iVARIANCE FEASIBILITY - PLEMMONS • Planning and Zoning Board March 10, 1982 Page -2- Mr. Plemmons explained that his property is located at the very southwest corner of Lino Lakes on County Road J. and he would like to divide his property into three homesites. He is facing a financial problem. Mr. McLean read Section 5.05 of Ord- inance #56, Variances and Appeals which states that variances may be granted if a hardship is being created by the shape or the condition of the parcel in question. In this case the hardship is not with the land. Mr. Prokop noted this area is designated as Expansion Residential in the Lino Lakes Land Use Plan, one house per five acres and as a Board preferred to not grant spot rezones. Mr. Plemmons explained his financial condition and said this is the only way out of his situation. There was further discussion regarding the Land Use Plan and that the Land Use Plan is a guideline and the Zoning map and the Zoning ordinances have not been implemented. The Board suggested several buy back plans. Mr. McLean noted that the moratorum has expired regarding dividing property (Ord - inancd #78) and our present ordinances say that parcels of property of 21/2 acres or more can be split and sold without a variance or without City approval. Mr. McLean suggested dividing Mr. Plemmons parcel into two 2.9 acre home sites with each parcel containing at least 150 feet frontage and recording them at the County. Mr. Prokop said that although the City has adopted a Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the support ordinances are not in place yet therefore, there is this loop hole. Mr. Plemmons asked if the Planning and Zoning Board could act on a request for the variance on the plan he presented (3 homesite). Mr. McLean explained that this was not possible since he had not completed the necessary variance forms and had not paid the fee. Mr. Prokop said the best the Planning and Zoning could do tonight was recommend a division into two 22+ acre lots since Mr. Plemmons needs to resolve this before April 16, 1982 and the Council would not be able to consider the var- iance before April 26, 1982 without going to a Special meeting. Mr. Plemmons thanked the Board for their time and suggestions. OLD BUSINESS Mrs. Klaus asked about theplanned City tour and Mr. McLean said that arrangements have tenatively have been made for the 20th of March to use the Civil Defense van for the tour at 9:00 a.m. at City Hall. Mrs. Klaus asked about the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the zoning map. Mr. McLean said the Planning and Zoning Board would make recommendations to the Councl regarding the map. Barton- Aschman have already submitted a map to the City that is much like the map in the Land Use Plan. The actual zoning map will be in much more detail, areas more defined. Mr. Reinert made a comment about the Charter Commission but I could not pick this up off the tapes. NEW BUSINESS Mr. McLean asked about the life of a building permit. Mr. Kluegel stated that the
