July 19, 2002 <br />Jaime Brown <br />442 Main Street <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />Re: Non - Conforming Pole Barn <br />Dear Mr. Brown: <br />EXHIBIT #' <br />The City received a Land Use application for a Variance for the non - conforming pole <br />bam/shed which was constructed on your property. The application is incomplete, <br />however, as the City received no application fee ($250). In addition, a nay alive and <br />sketch of some kind are also usually submitted (I believe this was explained in the <br />application mstrri a1 s sent to you in April). As a result, staff are unable to proceed with <br />processing the application until all required materials have been submitted. . <br />I would like to take this opportunity to again reiterate that it is certainly your option as a <br />property owner to apply for a Veda' As a staff person dealing with lam use issues, <br />however, I must continue to advise you that such a request for this particular <br />situation/reason cannot be supported by staff. Variances, under City Ordinance, are to be <br />granted only in cases of hardship which are induced by, or uniquely tied to, the property <br />itself Asking for a Variance so that a non - conforming structure can c:ontinm to be <br />utilized — particulatiy when building perms were not pulled for it construction — is not a <br />demonstration of hardship that staff could in any way support under City Ordinance. <br />Although I am sure it is not your solution of choice, it would be my advice to you to <br />either bring the building into compliance or take it down. <br />Tanda Greta <br />Associate Planner <br />City of Lino Lakes <br />
