City Council Meeting Bachman Minor Subdivision & Variance August 26, 2002 Comment: The proposed action would not be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Ordinance, as variances are to be granted only in cases where hardship /unique physical circumstances are present. CONCLUSION The creation of the proposed 11 -acre parcel will not satisfy the 330' lot width requirement for property located in a Rural zone, and thus will also not yield full frontage on a street, as required under the Lino Lakes Ordinance. For these reasons, staff cannot recommend approval of the Minor Subdivision. As there are no hardship issues demonstrated or unique physical circumstances apparent on the property, staff cannot recommend approval of the Variance from the minimum lot width requirements. P & Z RECOMMENDATION The above report was presented at the August 14, 2002 meeting of the Planning & Zoning Board. After consideration of the issues, Board members voted 5 -1 to approve the Minor Subdivision and Variance. OPTIONS 1.) Recommend denial of the Minor Subdivision & Variance 2.) Recommend approval of the Minor Subdivision & Variance 3.) Return to staff with direction. RECOMMENDATION Option #1. If the Council choose to approve the Minor Subdivision and Variance, staff would recommend the following conditions: 1.) A park dedication fee of $1,665, to be paid prior to the certification and recording of the Minor Subdivision. 2.) The applicant shall dedicate to the City drainage and utility easements measuring ten feet in width along the front property line and five feet in width along the side and rear property lines, and covering all ponding and wetland areas. Such dedication shall be in the form of a Quit Claim Deed, per the City attorney. •
