WHEREAS, parcel "F" will require a 79.5 foot lot width variance from the required 150 foot lot width requirement at the OHW; and WHEREAS. parcel "F" will also require a 54 foot lot width variance from the required 150 foot lot width requirement at the lakeshore setback. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the requested minor subdivision and variances on April 9, 2007, and recommended approval of the requested minor subdivision and variances with conditions; and, WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed the requests on April 17, 2007, and made the following findings of fact: 1, The land being divided is nearly large enough to support three lots based on the minimum lot size requirement of the R-1 district, The two proposed lots resulting from the minor subdivision will still be the two largest lots on the NE corner of Lake Elmo. Therefore the proposed use is a reasonable use of the Property, 2. The "pie shape" of the existing property is unique and was not created by the Property owner. 3. Neither City staff nor the DNR find that any environmental impacts will result from the granting of the variance that could not otherwise occur. 4. The development of the property for one additional home site will not change the character of the neighborhood, 5. An access from 32nd Street for the new parcel will increase traffic safety and is required by the City code, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo hereby approves the requested minor subdivision on the property; and, as illustrated and surveyed by Landmark, Inc. on March 21, 2007, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo hereby approves a 79.5 foot lot width variance from the required 150 foot lot width requirement at the OHW for proposed parcel "F;" and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo hereby approves a 54 foot lot width variance from the required 150 foot lot width requirement at the lakeshore setback for proposed parcel "F;" and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the approval of the requested minor subdivision and variances shall include the following conditions: 1.
