PUBLIC HEARINGS/BOARD BUSINESS Case #1: Request for a Variance to Front Yard Setbacks; Case of Edina Development Chairperson Nixt closed the regular portion of the Board of Adjustment meeting at 7:07 p.m. in order to conduct the public hearing. Public Hearing Chairperson Nixt called the public hearing to order at 7:07 p.m. Presentation Community Development Director Frolik stated Edina Development is proposing to subdivide land on the northwest comer of State Hwy. 47 and Alpine Dr. into 112 townhome units. The property is in the process of being rezoned to R3-U which allows for townhomes up to a density of seven units per acre. City Code states that the front yard setback for buildings located in the R3-U Zoning District be setback 35 feet from edge of the right-of-way of public roads. The applicant is requesting a variance to have the townhouse units setback 10 - 25 feet from the right- of-way. She noted this setback variance is corrected from that which was stated in the Staff Report. She also noted on the enclosed Resolution for approval, number 2 is incorrect and is corrected on the Resolution she distributed at the meeting. Citizen Input Gary Rudy, Edina Development, stated he was available for questions. Motion by Board Member Johnson, seconded by Board Member Kociscak, to close the public hearing. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Board Members Johnson, Kociscak, Brauer, Reeve, Sweet and Watson. Voting No: None. Absent: None. The public hearing closed at 7:08 p.m. Board Business Chairperson Nixt called the Board of Adjustment meeting back to order at 7:08 p.m. Chairperson Nixt stated this seems to be more of a policy matter, and he would rather leave this to the Council's discretion. Board Member Johnson questioned where the Council is on these issues. Board of Adjustment/April 4, 2002 Page 2 of 4
