• • DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING March 14, 1990 6. The power line will not conform to the specific standards of this ordinance applicable to the particular use. The reasons for denial of the variance is as follows: 1. The variance request is due to economic considerations of applicant alone. 2. The variance request would grant to the applicant special privilege that would be denied by the zoning ordinance to other structures in the same district. 3. The proposed actions would unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within the neighborhood. 4. The proposed action is not in keeping with the spirit and intent of the zoning ordinance. 9:28 p.m. MINOR SUBDIVISION FOR DARLA LOWELL, APPLICATION *90 -09. Darla Lowell said that when they purchased this parcel it was because they liked the area and that they called the City of Lino Lakes and they purchased a ten acre parcel that was zoned for possible subdivision of 2 1/2 acre parcels. The applicant purchased the parcel with his brother and sister -in -law, with the intention of building homes next to each other. They are located on Elmcrest and their property is adjacent to an easement on the north side of the parcel. The applicant petitioned the city for the street to be constructed. The petition was signed by 50% of the residents, but once the costs were discussed, many of the residents decided they did not want the road. John Miller stated that the parcel that the Lowell's own has 332 feet of frontage of 24th. It has a depth of almost a quarter mile. The Lowells wish to divide the land into parcels 332 x 656 feet. Only one of them would have frontage on 24th Avenue. It is proposed for the other lot to have a driveway from 24th following a road easement on the north side of the first parcel. This parcel is located within the MUSA boundary. Sewer will be available long before 2010. Residential development with sanitary sewer and water will start in 1991 on the city's east side. Page 10
