PUBLIC HEARINGS/COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> 5.01: Public Hearing: Consider Variance Request to Place a Detached Accessory Building <br /> within the Required Setback from the Ordinary High Water Mark of the Rum River <br /> at 15795 Juniper Ridge Drive NW (Project No. 18-123); Case of Rick and Diane <br /> Farrell <br /> Public Hearing <br /> Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 7:03 p.m. <br /> Presentation <br /> Planning Intern Imihy presented the staff report stating the City has received an application from <br /> Rick and Diane Farrell (the "Applicant") for a variance to construct a detached accessory building <br /> within the required setback from the Rum River on the property located at 15795 Juniper Ridge <br /> Drive NW(the "Subject Property"). Staff reviewed the request in further detail and recommended <br /> approval of the variance in alignment with the EPB and DNR recommendation. <br /> Citizen Input <br /> Commissioner Anderson requested clarification on where the property owner was proposing to <br /> place the garage. <br /> Planning Intern Imihy described the location of the proposed detached accessory building in <br /> further detail with the Commission. She explained the property owner's primary goal was to <br /> minimize views from the street and the river. It was noted Alternate #1 was the location <br /> recommended by staff, the EPB and DNR. <br /> City Planner McGuire Brigl commented if Alternate #1 was approved by the Planning <br /> Commission, the applicants would amend their request to increase the size of the proposed <br /> detached accessory structure to more closely match their neighbors shed size. <br /> Commissioner Anderson asked if more trees would be lost if Alternate #2 were approved. <br /> Planning Intern Imihy reported this was the case. <br /> Planning Commission/July 12,2018 <br /> Page 2 of 10 <br />
