RESOLUTION NO. 2006-058
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A ZONING VARIANCE FOR
JOHN HAMERLY LOCATED AT 9429 JANE ROAD NORTH
WHEREAS, John Hamerly, 9429 Jane Road North, has made application for
zoning variances to allow razing an existing detached garage and replace it with a new
attached garage in nearly the same location on the site.
WHEREAS, at its June 12, 2006 meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed and
recommended approval of the street and side yard setback variances for construction of
an attached garage at 9429 Jane Road, with the following conditions:
The south side yard setback of the attached garage including eaves
shall not be less than the side yard setback of the existing detached
garage including eaves.
2. The applicant shall install rain gutters along the entire south eave line
of the new garage structure to preclude roof drainage from encroaching
on the property to the south with collected roof water directed toward
Jane Road.
WHEREAS, at its June 20th meeting, the Lake Elmo City Council reviewed the
zoning variance to permit John Hamerly, 9429 Jane Road North, to raze an existing
detached garage and replace it with a new attached garage in nearly the same location on
the site, plans staff dated June 12, 2006 based on the following findings:
i . The property can not be put to reasonable use without the granting of the
variances requested. Reasonable use must be defined in the context of the
reasonable availability of locations that comply with R -I setbacks to construct
a garage of the dimensions proposed in a manner that will improve the safety
for motorists on Jane Road North.
2. The variance requested does result from physical circumstances unique to this
property related to the elevations/drainage rated by others from reconstructed
Jane Road to the existing garage; and, the extensive setback of the
house/septic system location resulting in no other location alternative for a
reconstructed garage.
3. Granting of the variance will not change the essential character of the
neighborhood.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lake Elmo City Council
approves the street and side yard setback variances to permit John Hamerly, 9429 Jane
Road North, to replace an existing detached garage with a new attached garage in nearly
the same location on the site per plans staff dated June 12, 2006 and based on the conditions and
recommendation of the Planning Commission.
ADOPTED BY THE Lake Elmo City Counc' . hr-20�',day of June, 2006.
