WHEREAS, William Isaacson, 8017 50th Street North, requested a side yard
setback variance and front yard set back variance to accommodate construction of an
attached two stall garage.
WHEREAS, at its May 10, 2004 meeting, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission
held a public hearing at which time the Commission tabled the application to allow

recommended approval of the amended application that reduced the requested setback
variance from 8.5 feet to 4 feet; and, increased the requested front setback variances from
6 feet to 10 feet, per plans staff dated May 20, 2004 based on the following findings:
1. Due to the unique shape of the land parcel and its partial frontage on an
unused street right-of-way, reasonable use of the property by the applicant
would include a garage structure of the size and at the setbacks proposed by

2. There are circumstances unique to the property, as noted by Finding No. 1,
that form the basis for the variances requested.

neighborhood.
