• • CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 05-61 RESOLUTION APPROVING A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR MARSHAN MEADOWS AND A VARIANCE FOR LOT 2, BLOCK 3 WHEREAS, the City has received applications for developing an area known as Marshan Meadows; and WHEREAS, the development requires approval of a preliminary plat; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the Planning & Zoning Board on April 13, 2005; and WHEREAS, the proposed preliminary plat meet the requirements of the City's Growth Management, Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances; and WHEREAS, as required by Section 2, Subd. 4 of the zoning ordinance, the City Council makes the following findings of fact regarding Lot 2, Block 3: a. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. b. That the plight of the landowners is due to physical circumstances unique to his property not created by the land owner. c. That the hardship is not due to economic considerations alone if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance. d. 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. e. That the proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. f. Lots 1 and 2, Block 3, are ample size regarding area and width. Block 3 is bounded by the northern property boundary and Lake Drive. The need to create a road connection to the north and to align a road with the existing Park Court create the east and south boundaries of Block 3. Shoreland lot areas and setbacks prevent moving the new Stage Coach Trail east to allow Lot 2 to be larger and have a full lot depth in an east/west measurement. This is a unique situation due to these factors, and granting a lot depth variance for Lot 2, Block 3 is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Lino Lakes hereby approves the preliminary plat for Marshan Meadows with conditions.
