Xcel Energy Variance, page 4 c. That the hardship is not due to economic considerations alone if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance. Economic considerations are not a major factor in this proposal, the intent is to minimize the applicant's holdings and center an easement directly over the existing transmission lines. d. 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. There are very few other situations that can be compared to this one. Land locked parcels owned and operated almost exclusively for utility purposes would receive the same consideration. e. That the proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. Combining these properties with the adjacent landowner's parcels will in no way violate the spirit and intent of the zoning ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes hereby approves the variances for lot area, lot width and road frontage. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the variances are subject to the following conditions: 1. The properties must be divided through the minor subdivision process. 2. When ownership of these properties changes hands the new owner(s) are required to combine them with adjacent parcels to avoid creating a new parcel. John J. Bergeson, Mayor ATTEST: Julie Bartell, City Clerk Adopted by the Lino Lakes City Council this 27th day of July, 2009. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Council Member and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: The following voted against same: Whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. •
