• • Council Member ReI Inert introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 08-134 RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM THE SHORELAND ORDINANCE 150 FOOT SETBACK FROM THE ORDINARY HIGH WATER LINE OF PELTIER LAKE FOR 1801 77TH STREET. WHEREAS, the City has received an application for a Variance requesting that a home /garage addition be constructed 119 feet from the Ordinary High Water Line of Peltier Lake at 1801 77th Street which is legally described as: Lot 5 Auditor's Subdivision Number 55 Revised, Anoka County, Minnesota ; and WHEREAS, the City's Shoreland Ordinance, in Chapter 1102.07 Subdivision 2, requires that a 150 -foot setback from the Ordinary High Water Level of any Natural Environment Lake (Peltier Lake) be provided for all unsewered structures, and WHEREAS, placement of the proposed addition would extend 21 feet into the required Ordinary High Water Line setback, and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the proposed variance is being requested in order to satisfy the requirement of the Zoning Ordinance that all Rural properties developed with a single family home include a double garage, and attachment of a garage is both a reasonable objective and would keep with the character of the neighborhood since all dwellings within a thousand feet of the subject dwelling include an attached garage. WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the property is unique in the fact that the home was built well over a century prior to the adoption of Ordinary High Water Level setbacks. WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the essential character of the surrounding area will not be altered by this variance as it does not decrease but rather maintains the existing structure's setback from the Ordinary High Water Line, the setback is still roughly 80% of what is required, the setback remains consistent with the surrounding homes.
