ProDosed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 93-125 approving as
foot side yard variance to construct an addition toa garage.
Mr. Day moved and Mr. Gullickson seconded a motion to approve Resolution RZ93-24
approving a 5 foot side yard variance at 510 Sweetbriar., The motion carried unanimously,
Overview.
The applicant is proposing to construct an addition to the existing garage at 510 Sweetbriar.
The proposed addition is 1 0 fe~t wide and ,narrows to 7 feet at the back. The building length
is 25 feet. The applicants property is located abutting State Hwy~ 7 and the sound barrier.
The applicant's property is located in the R-1-D zoning district. A 10 foot side yard setback is
required. The applicant currently has a 10 foot side yard setback and is requesting a 5 foot
. variance to facilitate this construction. If the variance is granted, the applicant will have a 5
foot side yard setback.
Staff reviewed the applicants request with the Commission. The applicant, Mr. Story,
appeared before the Commission. He stated that no one in the neighborhood was opposed to
the variance. There was little discussion on the variance.
Primarv Issues to Consider.

. . Primary Issues. to Consider.
0 Does the applicant have an undue hardship?
The Zoning Ordinance defines a variance as the following: "a modification or variation from
the provisions of this code or variation from its. provisions granted by the board and applying.
to a specific parcel of property because of undue hardship. due to circumstances peculiar. and
unique to such parcel. "
The applicant's situation is different than most other lots in Hopkins. The applicant's property
abuts State Hwy, 7 and the sound barrier is located adjacent the side of the property on which
he is requesting a variance. The sound barrier is located approximately 30 feet from the
applicant's home, but the applicant only has 10 feet to the property line, One of the basic
intents of the zoning ordinance as relates to setbacks is to provide adequa~e distance between
homes for light, air, privacy, fire protection etc. In this case the applicant does not.have a
home on the side .that the variance is being requested and probably never will. Also, the
applicant's home is situated on the lot in such a manner that prohibits construction of a
detached garage in the rear yard. Both sides of the home are located 10 feet.from the side lot.
lines, which would make construction of a driveway to secure access to the rear yard very
difficult.
0 Does the applicant have reasonable use of the property?
. The applicant in the purest sense does have reasonable use of the property, However, there
are really no alternatives available to secure additional garage space without building in the
setback area.
0 What is the staff recommendation?
Staff is recommending. approval of the variance due to the unique and special circumstances
associated with this property and its relationship to Highway 7/sound barrier located on the
north side of the. property and that such construction will not violate the intent of the zoning
ordinance.
Alternatives,
1. Approve the variance. With approval. of the variance, the applicant will be able to
construct the proposed addition,
2. Deny the variance, By denying the variance, the applicant will not be able to construct
the proposed addition. If this alternative is chosen, the City Council will.have to detail
findings of fact to support this decision.
. .3. Continue for further information, If the. City Council indicates that further information
is needed the item should be continued.
