To permit an aspect ratio of 5.25:1 for Lot 1 where the Zoning Ordinance specifies a maximum of 3:1.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lake Elmo Planning Commission does
hereby make the following findings concerning said variance:
1. There does exist extraordinary circumstances that do not generally apply to other parcels in this
zoning district.
The literal interpretation of the applicable Zoning Ordinance section will deprive the landowner
of the right to preserve reasonable property rights.
The circumstances are the result of prior permitting actions of the City, and not the applicant.
4. The variance will not confer upon the applicant privileges denied to other property owners within
this zoning district.
The variance is the minimum logical action that will alleviate the circumstances.
6. The variance will not be detrimental to the purposes of this section, or to other property in this
zone.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Lake Elmo Planning Commission hereby approves
and issues this Order.
ADOPTED, by the Lake Elmo Planning Commission this 11th day of January, 1999.

Thomas Armstrong, Chairman
