Excerpt from Draft Minutes of May 27, 1998 Planning Commission Meetgin 6b. City of Rosevjlle - 2100 William... Chair Katie Harms opened the public hearing and requested Dennis Welsch to present a brief background for the request based on the staff report of May 27, 1998. Welsch explained the City's Housing Replacement Program goals and noted that this property was the first acquisition to occur in the program. Two pre-existing non- conforming lots of records will be combined into one larger 87 foot wide parcel. The existing structure will be razed and the City will request proposals to build a new home on the site. The new building will have to meet the City's guidelines for replacement housing, fitting the site and the neighborhood, and having compatible materials. The staff asked that this lot be scrutinized by both the Planning Commission and the City Council and that hearings be held to gather public input on this project. One letter (5/26/98) was received from Bradley Krump, 2103 William, who requested that a 10 feet north side setback (instead of proposed 5 feet) be approved, and that the setback on the south side facing Burke be 25 feet (instead of proposed 30 feet). Mr. Krump also recommended that the proposed home use building materials (brick, siding, stucco, glazing) that are consistent with neighborhood homes. A general discussion ensued regarding the history of the lot. Member Olson asked for details on the history of the five foot side yard setback in the City. Since there was no further public comment offered, Chair Harms closed the hearing. MOTION: Harms moved, second by Wilke, to recommend approval of the variances to reduce the minimum lot area to 10,875 square feet and the minimum lot width to 87 feet for the purposed of consolidating two substandard lots into one buildable lot, and recommended approval of a required north side yard setback of 10 feet and a variance the south side front yard setback to allow for a 25 foot setback (instead of 30 feet) at 2100 William Street, North, based on the findings outlined in Section 3.1 of the project report. On a roll call vote: Mulder, Klausing, Wilke, Harms, Rhody, Cunningham, and Olson voted in favor. The motion carried 7-0. M:\RPCA \PFJOO I.MOT
