A permit was issued for the garage and the slab was poured when tho discrapancy wras discovered and work was stopped. A public hearing has been scheduled. We are prepared to recoavy-kand approval , after reviewing the history of this parcel , the physical characteristics of the area, anA the existing City-imposed access restrictions, His ToRy or nopuny_ 'm is corner lot was created from a larger corner lot in 1971 (Application Mo. 71007). This was done after approval of a setUck Yariance for the existing dwelling, the premises of which became an intericy lot (the old house is 3 feet from the "now" side lot line). The variance approval (Application No. 71006) acknowledged the nonconforming location of the existing house which is near the rear of the now interior lot, 4 h applicant's house was built in 1971, -facing Colfax Avenue North, by the 6eveloper; the house 4 approximat0y 40 feet from the 69th Avenue North street line,. R. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ARFA , The older house south of the appli- X ryas i notabl, le, i�s is se s ca the rear of the lot, with a detached gar;ge^in what is now Ge Colfax Avenue front yard. The dwelling and garage ov Ve lot wcst of tie ipplicant's lot were built 25 feet from the 69th Avenw,,<., properYy-Tinq, and they have access onto 69th,, Thera are several dwellin, in the area Oich are setback less than 50 feet from 69th Avenue North. The applicant's house facQ; Colfax Avence No,th and has access from Colfax Abp nue to the paved pa .'r next to the house and to the proposed garage. 1 PUBLIC REQUIREMENTS AND RVIRICT IONS. When the Council approved the plat T- ance in a C,K. Avenue North was prohibited (con- sistent with County Highm Department Oalicy) . The plat approval includes ;. ton fool easement on the 69th Avenue side and on the Colfax Avenue Zee; aqc include ; a !-'Iva eas,,�W.ent on the west side. Y3'en the permit was issued in 1973, a 10 foot private ea-.ement iwas deeded --as required by "thin War l man t—along the south line, to assure minimum access to the 016nr honxey ..� �i I P.C. App iicPtion I'llo. 760301 Corn:'dl. Page Two CONCLUSIONS r . U s�-,O-ba - consistent with the other established The proposed 26 :ooi _tI ck would bc setbacks in this area. The Dropert.*,, is unique, hov.,ever, in that access onto 69th Avenue has not bows prohibill-ed for other lots as a condition of PI a 11-ti 11g. 2. A garage setback 50 feet froiii 69th Avenue on this lot would substantially ii-pair the light, air, and view of the older hojir, to the south. The situation of the older house in relation to the applicant's property is unique, and was approveid by City in 14971 despite setback deficiencies. 11,o reasoning of the variance and plat approval was that, since there was sufficient land for a no-,! corner lot and an interior lot, not to approve it would be a denial of reasonable use of the property. 3, The combined effect of tiie 50 foot setback and the prohibited access from, 69th Avenue would be a substantial amount of the yard devoted to a drive- wz�y-turn around since the garage would' face 69th Avenue North. 4� The applicant is constira,nad by public and private easements (required by the City) on the west and south to the exten't that the garage, at- a 50 foot setback, would occupy a smbsl-ant ial por-Ition of the rear yard. 6 Construction of the garltElge 26 feet from 69-Gh Avenue right-of-way woluld not hinder­FLCure expa.Dsion of the higthway by the Co-unty. The drive- ,vjay and appro)(fimately 20 feet would remain if the proposed 5-7 feet were taken from this 'lot for i!iidlaning. Approv.fl of the variance, wiill-hin ordinance standards, is recornnended. BROOKLYN PARK � ►)R p s e o AM[ T—Fl ARE...
