CITY OF RAMSEY LAND USE APPLICATION <br /> <br />D J15,2019 PA 14877QCNW <br />ATE ULY ROJECT DDRESS UINTANA IR <br />P. CHSV <br />ROJECT TITLE ODY OEFT ETBACK ARIANCE <br />E# 117065 <br />SCROW <br />D: Community Development: Planning Division (Zoning Code) <br />EPARTMENT <br />Name: Elliot Mohler <br />TR: <br />Phone: 763-576-4314 <br />ECHNICAL EVIEWER <br />Email: emohler@cityoframsey.com <br />The following comments are offered regarding the request for a setback variance for an accessory <br />structure (deck) submitted to the City of Ramsey by Cody Hoeft: <br /> <br />General: <br />the rear yard of the property generally referred to as 14877 Quintana Circle NW. The distance from <br />the side property boundary is less than what is required by both City Code and the PUD as set by <br />City Code. Because of this, a setback variance is required for the execution of a building permit. <br /> <br />The applicant is seeking a variance due to the practical difficulty caused by circumstances unique to <br />the individual property under consideration. There is an awkward property boundary that does not <br />allow for the applicant to construct a deck because it would not meet the setback requirements as set <br />by City Code. It should be noted that this model of home is designed for the future addition of a <br />deck, as can be seen by the inclusion of a sliding glass door on the upper level. The surrounding <br />properties are all able to construct a deck attached to their rear yard that would meet all setback <br />requirements set by City Code. <br /> <br />Zoning: The property is currently zoned PUD (Planned Unit Development). The surrounding <br />properties to the north and south are also zoned PUD. The property to the east is zoned as E-3 <br />Employment District, but the lot is currently vacant. An agreement between the City and the PUD <br />set the minimum side yard setback for accessory structures to 25 feet rather than 30 feet. <br />R-1 Residential (MUSA) Accessory Structure Setback Standards <br />Standard Required Proposed <br />Minimum Front Yard Setback 40 Feet 75 Feet (approximate) <br />Minimum Rear Yard Setback 5 Feet 42 Feet (approximate) <br />Minimum Side Yard Setback 6 Feet N/A <br />Minimum Side Yard (Corner) 25 Feet 14 Feet <br />Setback <br />Floodplains: <br />Wetlands: <br />Streets and Access: <br /> <br />
