Council Member <br />introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />CITY OF LINO LAKES <br />RESOLUTION NO. 07 -74 <br />RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO THE LOCAL STREET SETBACK <br />FOR THE PROPERTY AT 8020 DANUBE STREET. <br />WHEREAS, the City has received an application for a porch addition to the dwelling at 8020 <br />Danube Street; and <br />WHEREAS, the development requires approval of a variance to the local street setback of 30 <br />feet; and <br />WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the Planning & Zoning Board on May 9, 2007; <br />and <br />WHEREAS, as required by Section 2, Subd. 4 of the zoning ordinance, the City Council made <br />the following findings of fact regarding both lots: <br />f. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under <br />conditions allowed by the official controls. <br />The property is currently developed with a single family home that can easily be put <br />to a reasonable use without the addition of a porch covered with a roof structure. <br />That the plight of the landowners is due to physical circumstances unique to <br />his property not created by the landowner. <br />The existing structures lack of a significant entry feature and the placement of the <br />existing home only 15 inches from the front setback are physical circumstances that <br />were not created by the current landowner. <br />h. That the hardship is not due to economic considerations alone if reasonable use <br />for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance. <br />g. <br />The request made by the property owner has nothing to do with economic <br />considerations; the placement of the home on the lot when it was constructed <br />simply prohibits the addition of the proposed covered porch under the strict <br />enforcement of the zoning ordinance <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />
