subject street, neither the applicant nor the adjoining property owners would have the <br />required access to develop their properties in the future. If indeed a variance is <br />considered to be necessary to consider the plat as proposed, planning staff believes <br />that the request meets the review requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. <br />Summary and Recommendation <br />Lauren Development has requested a variance to plat a cul-de-sac street in excess of <br />500 feet. As noted in this report, the Subdivision Ordinance requires street extensions <br />to provide access to neighboring property, and the City's policy has been to define <br />"reasonable use" as the ability to use private property to the extent permitted by the <br />Zoning and Subdivision regulations. <br />As such, planning staff recommends approval of the variance, based on the following <br />findings: <br />1. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that subdividers extend streets within a <br />proposed plat to neighboring property to provide opportunity for future <br />development. <br />2. There are no other options for access to this property that would provide the <br />opportunity for full development of the subject property, nor to adjoining property <br />that would be consistent with the Subdivision Ordinance. <br />3. A hardship is present, consistent with the requirements of hardship definition, <br />that interferes with the applicant meeting all of the applicable requirements of the <br />Subdivision Ordinance if the street is required to be terminated at 500 feet in <br />length without a variance. <br />4. Without the variance, the applicant will not be able to put his property to <br />reasonable use since much of the area will be inaccessible. <br />5. The proposed cul-de-sac is temporary in nature, with the possibility that the <br />street would be extended into adjoining property in the future. <br />6. When the stub-street is extended to Beam Avenue to the east, the cul-de-sac will <br />no longer exceed the 500 foot regulation. <br />Pc: Kathy Glanzer <br />Steve Westerhaus <br />Lee Elfering <br />Lauren Development, PO box 837, Lake Elmo, MN 55042 <br />
