RESOLUTION NO. 2004-081
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A ZONING VARIANCE FOR
ALBERT AND CAROLINE PRICE LOCATED AT
8384 STILLWATER BOULEVARD
WHEREAS, Albert and Caroline Price, 8384 Stillwater Boulevard, have made
application for a zoning variance from the side yard setback to permit reconstruction of a
two -stall garage 8 feet 5 inches from the west property line where a 10 foot side yard
setback is required.
WHEREAS, at its September 1.3th meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed
and recommended approval of the side yard setback variance at 8384 Stillwater
Boulevard, per the graphics staff dated September 13, 2004 based on the following
findings:
I. The property cannot be put to reasonable use without granting the variance
requested.
2. The variance requested results from physical circumstances unique to the
property. The circumstances of the variance relate to a probable 1968 error in
locating the garage structure to be replaced in the same location. The
amended application proposes a new garage no wider than that proposed to be
replaced.
3. Granting of the variance will not change the essential character of the
neighborhood.
WHEREAS, at its September 2lst meeting, the Lake Elmo City Council reviewed
the zoning variance from side yard setback to permit reconstruction of a garage 8 feet 5
inches from the west property line requested by Albert and Caroline Price, located at
8384 Stillwater Boulevard, per the graphics staff dated September 13, 2004.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lake Elmo City Council
approves the variance for side yard setback for Albert and Caroline Price at 8384
Stillwater Boulevard, per the graphics staff -dated September 13th, 2004, subject to the
following condition:
1. That no driveway or turning area shall be located closer than five feet from
any property line where adequate easement width permits.
2. That there be a tax parcel consolidation of Outlot E with Lot 5 of Beau - Haven.
ADOPTED BY THE Lake Elmo City Council the 21 st day of September, 2004.
