• • • AGENDA ITEM V A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Mary Kay Wyland MEETING DATE: October 11, 2000 TOPIC: Nancy Anderson, 325 Carl Street, Variance DESCRIPTION: This case involves a request for a Variance from the City's Zoning Ordinance, Section 3, Subd. 4.D. Accessory Buildings and Structures, 1. General Provision. c. No detached accessory structure shall be closer to the front lot line then the principal building or its attached garage. Ms. Anderson has an existing home w /attached garage at 352 Carl Street. The property is Zoned Rural and located within the Lino Air Park. There are 23 lots within the Air Park. Four (4) have hangers in front of the dwelling (one of these four is not constructed yet but a Variance was granted in May of 2000), one (1) has an attached hanger, eight (8) have hangers on the side or behind the principal building, eight (8) have no hanger, and three (3) lots remain undeveloped. In considering all requests for variance or appeal and in taking subsequent action, the City shall make a finding of fact: 1. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. 2. That the plight of the landowners is due to physical circumstances unique to his property not created by the land owner. 3. That the hardship is not due to economic considerations alone and when a reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance. 4. 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. 5. That the proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. The proposed hanger will be located approximately 125' from the front property line and 5.5' from the side property line. The existing house & garage is approximately 190' from the front property line. The Ordinance requires a 30' front and 5' side setback requirement. Staff has received a letter form the adjoining property owners indicating no objection to the proposed hanger location. We have also received comments from the Air Park Association indicating this proposed location is optimum for several reasons
