APPROVING FINDINGS OF FACT DENYING VARIANCE TO FOR A SIDE
YARD SETBACK FOR A GARAGE ADDITION AT 5995138TH STREET NORTH
WHEREAS, Mike and Diane Hankee have requested a variance to locate a garage eight
feet from the side property line where ten feet is required by ordinance on property
described as follows:
Lot 10, Block 4, Hugo Meadows, Washington County.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals has reviewed the variance at
a duly called public meeting, and;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF HUGO, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does deny the variance
requested by Mike and Diane Hankee for property located at 5995 138th Street based on
the following findings:
1. The applicant has not identified a unique hardship that would warrant the granting
of the requested variances.
2. The strict enforcement of the ordinance would not cause undue hardship because
the applicant would be able to construct a garage addition of reasonable size.
3. The applicant's desire to increase the garage is a self-created hardship and is not
unique to this individual parcel.
4. The spirit and intent of the ordinance would not be met because the entire length
of the proposed garage would extend two feet into the required setback, reducing
the amount of open space intended by the ordinance.
5. The request will change the character of the neighborhood.
ADOPTED by the City Council this 1st day of November
n, Mayor
