F �U, SOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCES TO THE GENERAL BUSINESS
i PUBLIC
STEPHEN JOHNSON
WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission has reviewed and heard
testimony regarding the application of Stephen Johnson, 2945 Lake Elmo Avenue, for a
Zoning Ordinance variance to the setback requirements in the General Business (GB) and
Public Facilities (PF) Zoning Districts with respect to the following described parcel of
land; to wit:
The property is located at Upper 33rd Street, east of Lake Elmo
Avenue and north of the Union Pacific Railroad Tracks
identified as Geo Code 13- 029 -21 -32 -0088.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Lake Elmo Planning
Commission does hereby make the following findings concerning said variance:
The lot size (6/10 acre) and shape (21.25 to 1 Aspect Ratio) constitute unique
circumstances not generally applicable to other properties in the GB or PF
zoning districts.
2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of Section 300 would result in over
lapping setbacks, and the inability to construct off street parking in any
reasonable configuration.
3. The parcel, even following enlargement by combination with an adjoining
parcel, results in the unique circumstances created by property owners other
than the applicant.
4. There is no other property owners with the exact unique circumstances
presented in this case. Therefore approval of the variances would not result in
conferring a special privilege on the applicant not available to others.
5. There is no other site design that would reasonably mitigate the hardship.
6. Granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to other property
in the GB or PF district, nor the purposes of Section 300.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVER, that the Lake Elmo Planning Commission
hereby approves the variances to the setback requirements in the General Business (GB)
and Public Facilities (PF) Zoning Districts.
ADOPTED by the Lake Elmo Planning Commission the 8th day of November,
1999.
