CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 02417 RESOLUTION APPROVING A MINOR SUBDIVISION & VARIANCE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 855 ASH STREET (LINDAHL PROPERTY) WHEREAS, the City has received an application for a Variance and Minor Subdivision of property, and WHEREAS, the City's zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations provide for and establish requirements for Variances and Minor Subdivisions, and WHEREAS, the proposed Variance and Minor Subdivision apply to property zoned Rural, but which is being subdivided to a size under the minimum lot size requirements for property in a Rural zone, as allowed under the homestead clause of the City's Zoning Ordinance (Section 3, subdiv. 3.A.2.b.2), and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that: 1.) That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. The property is being subdivided according to the homestead clause of the City Zoning Ordinance (Section 3, subdiv. 3.A.2.b.2), which allows minimum lot size below what is normally required under Ordinance. The proposed property can not take advantage of the homestead (which allows lot size down to one acre in size) while also meeting the normal minimum lot size requirements of Ruraly zoned property (which requires lots to be at least 10 acres in size). 2.) That the plight of the landowners is due to physical circumstances unique to his property, not created by the land owner. While the existing lot of record, while meeting the area requirements as prescribed in the ordinance, does not have the necessary frontage required under minimum Rural lot width standards. 3.) That the hardship is not due to economic considerations alone and when a reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance.
