RESOLUTION 2007-34 APPROVING A PROPERTY LINE ADJUSTMENT AND VARIANCE FOR JOSEPH AND MARCIA WOLKERSTORFER FOR PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 16730 JEFFREY AVENUE NORTH WHEREAS, an application has been filed by Joseph and Marcia Wolkerstorfer that requests approval of a property line adjustment and variance for properties located 16730 Jeffrey Avenue North; WHEREAS, the requested variance is from the lot size requirements; WHEREAS, the proposed lot line adjustment would result in four parcels described as follows: (See Attached) WHEREAS, the City Council has fully considered the request for the property line adjustment and variances. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered this request at a public hearing and recommend approval of the property line adjustment and variances. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUGO, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the property line adjustment and variance for Joseph and Marica Wolkerstorfer, subject to the following conditions: 1. A variance from the Agricultural lot width and size is approved in accordance with the following findings: a) The requested variance is permissible by law. b) The size, shape, access, and location of the current parcels are unique characteristics of the property. The owner does not have the ability to build on the parcels separately the way they are now. The property line adjustment will make the new parcels better suited for building sites. This unique circumstance causes undue hardship for the individual properties not caused by the land owners. c) The spirit and intent of the ordinance is to provide requirements for lot dimensions in the agricultural zoning district. The properties do not currently meet the requirements and the property owner is eliminating one of the nonconforming lots in the process with the property line adjustment. Staff feels the property line adjustment meets the spirit and intent of the ordinance.
