MEMORANDUM
TO Eric Johnson
FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: Februar 5, 2009
RE: Oak Park Hei — Dou Corblick, 15471 58th Street North —
Variance for Side Yard Setback and Buildin Location,
Conditional Use Permit for Two Accessor Structures
FILE NO: 798.07 — 09.01
Dou Corblick of 15471 58th Street North has re a variance for side y ard
setback and buildin location and a conditional use permit for two accessor structures.
Mr. Corblick has constructed a pla shed within the side y ard setback area of
his lot and partiall within propert owned b Northern States Power Compan (Xcel
Ener Northern States Power Compan has a to g rant an Encroachment
Licensin A to Mr. Corblick to allow the pla shed to remain on their
propert The propert is zoned R-1, Sin Famil Residential.
As y ou are aware, the Plannin Commission, at their October 9, 2008 meetin
recommended amendments to Section 401.15.0, Accessor Buildin Uses and
E to allow flexibilit throu conditional use permit versus variance review.
The chan that were recommended would eliminate the need for variances re
b Mr. Corblick. If adopted, the conditional use permit process could be utilized to
address the setback and buildin location issues. The Cit Council, at their October 20,
2008 meetin did not take action on the recommended amendments but asked that the
item be placed on a future meetin a
The Cit Council would address these amendments at their Februar 24, 2009 meetin
It seems reasonable to staff to hold on the re b Mr. Corblick until after the Cit
Council takes action on the pendin Zonin Ordinance amendments. If the Cit Council
a with the Plannin Commission recommendation, Mr. Corblick would be
considered for three conditional use permits instead of the two variances and one
conditional use permit.
At their meeting on February 12, 2009, the Planning commission should open the
public hearing and then recommend it be tabled to the March 12, 2009 meeting. By that
time, the City council would have likely acted on the amendments to the accessory
building provisions of the Zoning ordinance.
The application was received on January 7, 2009. on January 22, 2009, our office sent
a letter to Mr. Corblick indicating the City was taking a full 120 days for review of the
application. The city Council will need to make a final decision on this issue by the April
28 2009 meeting.
