WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Appeals and Adjustments has reviewed said variance at a duly called public meeting and recommends approval of the variance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUGO, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the requested variance for Steve and Janine Frogner on property located at 14091 Fountain Avenue, subject to the following conditions: 1. A 75 -foot side yard setback variance is approved to construction of a swimming pool approximately in accordance with the application and plans dated August 13, 2001. 2. A building permit shall be required prior to constructing the swimming pool. 3. The variance is 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 land owner. The building setback was 75 feet from Egg Lake at the time the home was constructed. Since this time, the City has amended the ordinance to increase the setback from 75 feet to 100 feet. As such, the reduced setback does not allow the applicant to make any structural improvements in the rear yard, including the construction of a pool.
