ITEM 3.2. <br /> ty of MEMORANDUM <br /> • <br /> lk }� TO: Board of Adjustment <br /> River <br /> FROM: Scott Harlicker, Planning Assista P. <br /> DATE: April 22, 1997 <br /> SUBJECT: Request by Scott LaPlante for <br /> Variance, Public Hearing Case <br /> No. V 97-2 <br /> Request <br /> Consider a request by Scott LaPlante for a 5 foot variance to the required 20 <br /> foot rear yard setback. The variance is requested in order to construct a 14' X <br /> 14' porch. <br /> Location <br /> 13104 180th Lane NW, Lot 20, Block 2, Mississippi Oaks <br /> Attachments <br /> • Location map <br /> • Letter from applicant <br /> • Site plan <br /> • Map of 180th Lane showing homes with decks <br /> Background <br /> According to Section 900.20 (6) of the Zoning Code, open porches can <br /> encroach into the rear yard setback. However, the applicant is proposing to <br /> enclose part of the deck and make it a 3 season porch and therefore would not <br /> be allowed to extend into the setback. The part of the deck that is not <br /> enclosed could extend into the setback. <br /> In June 1994 a building permit was issued for a single family house, at that <br /> time the proposed porch and deck were not included. The house was <br /> constructed with a upper level sliding glass door which was intended to <br /> provide access to a rear deck or porch. The applicant is now proposing to <br /> construct a 14' X 22' porch/deck combination to the rear of his house. This <br /> porch/deck will require him to encroach 5 feet into the rear yard setback. <br /> • <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
