Council: variance may be needed for rebuilding after Mill Street house fire
Summary
Council discussed a house fire at 138 Mill Street and noted that because setback requirements have changed since the house was originally built, the homeowner’s plan to rebuild on the previous foundation may require a variance.
At its March 4 meeting the Minnesota City Council discussed a recent house fire at 138 Mill Street and the homeowner’s intent to rebuild on the original foundation. Minutes record that council members noted a change in setback requirements since the home was originally constructed, meaning the homeowner may need to apply for a zoning variance before rebuilding.
The subject was raised during routine council business; the minutes do not record a motion or vote on the matter, nor do they identify the homeowner or provide a timetable for any variance application. The council did not record a formal direction beyond noting the possibility that a variance may be required.
Because the minutes provide no specific next steps or dates, affected parties seeking to rebuild should consult the city’s building department or the clerk for guidance on variance procedures and filing requirements.
The council’s meeting minutes were submitted by Tina Full.
