A RESOLUTION REGARDING Zoning Ordinance VARIANCES
Frauenshuh Company - 8980 Hudson Boulevard
WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission has reviewed and heard testimony
regarding the application of Frauenshuh Company, to vary from the standards of Section 300.07
Subd. 4.K.5 of the Municipal Code, with respect to the property located at:
8980 Hudson Boulevard North
WHEREAS, said variance is described as follows:
1. To permit a lot area of 1.4 acres where 3.5 acres is required.
2. To permit a setback of 30 feet from a building to a property line where 150
feet is required because the adjacent property is zoned residential
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lake Elmo Planning Commission
does hereby make the following findings concerning said variance:
1. The circ"tarnstances of this parcel are exceptional in that it is a substandard
Lot of Record created by City zoning classification actions of recent date.
Only one other lot now zoned Business Park exhibits similar circumstances.
2. The literal interpretation of Business Park standards and provisions would
deprive the applicant of rights enjoyed by others of property within the
Business Park Zoning District.
3. The circumstances that result in the variance requests are not the result of
actions by the property owner. It is the City that recently amended the
zoning of the parcel, and applied the new Business Park standards.
4. No special privilege will result to this property owner not enjoyed, under
similar circumstances, by other Business Park property owners.
5. The variance requested appears to be the minimum necessary to alleviate the
hardship while permitting construction of the minimum building footprint,
as also required by Business Park standards.
b. A hardship exists - not self imposed by the applicant - that is related to the
physical characteristics of the sire which are the result of recent zoning
district and design standards that are inconsistent with the shape and size of
an historic lot of record.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Lake Elmo Planning Commission hereby
approves and issues this order based upon the following condition:
1. Subject to redevelopment of the site responsive to the Site Plan staff -dated February
7, 2001.
ADOPTED, by the Labe Elmo Planning Commission this 26`h day of Febzuary, 2001.
