /> <br />3 <br />
