RESOLUTION 2002-24 APPROVING A 46 -FOOT VARIANCE TO PERMIT A 2,520 SQUARE FOOT POLE BUILDING TO BE LOCATED CLOSER TO THE ROAD THAN THE HOME ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7215137TH STREET NORTH. WHEREAS, an application has been filed by Thomas and Reenae Glidden that requests approval of a variance to permit a 2,520 square foot pole building to be located closer to the road than the home on property located at 7215 1374` Street, as legally described as follows: Insert Legal WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Appeals and Adjustments has reviewed said variance at a duly called public meeting and recommends approval of the 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 variance for Thomas and Reenae Glidden on property located at 7215 137x' Street North, subject to the following conditions: 1. Variance is approved to allow a 2,520 square foot pole building to be located in front of the home in accordance with the application dated May 30, 2002, subject to the following conditions: 2. The pole building shall only be used for the storage of personal belongings and vehicles. 3. The variances are approved based on the following findings: a. The variance as requested is permissible bylaw. The requested variance is from the dimensional requirements of the ordinance and is permissible by law. b. The strict enforcement of the ordinance would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property not caused by the landowner. The hardship is unique to the property because the setback of the home far exceeds the 40 -foot minimum front yard setback required by ordinance. The increased setback of the home and the zoning ordinance requirement for the pole building to be no closer to the road than is the home creates a unique hardship. Additionally, the applicant wishes to maintain the alfalfa field that is currently behind the home and does not have easy access behind the home because of the location of the drain field. c. The granting of the variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance.
