01-161 Reinert Council Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption. CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 01-161 RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE OF 3.2 FEET TO ALLOW A 6.8- FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK FOR A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING LOCATED AT 6483 CLEARWATER CREEK DRIVE WHEREAS, a request has been submitted to the City Council for a Variance from the City of Lino Lakes Zoning Code, and WHEREAS, the legal description of the property is: Lot 21, Block 5, Clearwater Creek 3`d Addition And WHEREAS, Section 5, subdivision l.B.3.d.2 of the Lino Lakes zoning ordinance states that"The required side yard setback for a principle building in an R-1 zone is ten feet," and WHEREAS, the applicant desires a Variance of 3.2 feet for a building already 90% complete with an existing 6.8-foot side yard setback, and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes makes the following findings of fact: l. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. A Certificate of Occupancy cannot be issued to a property currently in violation of City Code, without a Variance. Re-siting the existing home would be required to correct the violation and meet City Code. This seems impractical for a home that is 90% complete, thus a Variance is needed in order to allow reasonable use.
