City Council Meeting <br />Sullivan Variance <br />September 23, 2002 <br />5.) That the proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the <br />ordinance. <br />Comment: The Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance states that a double garage is a <br />building requirement for property located in the Rural zone. Granting this Variance <br />would allow the applicants to comply with this requirement. <br />P & Z RECOMMENDATION <br />The above report was presented at the September 11, 2002 meeting of the Planning & <br />Zoning Board. After consideration of the issues, Board members voted unanimously to <br />recommend approval of the Variance, with the conditions noted below. <br />CONCLUSION <br />This application for a Variance is driven by three site constraints: location of a septic <br />system, well, and a pond. Each of these constraints prevent siting the proposed garage in <br />a location next to, or behind, the house, in compliance with the Lino Lakes Zoning <br />Ordinance. As a result, staff feels there is a demonstrated need/hardship that is site - <br />driven and quantifiable, and so justifiable. Staff would recommend approval of the <br />proposed Variance with the following conditions: <br />1.) The proposed garage be placed no closer than 62 feet from Wood Duck Trail, <br />as shown on site plans submitted by the applicant. <br />2.) One of the two existing utility sheds is to be removed, so that the site will <br />contain no more than two detached accessory buildings, as allowed under City <br />Ordinance. <br />OPTIONS <br />1.) Approval of the Variance, with conditions: Resolution No. 02-116. <br />2.) Denial of the Variance. <br />3.) Return to staff with direction. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Option #1 <br />
