That Section 9.20.11 of the Ramsey City Code requires a structure setback from thoroughfares of 110 feet from the thoroughfare centerline or 50 feet from the property line, whichever is greater. That the principal structure on the subject property is located approximately 98 feet from the C.S.A.H. #27 eenterline and approximately 80 feet from the front property line. That the principal structure on the property was constructed in 1967 prior to the establishment of thoroughfare setback requirements and is therefore considered lawful nonconforming.

The proposed construction is considered expanding a lawful nonconforming structure and to do so must be in conformance with City Code, i.e. obtaining a variance.
