PUBLIC HEARINGS/COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> 5.01: Public Hearing: Consider a Variance Request to Allow a Detached Accessory <br /> Garage Nearer the Front Lot Line than the Home at 5725 180th Lane NW (Project <br /> No. 18-162); Case of Lisa and Scott Monserud <br /> Public Hearing <br /> Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 7:02 p.m. <br /> Presentation <br /> City Planner Anderson presented the staff report stating the purpose of this case is to review a <br /> request from Lisa & Scott Monserud (the "Applicant"), owners of the home at 5725 180th Ln <br /> NW (the "Subject Property")to build a detached garage closer to the front lot line than the home <br /> on the subject property. The subject property is approximately 1.37 acres and is zoned R-1 Rural <br /> Developing. The City Code restricts the siting of detached accessory buildings on lots less than 2 <br /> acres to the side or rear yard. In order for an accessory building be nearer the front property line <br /> than the principal building on the lot, a variance must be obtained. Staff recommended approval <br /> of the Variance request that would allow a detached accessory garage nearer to the front lot line <br /> than the home. <br /> Citizen Input <br /> Chairperson Bauer asked if the new structure would be accessed on a day to day basis. <br /> Lisa Monserud, 5725 180th Lane NW, explained the driveway would be extended to the garage. <br /> Commissioner Anderson asked if the RV would be placed in the garage. <br /> Ms. Monserud reported the RV would not be parked in the garage. She reported this would be <br /> parked on a concrete surface along the side of the existing garage. <br /> Motion by Commissioner Gengler, seconded by Commissioner Surma, to close the public <br /> hearing. <br /> Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bauer, Commissioners Gengler, Surma, Anderson, <br /> Onyambu, and Woestehoff. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner VanScoy. <br /> Planning Commission/January 3,2019 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br />
