CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 02-46 RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED ACCESSORY SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 907 OAK LANE WHEREAS, the City has received an application for a Variance from the maximum allowed accessory square footage, and WHEREAS, Section 3, subd. 4.D.8.g of the Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance requires accessory building square footage be limited to 1,120 square feet for a property of this size and zoning classification, and WHEREAS, a 1,200 sq.ft. detached garage already exists on the property, and WHEREAS, the granting of a Variance would allow the applicant to construct a 630 square foot attached garage onto his proposed house, and WHEREAS, the Lino Lakes City Council makes the following findings of fact: 1. The pre-existing detached garage on the property precludes any additional accessory square footage without a Variance. In particular, the existence of the garage precludes construction of an attached garage, which is a requirement for property of this size and zone (Section 5, subd. 2.C.3). 2. The garage was constructed by the previous owner and not the prospective buyer. 3. City Ordinance requires an attached garage on property of this size and zone, but such a garage is precluded by the existence of the 1,200 sq.ft. detached garage already on the site. 4. Granting the Variance will not allow any special privilege beyond allowing the applicant to comply with a conflicting requirement of the City Ordinance. 5. Granting the Variance will allow the applicant to comply with City Ordinance NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Lino Lakes City Council approves the proposed Variance, as described by the attached document entitled "Surveyors Certificate for Lot 28, Block 2, Lake View Woodland," by Hy -Land Surveying, P.A., dated March 7th 2002. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the following conditions of approval apply: 1. The lot size Variance and Minor Subdivision (Thorp/901 Oak Lane) is approved by the City Council before this Variance can be effective.
