1 CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 17-85 RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION NO. 15-119 FOR 6602 PHEASANT RUN WHEREAS, a request has been submitted to the City to amend Resolution No. 15-119 regarding a variance for an attached garage and detached accessory structure at 6602 Pheasant Run, said property legally described to-wit: Lot 32, Block 5, Lakes Addition No. 2; and WHEREAS, on October 26, 2015, the City Council passed Resolution No. 15-119 approving a 12 foot variance to allow for the construction of an attached garage 28 feet from the lot line along CSAH 34/Birch Street, and WHEREAS, per Resolution No. 15-119, the detached shed in the northeast corner of the lot shall be relocated onto the applicant’s property, and WHEREAS, the property owner thought the variance applied to both the attached double garage and detached shed and relocated the detached shed onto the property 26.8 feet from the south lot line along CSAH 34/Birch Street, and WHEREAS, the property owner requested the variance Resolution No. 15-119 include both the attached double garage and detached shed, and WHEREAS, review and approvals of variances are governed by state statutes and City ordinances, and WHEREAS, the Lino Lakes City Council makes the following Findings of Fact: 1. The variance shall be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance. The general purpose and intent of the ordinance is to establish performance standards intended to assure compatibility of uses, prevent blight and to enhance the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the community. Approving this variance request for an attached accessory structure and detached shed does not pose a threat to the health, safety or general welfare of the neighborhood. In fact, since no attached accessory structure is present on the applicant’s property (6602 Pheasant Run) approving this variance request will enhance the atmosphere in the neighborhood as Lino Lakes requires all dwellings to have, at minimum, a double garage. 2. The variance shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan.
