CITY OF LAKE ELMO <br />WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2004-046 <br />A RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FOR WILLIAM ISAACSON <br />LOCATED AT 8017 50" STREET NORTH <br />WHEREAS, William Isaacson, 8017 50th Street North, requested a side yard <br />setback variance and front yard set back variance to accommodate construction of an <br />attached two stall garage. <br />WHEREAS, at its May 10, 2004 meeting, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission <br />held a public hearing at which time the Commission tabled the application to allow <br />William Isaacson to consider amending the scale of the request. <br />WHEREAS, at its May 24, 2004 meeting, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission <br />recommended approval of the amended application that reduced the requested setback <br />variance from 8.5 feet to 4 feet; and, increased the requested front setback variances from <br />6 feet to 10 feet, per plans staff dated May 20, 2004 based on the following findings: <br />1. Due to the unique shape of the land parcel and its partial frontage on an <br />unused street right-of-way, reasonable use of the property by the applicant <br />would include a garage structure of the size and at the setbacks proposed by <br />I <br />he applicant's graphics dated May 20, 2004. <br />2. There are circumstances unique to the property, as noted by Finding No. 1, <br />that form the basis for the variances requested. <br />3. Granting of the variance will not change the essential character of the <br />neighborhood. <br />WHEREAS, at its June 1, 2004 meeting, the Lake Elmo City Council approved a <br />side yard set back variance of 4 feet and front yard set back variance of 10 feet for garage <br />construction for William Isaacson, 8017 501h Street North, per plans staff dated May 20, <br />2004, <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lake Elmo City Council <br />approves a side yard set back variance of 4 feet and front yard set back variance of 10 <br />feet to William Isaacson for garage construction at 8017 50th Street North, per plans staff <br />dated May 20, 2004, based on the findings of the Planning Commission. <br />
