RESOLUTION NO. 2003-005
..
WHEREAS, Eric Svendsen, the property owner, has requested a zoning variance
to place a detached garage structure within the setback from the front property line at
10920 32nd Street North, in accordance with plans staff dated December 31, 2002, and
based on the physical condition of the lot; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission heard evidence at a Public Hearing on
October 28, 2002 and referred the application to the City Council without
recommendation; and
WHEREAS, the City Council considered the application on November 1.9, 2002
and tabled it, and again considered an amended application reducing the degree of
variance applied for on January 7, 200' ) making the following Findings:
1. The applicant cannot get reasonable use of his property without a zoning
variance due to the extreme topography of the site. It is reasonable to
expect a residential site in this climate to have a garage structure.
2. The circumstances of the variance request are topographic and somewhat
unique, and not necessarily created by the property owner.
3. Economic considerations are not the sole basis for the hardship.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council for the City of
Lake Elmo hereby approves a zoning variance for construction of a garage structure at
10920 32nd Street North a minimum of eight feet from the the 32nd Street right -of -way
line in accordance with the plot plan staff dated December 31, 2002.
ADOPTED, by the Lake Elmo City Council on the 7"' day of January, 2003.
