CASE # / REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE FROM CORNER SIDE YARD SETBACK REQUIREMENTS; CASE OF THOMAS KING Background: M_r. King's home at 5915 177th Avenue N.W. was originally constructed in 1965 fronting on St. Francis Blvd. N.W. The subsequent alignment and construction of 177th Avenue N.W. along the south property line of Mr. King's property resulted in his lot becoming a comer lot. Mr. King is now proposing to construct an accessory structure and as the site plan reflects, the only reasonable place to locate the structure on the property is southeast of the existing structure. The building official has stated that any open area remaining in the back yard should be retained for an alternate septic system. There is not sufficient area in the front yard to expand the attached garage without encroaching on the thoroughfare setback from St. Francis Blvd. The most side yard setback Mr. King can achieve on the south side is 12 feet from the property line, which would have been sufficient if he did not have a comer lot. Based on that, Mr. King is requesting a variance from the 35 foot comer side yard setback. The following items ard enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) Site plan c) Proposed findings of fact d) Proposed variance Observations: On October 29, 1991, the City of Ramsey received an application from Thomas King for a variance to the comer side vard setback requirements.
