The proposed expansion would convert an existing single stall garage to a standard two-car garage. The property is located on a corner lot at the intersection of 94th Avenue North and Quaker Lane North.

The house faces 94th Avenue North and an attached single stall garage is currently placed 20.1 feet from the right-of-way along Quaker Lane North. Expanding the width of the garage by the proposed 6.5 feet would place the new garage 13.6 feet from the right of way line, resulting in an encroachment of 1.4 feet (1 foot, 5 inches). A variance is requested for the encroachment into the setback. In addition to expanding the garage, the applicant is planning to add on to the rear of their home. The home addition is illustrated on plans included with the application and complies with the zoning code. The added impervious area of the entire project will not exceed the 40% lot coverage limit.

The within the city of amendment contained certain regulatory items, including products requirements for packaging and warning labels, establishes the containing THC maximum individual dosage size, and prohibits sales of products containing THC to anyone under the age of 21. However, the law does not contain any other regulations governing production, sale, or legal compliance, leaving all Maple Grove City Council minutes August 1, 2022 Page 8 such matters to local authorities.
