92 Planning and Zoning Page Three January 9, 1985 Mr. Hansen's application was then changed to a rezone from R2 to ER after some discussion as to what would be the best zoning to change to, and also to include a variance of frontage requirements. Mr. Cody moved that the amended application of Bruce Hansen, 6980 Lake Drive, Lino Lakes for a rezone from R -2 to ER be granted. In addition he recommended that the amended application for a variance as to the frontage required on Lake Drive be granted based on the fact that the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the conditions allowed by official controls; that the plight of this particular applicant is due to circumstances unique to this particular property; that the hardship created by the parti- cular property is not due to economic considerations alone; that the granting of this particular variance will not infer onto Mr. Hansen any special privilege that would be denied by this zoning ordinance to other land structures, buildings in the same district; that the proposed action of Mr. Hansen for a variance will not unreasonably diminish or impair the property values with the adjoining neighbor- hood; and that the application for a variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of our particular zoning ordinance.
