Board grants setback variance for DSI Properties lean‑to addition
Summary
The Board of Adjustment approved a 47.4-foot variance to permit a 1,500 sq ft lean‑to addition to a 1984 nonconforming structure on 197th Ave NW; the addition is outside shoreland districts and a building permit is required.
Chairperson Roger Johnson read the request from Terrence Kraemer for a 47.4-foot variance from the centerline of 197th Ave to permit a 1,500-square-foot lean-to addition to an existing nonconforming structure at 17275 197th Ave NW.
Terrence Kraemer told the board the building, originally constructed in 1984, will be given a façade update along with the addition. Staff noted the addition is outside shoreland districts and that the parcel’s septic system was upgraded in May 2017. Big Lake Township reviewed the application and recommended approval.
The board approved the variance with two conditions: the applicant must obtain a building permit and the variance is valid for one year. The board’s findings state exceptional circumstances exist because the building predates current road and zoning standards and that granting the variance would not alter the character of the area.
The motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
