RESOLUTION NO. 2006-092
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A ZONING VARIANCE FOR
RICHARD AND EILEEN BERGMAN LOCATED AT 11459 601"' STREET NORTH
WHEREAS, Richard and Eileen Bergman, 11459 60t` Street North, has made
application for a zoning variance to allow a second accessory structure on an RR zoned
parcel.
WHEREAS, at its August 28, 2006 meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed
and recommended approval of a variance to allow two existing accessory structures on an
RR zoned parcel based on the following findings:
1. The property can not be put to a reasonable use without the granting of the
variance requested.
2. The variance requested relates to divisions of lands undertaken three decades
ago, by parties than the applicants responsive to zoning standards that differ
from those of 2006. In addition, the 1970's land division actions illegally
created a non - conformity (accessory structure on a parcel without a principal
structure) that will be mitigated by the proposed variance, and therefore the
circumstances are unique to these properties.
3. Granting of the variances will not change the essential character of the
neighborhood. The two accessory structures already exist.
WHEREAS, at its September 6th meeting, the Lake Elmo City Council reviewed
the zoning variance to permit Richard and Eileen Bergman to locate two accessory
buildings on an RR zoned parcel.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lake EImo City Council
approves the zoning variance for Richard and Eileen Bergman, 11459 60t' Street N., to
allow two existing accessory structures on an RR zoned parcel based on the Findings and
subject to the following condition specified by the August 24, 2006 Planning Staff
Report.
Approval of a Minor Subdivision, or a waiver of platting by the City Council, to
create the new parcel that would contain the house and the two accessory
structures.
ADOPTED BY THE Lake Elmo City Council the 6`h day of September, 2006.
