The lot price is $55,000. Novak-Fleck is a state-licensed residential building contractor with no enforcement actions. Attached are an aerial photo, builder’s proposal form, and preliminary site and building plans for a new home with an attached three-car garage. The house would have approximately 1,669 finished square feet comprised of 988 square feet on the main level with an open living-dining-kitchen area, two bedrooms and a bathroom and 681 square footage on the lower level, with an additional bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, and family room. The builder does not yet have a buyer for the home at 5612 Adair Avenue North. On this lot a variance reducing the rear yard setback from 30 to 10 feet would be requested by Novak Fleck. For this corner lot the north side of the property is defined as the rear yard and the home will face Adair Avenue on the west side of the property. Because of the lot width there will not be a lot of open space behind the home. Locating the home closer to the north property line will allow for a larger open space on the Bass Lake Road side of the property. Staff would recommend approval of such a variance in order to create that open space. With the variance the new house’s distance from the proposed adjacent home will look about the same as houses with a standard side yard setback. The required public hearing would be scheduled if the EDA gives tentative acceptance of the proposal. REQUESTED EDA ACTION: EDA tentative approval of the purchase proposal with Novak-Fleck for the EDA lot at 5612 Adair Avenue North.

RE: Consider tentative acceptance of proposal by Tollberg Homes for the
lot at 5618 Adair Avenue North
Tollberg Homes has submitted a proposal to purchase the lot at 5618 Adair Avenue
North. The lot price is $55,000. Tollberg is a state-licensed residential building
contractor with no enforcement actions.
Attached are an aerial photo, builder’s proposal form, and preliminary site and building
plans for a new home with an attached three-car garage. The house would have
approximately 1,200 finished square feet on the main level with an open living-dining-
kitchen area, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It would also have unfinished square
footage on the lower level, with an option to have it finished with an additional bedroom,
a bathroom, and family room. Similar homes have been built by Tollberg on other EDA
lots, most recently at 4724 Lakeland Avenue. The builder does not yet have a buyer for
the home at 5618 Adair Avenue North.
Please note that the encroachment of the garage corner into the 30’ front setback is
permitted by the unified development code (UDC) and does not require a variance.
The required public hearing would be scheduled if the EDA gives tentative acceptance
of the proposal.
REQUESTED EDA ACTION: EDA tentative approval of the purchase proposal with
Tollberg Homes for the EDA lot at 5618 Adair Avenue North.
