Planning & Zoning Board <br />Sullivan Variance <br />September 11, 2002 <br />Comment: There is no special privilege involved but, rather, a need/hardship that is <br />site - driven. Other properties with similar site constraints would also be valid <br />candidates for a Variance such as this one. <br />5.) That the proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the <br />ordinance. <br />Comment: The Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance states that a double garage is a <br />building requirement for property located in the Rural zone. Granting this Variance <br />would allow the applicants to comply with this requirement. <br />CONCLUSION <br />This application for a Variance is driven by three site constraints: location of a septic <br />system, well, and a pond. Each of these constraints prevent siting the proposed garage in <br />a location next to, or behind, the house, in compliance with the Lino Lakes Zoning <br />Ordinance. As a result, staff feels there is a demonstrated need/hardship that is site - <br />driven and quantifiable, and so justifiable. Staff would recommend approval of the <br />proposed Variance with the following condition: <br />1.) Any constructed garage must meet the required 40 -foot setback from Wood <br />Duck Drive. <br />OPTIONS <br />1.) Recommend approval of the Variance. <br />2.) Recommend denial of the Variance. <br />3.) Return to staff with direction. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Option #1 <br />• <br />
