Overview: During the recent Lakeville Planning Commission meeting, the commission approved a variance for a single-family home garage that was mistakenly built smaller than city code requires. The garage, located at 4824 171st Street West, was constructed with an interior area of 481 square feet and a width of 20 feet, falling short of the city’s minimum requirements of 540 square feet and 22 feet in width. The error was discovered after the property was conveyed to the homeowners, prompting a request for a variance to legalize the structure as built. The commission approved the variance.
