Board of Adjustments Minutes Page 5 <br />June 23, 2020 <br />There being no one to speak, Chair Larson -Vito closed the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Thiel stated he understood the need to avoid the septic line but did <br />not feel avoiding a sprinkler line was a reason for a variance. He asked if there was <br />some way to move the structure to somewhere within the 20' setback and still avoid <br />the septic setback. <br />Mr. Leeseberg stated he believed so but was not sure how close it would be to the <br />septic and drainfield as the drawing submitted was not an official survey. <br />Moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Jordan to <br />approve the side yard setback variance request by Eric Flahave for a side yard <br />setback variance of 20' to 10' at 21445 Kennedy St. NW for the following <br />reasons: <br />1. The general purpose and intent of the ordinance are met. <br />2. The property has a land use of residential and the use is <br />consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. <br />3. The proposed use is reasonable and is permitted in the zoning <br />ordinance. <br />4. The plight of the petitioner is due to circumstances unique to <br />the property not a consequence of the petitioner's own action <br />or inaction. <br />5. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. <br />Motion carried 6-0. <br />Any appeals to this variance approval need to be turned in by July 3, 2020, to be <br />reviewed at the July 20, 2020, City Council meeting. <br />6. Adjournment <br />There being no further business, Chair Johnson adjourned the meeting of the Elk <br />River Board of Adjustments at 6:59 p.m. <br />Minutes prepared by Jennifer Green. <br />Tina Allard <br />City Clerk <br />J�son-to <br />tIl arVi <br />fanning Commission Chair <br />NATUREI <br />
