City of Lake Elmo Washington County, Minnesota WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission, at its July 24, 2006 meeting conducted a Public Hearing where they reviewed the Variance Application and Section 520 Site Plan for C & C North America on Outlot C, EAGLE POINT BUSINESS PARK, and recommended approval with conditions. WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo City Council, at its August 2, 2006 meeting reviewed the Variance Application and Section 520 Site Plan for C & C North America on Outlot C, EAGLE POINT BUSINESS PARK, the recommendation of staff and the Planning Commission, and made the following Findings with regard to the Variance Application: 1. The property can not be put to reasonable use without the granting of the variance requested. 2. The variance requested results from a circumstance unique to this property. The brief sharp meander of the tributary stream - which otherwise flows generally straight - adjacent to a portion of the site places an unreasonable burden on the design of the site and placement of structures. 3. Granting of the variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhood.
