APPROVING FINDINGS OF FACT DENYING VARIANCES TO EXCEED THE
MAXIMUM SIZE PERMITTED FOR AN ACCESSORY BUILDING AND
EXTERIOR FINISH REQUIREMENTS FOR RAYMOND BEHM ON
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6310132ND STREET NORTH
WHEREAS, Raymond Behm has requested variances to exceed the accessory building
size standards and exterior finish requirements on property legally described as follows:
That part of the S1/2 of the S1/2 of the NW1/4 of the SWI/4, Sec. 28, T31,
R21 W.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals has reviewed the variance at
a duly called public meeting, and;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE 1T HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF HUGO, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does deny the variances
requested by Raymond Behm on property located at 6310 132"d Street, based on the
following findings:
1. The applicant has not identified a unique hardship that would warrant the granting
of the requested variances. The applicant canenjoy a reasonable use of the
property with the existing home and 1,950 square foot accessory building.
2. The applicant's desire to have additional accessory building space is a self-created
hardship and is not unique to this individual parcel.
3. The requested variances are not keeping with the spirit and intent of the
ordinance. The City limits the size of accessory buildings in the Rural Residential
zoning district to ensure that the principal use of a property remains residential.
Further, the size restriction helps to limit the amount of impervious surface,
thereby controlling surface water runoff. The requested variances would allow
the applicant to have a total of 4,110 square feet of accessory buildings on this
five -acre parcel, where the ordinance limits the combined size to 2,300 square feet
4. The variances would allow an additional 1,810 square feet of accessory building
space on this five -acre parcel. The proposed building would be visible from
Goodview Avenue and 132nd Street and would not be compatible with the
general character of this rural residential area.
ADOPTED by the City Council this 16`x' day of June 2003. `
