VRN86-4 PURPOSE: To review and recommend action on a variance for a rear yard setback at 302 Sweet Briar Lane. BACKGROUND: Name of Applicant: Lawrence Flake Address of Property: 302 Sweet Briar Lane Present Zoning: R-1-C Nature of Request: 9 foot rear yard setback variance Reason for Request: To build breezeway between the garage and house The applicant is proposing to construct a breezeway between his garage and home. The site presently has a garage that is conforming as a detached accessory building, however, once the garage is attached, ordinance 427.31 requires a rear yard setback of 35 feet in a R-1-C district. The applicant has stated that the garage was located in its present position to save two � large oak trees. Ordinance 427.23 states that a variance shall be approved only by circum- stances unique to the property under consideration would cause undue hard- ship to owner. The applicant has contacted the surrounding neighbors and none have ob- jected to the construction of the breezeway. AfJALYSIS: The applicant is proposing to connect his garage and home with a breezeway. The garage was put at its present position because of the two large oak trees. If the garage was placed closer to the house the trees would have to be re- moved, since access to the garage is from Minnetonka Mills Road. RECOMMENDATION: I recommend a rear yard setback variance of 9 feet for construction of a breezeway between the garage and house. The following findings of fact are suggested should the commission recommend approval : Resolution recommending approval based on the Findings of Fact: l . A unique circumstance is present due to the two large oak trees. 2. A hardship exists due to the pie shaped lot. ,i�� I � �V � � �i�:("N; ' -- PJancy� S.
