Correspondence - 2421 Black Lake Road - 5/28/2021CITY OF SPRING PARK
SPRING PARK, MINNESOTA
Date: August 1 1982
Location: 2421 Black Lake Road Spring Park
Legal Discription: Lot 11, Rose Lawn
Request: variance for garage placement
Zoning District: Residential
Applicant: Kenneth Sporre
Phone: 533-4716
The applicant is requesting to place a 14 ft x 20 ft detached single
car garage on a floating slab 5 ft. from the house, 12 to 15 ft from
the front property line, and 6 ft from the south side property line.
The proposed garage will be relocated from across the street. In the
past, a property owner had requested the lot across the street be
combined to Lot 11, Rose Lawn but the City Council denied the requested
combination because the roadway would split the property.
The present lot is an undersized 4,882 sq. ft lot required lot size is
10,000 sq. ft. The present home is 758 sq. ft. The present home is
35 ft from the lakeshore, the required footage is 75 ft and 2.8 ft from
the north side line. required is 10 ft. The zoning ordinance
requires two (2�roperty
parking spaces. The existing chain link fence is in
the public right-of-way easement.
Recommend: The lot, side yard, front and lakeshore setbacks are non-
conforming. The topography of the lot is such that the lot falls off
toward the lake approximately 8 ft. from the front building line to
the back of the house. Presently, they have two (2) plus open parking
spaces. If a single car garage is to be placed on the lot with the
garage doors facing the street a parallel head -in parking stall could
be placed in front of the garage which would meet the 2 parking space
requirement.
Recognizing the shallowness of the lot and the topography, and that
no owner of a non -conforming use can be denied a resonable use of his
property, I would recommend approval of the variance request to place
the detached garage 55 ft to 61 ft from the lake and 12 ft to 15 ft
from the property line. It appears feasible to get MCWD approval after
discussing the proposal with Cliff Reep, of Hickok & Associates.
Sincerely
Jan Bertrand
Building Inspector

Dear Bill:
RECEIVED
AUG 0 2 2004
CITY OF SP. PK.
In response to your letter of July 19, 2004 asking for a current Hardcover Calculation Worksheet for the
existing lot of record at 2421 Black Lake Rd, which falls below R1 lot and width standards, the enclosed
two hardcover views are provided. Additionally, the following comments are offered for consideration.
I was caught by surprise with your letter. As you know I have made pain staking attempts to follow all
construction ordinances as I planned and executed the construction plans for the remodeling of the
family dwelling at the stated location. Since, the denial of the one, side yard variance request I made
via the Planning/Council process in November 2002,1 have strived to stay within all ordinances and
regulations, requiring no variances in the construction process. The remodeling occurred utilizing the
same existing foot print, adding a city permit approved garage and deck. I also maintained the pre-
existing location for the gravel driveway and concrete slab to the west of the house. I have enclosed
pictures of these pre-existing items for your viewing (the concrete slab (n disrepair) is underneath the
wood planking in which the hot tub sits). And lastly, the building inspector has been involved
throughout the building and inspection process to avoid surprises and to ensure compliance.
I have provided two hardcover calculations, both are my best representation of the geography, with the
square footage being the difference; one based on Hennepin county tax records and the other from the
latest survey dtd 1/13/04. Based on the ordinance definition of hardcover, °Impervious" — Webster
defined as: "Incapable of being penetrated or affected", I excluded the pre-e)asting gravel driveway and
gravel side piece of the yard (the driveway was pre-existing and both have no plastic underneath, i.e.
are penetratable). I have included in the calculation, items which I feel should not to be included
sidewalk (which is partially pervious), deck (which has open ground underneath it and seems to be
listed in the ordinance as a partially pervious item (but no calculation is provided for a partial pervious
items)) and lastly, a portion of the concrete stab (area not covered by the sun room calculation (that
covers the majority of the slab)) which was apart of the pre-existing foot print of the structure.
Even with the questioned hardcover items included in the calculation the hardcover calculation shows
27.68% and 25.03% respectively. Keep in mind that the subject plot also seems to qualify for status as
falling below R1 size standards as well. I hope all of this proves my compliance with the intent of the
hard cover ordnance requirements. Please respond in writing with your decision in this matter.
Sincerely,
C. P. Snow

Holly and Carl Spaeth

Spring Park, MN 55384
Claim Number: PCO032370
Trust Member: Spring Park
Date of Loss: 6/19/14
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Spaeth;
CONNECTING & INNOVATING
SINCE 1913
This letter is in regard to your liability claim against the City of Spring Park for damage to your
property as a result of a sanitary sewer backup on or about 6/19/2014.
The City of Spring Park has liability coverage with the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance
Trust (LMCIT). As you know, I am a claims adjuster for LMCIT and will be handling this loss on
behalf of the City of Spring Park.
After very careful consideration and investigation of your claim against the City of Spring Park for
water/sanitary sewer back-up related damages, we believe that the City of Spring Park is not
responsible for your property loss.
Our investigation has concluded that during the late evening and early morning of June 181h
and 191h, 2014, the City of Spring Park experienced a severe rainfall event which exceeded the
design capacity of the city's collection systems. The heavy rainfall caused water from flooded
streets to infiltrate into the city's sanitary sewer system. The sanitary sewer became inundated with
the extra water, resulting in a sewer back-up into your home.
As you may have heard, the City of Spring Park does carry no-fault sewer back-up coverage
through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. This coverage does not apply for this
occurrence because your loss was caused by a catastrophic incident. A catastrophic incident is a
rainfall which exceeds the amount determined by the National Weather Service to constitute a 100
year event.
Although the city truly regrets your loss, we have made a determination that the city is not
responsible for the loss and, therefore, we must deny your claim.
