single a 735 sq. ft. attached garage. The proposed improvement seeks to place the garage 5 from the side (north) property line and 21 feet from the front (east) property line, and the home 7 feet from the side (south) property line and 36 feet from the Ordinary High Watermark for Walsh Lake (west). The proposal will include 2,600 sq. ft. (estimate) of . . ImpervIOUS coverage. 4.2 In review of the City Code, VARIANCES are necessary from Section 1004.016 (Residential Dimensional Requirements - Front & Side Yard Setbacks), Section 1016.14 (Water Management Overlay District Lot Standards), Section 1016.16 (Structure Design Standards), and Section 1016.26 (Storm Water Management) in order to accommodate the proposed residential structure. 4.3 In 1998 Peter Kelsey & Greta Friedemann received a 10 foot VARIANCE to allow the construction of a principal structure 20 feet from the front property line and a 9 foot V ARIANCE to allow the same 37.5 feet from the Ordinary High Watermark of Walsh Lake (PF3055 - portions attached). However, there was no building permit issued for the parcel within the required 6 month deadline (Section 1013.03) and the variances approved by the City Council became null and void. 5.0 STAFF COMMENTS/FINDINGS: 5.1 The Brown proposal seeks to construct a two-story single family home with an attached double stall garage. The principal structure is proposed to encroach into the required front yard setback (9 feet), both side yard setbacks (3 feet south and 5 feet north), the rear yard shore land setback (39 feet), and exceeds (1.5%) the allowable impervious coverage afforded by the City Code. 5.2 Prior to the Brown request, the City Planner received numerous calls regarding building a home on this vacant parcel. Specifically, a review of the previously approved variances was completed to determine whether they were valid. The determination concluded that since no building permit was issued for the parcel, the variances granted in 1998 are no longer valid. The City Planner also met with a number of interested individuals to review and discuss the City Code (as applicable to this parcel) and the options available for receiving multiple variances. 5.3 Section 1016.22 (Nonconformities) reads: All legally established nonconformities as of the date of this Code amendment may continue, but they shall be managed according to applicable State statutes and other regulations of the City for the subjects of alterations and additions, repair after damage, discontinuance of use and intensification of use. The following standards apply to nonconforming lots and uses in the shoreland management areas: PF3624_RVBA_030205.doc- Page 2 of8
