Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the waiver of platting. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
In 2008, the owners of 704 and 708 119th Lane applied for and received a waiver of platting that would readjust the lot line between the two properties to allow the owners of 704 119th Lane to construct a garage in the rear yard. The owners never completed the steps to record the waiver of platting at Anoka County and this approval now needs to be renewed. The property owner of 708 119th is new since the time of that approval but is part of the application.
The applicants’ lot line between 704 and 708 119th Lane NE is at an angle making it difficult to build a detached garage in the rear side yard of 704 119th Lane NE. The new lot line would straighten out the angle for the rear portion of the lot allowing area to build a detached garage. The neighbor at 708 119th Lane NE has agreed to shift the lot line between the two properties. There will be no loss of square footage for either applicant since both lots will gain and lose 694 square feet. The proposed garage would need to meet the zoning requirements for an R-1 district including setbacks and garage size once the lot line has been adjusted. There is currently a paved driveway, and this paved driveway will be required to be extended to the detached garage after garage is constructed.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
