Board of Adjustments Minutes Page 2 <br /> October 26,2021 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Ron Touchette — 18557 68t1'Place, Maple Grove,has worked with MnDOT for two <br /> years to resolve some logistical details resulting in the US Highway 10 project and <br /> the effects on this parcel. He felt this variance request was the best option for his <br /> situation. He requested due to MnDOT installing the new sidewalk and driveway <br /> incorrectly on Friday that the side yard setback be changed to 1' to allow for the <br /> garage eaves and gutters from protruding over the property line. He indicated the <br /> renters will probably purchase the property. He appreciated the consideration. <br /> There being no one to speak, Chair Larson-Vito closed the public hearing. <br /> Mr. Carlton indicated if the Board of Adjustments felt the request for a 1' setback <br /> was appropriate, they could modify the request and approve a F setback. Staff <br /> recommends maintaining the 2' setback to accommodate runoff, future building <br /> maintenance, and landscaping maintenance. <br /> Moved by Commissioner Beise and seconded by Commissioner Booth to <br /> approve the request by Ron Touchette for a Front and Side Yard Setback <br /> Variance for the property located at 507 Oxford Ave. NW for the following <br /> reasons: <br /> 1.
