Michael and <br />Anita Kucala requested a variance to construct a garage nearer the front property line than the <br />principal structure at 15541 Zirconium Street NW, Ramsey. The parcel is approximately 4.5 <br />acres in size, and the house is located approximately 234 feet .from the nearest point of the <br />property line. Mr. Kucala is proposing to construct a garage which will be approximately 210 <br />feet from the nearest point of the property line. The site plan submit-ted and an on-site inspection <br />reveal that the property is significantly covered by mature tree growth, and some wetlands and <br />declining topography. These features prohibit construction of a garage in the side or rear yard. It <br />is staff's opinion that the mature tree growth in the area and the alignment of neighboring homes <br />along the street are such that there should be no adverse impact to the neighbors view of the <br />street scape by the construction of the proposed garage. <br /> <br />Board of Adjustment/July 10, 2000 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
