Council Member Carlson introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 07-74 RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO THE LOCAL STREET SETBACK FOR THE PROPERTY AT 8020 DANUBE STREET. WHEREAS,the City has received an application for a porch addition to the dwelling at 8020 Danube Street; and WHEREAS, the development requires approval of a variance to the local street setback of 30 feet; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the Planning& Zoning Board on May 9, 2007; and WHEREAS, as required by Section 2, Subd. 4 of the zoning ordinance, the City Council made the following findings of fact regarding both lots: f. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. The property is currently developed with a single family home that can easily be put to areasonable use without the addition of a porch covered with a roof structure. g. That the plight of the landowners is due to physical circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. The existing structures lack of a significant entry feature and the placement of the existing home only 15 inches from the front setback are physical circumstances that were not created by the current landowner. h. That the hardship is not due to economic considerations alone if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance. The request made by the property owner has nothing to do with economic considerations; the placement of the home on the lot when it was constructed simply prohibits the addition of the proposed covered porch under the strict enforcement of the zoning ordinance.
