• • • J• That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that would be denied by this ordinance to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district. Allowing a 1.5 foot variance to the 27 foot setback (based on the 3 foot encroachment allowed) is very minor in scope at roughly 5% and would not confer onto the applicant any special privilege. That the proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. The spirit and intent of the setbacks required by the ordinance is to allow separation between roadways and homes and to increase visibility at intersections. Allowing a 1.5 foot encroachment that is only 10 feet in width would not violate that spirit or intent. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Lino Lakes hereby approves the Variance to the Local Street Setback for the proposed porch addition to the home at 8020 Danube Street to which the following conditions of approval apply: 1. All materials and construction methods for the proposed addition shall be consistent with that of the existing dwelling. 2. This review is based on the application materials submitted by the applicant on April 9, 2007. Passed by the Lino Lakes City Council this 29th day of May 2007. John J. Bergeson, Mayor ATTEST: Julie Bartell, City Clerk Adopted by the Lino Lakes City Council this 29th day of May, 2007.
