That Steve Pinewski, hereinafter referred to as "Applicant", has properly applied for a Board of Adjustment variance from Section 170.015G (Accessory Uses) on the property generally known as 6360 167th Avenue N.W. and legally described as follows: The West half of the Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 11, Township 32, Range 25, Anoka County, Minnesota, except road subject to easement of record. That the Applicant appeared before the Board of Adjustment for a public hearing pursuant to Section 170.013G (Variances) of the Ramsey City Code on December 4, 1990 and that said public hearing was properly advertised and that the minutes of said public hearing are hereby incorporated as a part of these findings by reference. That the subject property is zoned R-1 Rural Residential and is approximately 20 acres in size. That the subject property is surrounded by R-1 Rural Residential zoning.

That the Applicant has stated that the ~ade elevation at the proposed location of the accessory structure is approximately 6-8 feet lower than the grade elevation of the principal structure. The principal structure on the property measures 38 feet in height from ~ade.
