CASE # <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE FROM STREET FRONTAGE OR <br />LOT WIDTH REQUIREMENTS ON P.I.N. 08-32-25-11-0014; <br />CASE OF LARRY SKOGQUIST <br /> By: Anita Rasmussen, City Planner <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Larry Skogquist is requesting a variance to the minimum lot width or street frontage requirement in <br />order that a dwelling may be constructed on a lot they own that is located on the south side of <br />County Road #63 and northeast of Dellwood Hills. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) Site location <br />b) Site Plan <br />c) Proposed Findings of Facts <br />d) Proposed Variance <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />State statute requires notification of the public hearing to property owners within 350 feet of the <br />Subject Property. <br /> <br />Observations: <br />As you may recall, the Board of Adjustment approved a variance from the minimum street frontage <br />requirement to this lot on July 7, 1998. However, the variance remained into effect until July 7, <br />1999. The applicant did not initiate the variance within the one-year timeframe, nor did he petition <br />for an extension of time to complete the variance. The applicant would like a re-issuance of the <br />variance from street frontage requirements. <br /> <br />The parcel is approximately 10 acres in size and is zoned R-1 Rural Residential. The surrounding <br />parcels are also zoned for single family residential dwellings. <br /> <br />City Code does not permit the development of a home on a lot that does not meet the minimum <br />width requirements. City Code defines width as the amount of property that abuts the public <br />road. In the rural residential district, the minimum lot width or street frontage requirement is 200 <br />feet. The subject property abuts County Road #63 at two locations; one measurement is 70 feet <br />and the other is 150 feet. In total, the parcel has 220 feet of non-contiguous street frontage. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />City Staff recommends re-issuance of the variance from street frontage requirements contingent <br />upon the applicant entering into a variance agreement with the City. The proposed variance is <br />identical to the one approved in 1998. <br /> <br /> <br />
