6.b Public Comments_Brannan 2Rodsjo Variance Public Comments
Received via email 2/1/2022
Good morning, Brenda. The Site meeting at the Rodsjo's property was well attended. I appreciate
everyone that come to the meeting. I have a few questions for the Planning Chair and Committe
members. Would you please forward my questions to the Chair and Committee members of the
Planning Commission and Mayor, and City Council members?
1). Has a Perk test been completed on the identified Site that Rodsjo has chosen for the "Settler Cabin"?
2). Has the Property been surveyed in order to find a more suitable location behind their existing house
or adjacent to their current garage? (Fire Pit area). If so, they would not need to ask for a Variance to
build an 1850 square foot home significantly closer to the main residence of 3,380 square feet.
3). Regarding the driveway to the "Settler Cabin"- is there an ordinance about a second driveway being
constructed off the main existing driveway? If so, what is the footage allowed? I see no area designated
for Parking for this second dwelling which I believe is required.
4). What is the future use of this "Settler Cabin", will it also become an Airbnb? Will this property then
become a commercial property rather that a residential property? This is my biggest concern!
5). If and when this property is sold, will it be sold as an individual property or as two separate individual
Properties? Please note that Rodsjo do not have the 5 acres but 4.4 acres. If sold separate, how will the
City of Scandia handle the division of this property?
Once again, I strongly OBJECT to this Variance being pass, otherwise Scandia will become an area known
for Luxurious Homes and Tiny Houses!
Thank you for listening.
Sincerely,
Pat
