CASE REQUEST FOk AN INTERIM USE PERMIT TO MAINTAIN TWO DWELLINGS ON ONE PARCEL; CASE OF SCOTT AND CARRI EDGERON By: Sylvia Frolik, Community Development Director Background: City Code states that there shall not be more than one main building on a lot unless otherwise provided for in City Code. lVlr. and Mrs. Edgerton have purchased the property at 7031 173ra Avenue N.W. The home on the property was constructed in the very early 1900's and the Edgerton's are proposing to demolish the home and construct a new home on the property. They would like to live in the existing home while the new one is being constructed. In accordance with City Code, the City should not issue a building permit for a home on a property that already has a dwelling. The Edgerton's were advised to apply for an Interim Use Permit that would enable City Staff to issue a building permit for a second home on the property. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) e) Site location map Site Plan New home floor plan Proposed findings of fact Proposed conditional use permit Notification: In accordance with State statute, City Staff attempted to notify all owners of property with/n 350 feet of the Subject Property of the request for Interim Use Permit and public hearing. Observations: The Subject Property is approximately 5 acres in size and is located in the RUral Preserve area of the R-1 Residential District. The Applicants are proposing to live in the existing home on the property while their new home is being constructed. The Applicants have stated that the home has been inspected and no asbestos was found, lead paint levels were in an acceptable range, and the contractor will be disposing of the mercury switch on the thermostat in accordance with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) regulations. The proposed permit is drafted to require that the new home be constructed within 6 months, that the applicants take occupancy of the new home within 30 days of issuance of certificate of occupancy, and the existing home be demolished and removed within 60 ~ays of the issuance of certificate of occupancy for the new home. In the event the weather conditions are not conducive to backfilling the previous house foundation and septic system, the Building Official will have the authority to grant a maximum 60 day extension. Any extensions required beyond that time frame must be approved by the City Council.
