i, f PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MEETING March 8, 1989 After further discussion, a motion was made. MOTION: Fred Chase moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the request to grant a street easement for Aspen Lane Extended. Sally Kuether seconded the motion, and the motion was approved unanimously. 7:16 p.m. REQUEST FOR A SETBACK VARIANCE IN SUNRISE MEADOWS FROM THE CITY OF LINO LAKES. APPLICATION *89 -10 In the summer of 1988, the city council approved a final plat for Jack Menkveld's Sunrise Meadows Subdivision. The development will provide 103 single- family and sewer - available lots. The city council has approved a trunk sewer location that will follow the north -south Antelope Drive. However, to get the trunk line to the catholic church land immediately north of Sunrise Meadows, utility easements 50 feet wide must be obtained from Menkveld. The easement would be located between lots 6 and 7 of Block 1 of Sunrise Meadows with 25 feet on each lot. Sunrise Meadows is in the R -1 Single- Family Residential Zoning District. Required front yard setbacks are 30 feet and sideyard setbacks are ten feet on the house side and five feet on the garage side. The Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance and Minnesota law require that six findings of fact be made before a variance is granted. They are: 1. That the property in question can not be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. 2. That the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the land owner. 3. That the hardship is not due to economic considerations along 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 not unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within the neighborhood. Page 2
