RESOLUTION 97-18PC
A RESOLUTION GRANTING A .28 FOOT VARIANCE TO PERMIT A 49.72
LOT WIDTH AT THE FRONT YARD SETBACK INSTEAD OF THE
REQUIRED 50 FEET* TO BUILD ON A SUBSTANDARD LOT
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment ofthe City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. Hillcrest Homes has applied for variances from the Zoning Ordinance in order to
permit the construction of a single family dwelling with attached garage on property
located in the R-1 (Suburban Residential) District and the SD (Shoreland Overlay)
District at the following location, to wit;
16091 Northwood Road, legally described as Lot 92, Northwood.
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variance as contained in
Case #97-109 and held hearings thereon on November 10, 1997.
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variances upon
the health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property
values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variances on the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, it is
possible to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance will not
result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties,
unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, and
danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort,
morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and
Comprehensive Plan.
5. The special conditions applying to the subject property are unique to such property,
and do not generally apply to other land in the district in which such land is located.
The unique circumstances applicable to this property include the substandard lot size,
the fact that the property was platted prior to the incorporation ofthe city.
6. The granting of the variances are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The variances will not serve merely as a

convenience to the applicants, but are necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
The factors listed above do not allow for an alternative location of the proposed
structure without variances.
7. The contents of Planning Case 97-109 are hereby entered into and made a part of the
public record and the record of decision for this case. Pursuant to Section 5-6-8 of the
Ordinance Code these variances will be deemed to be abandoned, and thus will be
null and void one (1) year from the date of approval if the holder of the variances has
failed to obtain any necessary, required or appropriate permits for the completion of
contemplated improvements including the future structure, yet to be designed.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby grants and
approves the following variances for future development on the lot meeting required
setbacks;
1. A .28 foot variance permitting a 49.72 foot lot width at the required front yard setback
instead ofthe required 50 foot lot width.
Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on November 10, 1997.

building setbacks are increased one foot for every additional foot of height or if the
proposed structure is among other things a church spire.
There are no specific hardship criteria to review. Therefore, the Planning Commission
can review the variance request to some other unspecified hardship criteria or can
approve the variance because it is a church spire and the City outright allows for
variances for church spires.
Staffhas concluded the height variance request is substantiated because it is permitted
upon approval by the Board of Adjustment with or without justification of hardship
findings.

B. Case #97-109 Hillcrest Homes requesting a .28 foot variance to permit a lot
width of 49.72 at the front yard setback instead of the required 50 feet to be
buildable for a single family dwelling for the property located at 16091 Northwood
Road.
Planner Jenni Tovar presented the staffreport dated November 10, 1997.
L:\97FILES\97PLCOMM\PCMIN\MNl1 l097.DOC 2
The Planning Department received a variance application from Hillcrest Homes who is
proposing to remove an existing structure and construct a new single family residence.
The lot is 49.72 feet wide at the 25 foot minimum required front yard setback. Section 5-
8-12 of the City Code requires substandard lots have a minimum lot width of 50 feet to be
buildable. Because the City Code does not specify what measurement distances are in,
the setbacks and other numerical ordinance requirements cannot be rounded. Thus, the
existing lot width at the front yard setback is less than 50 feet requiring a variance. No
specific house plans have been drawn up at this time. However, all setbacks will be met
as well as imperious surface coverage. The lot is located in the Northwood subdivision
on Prior Lake.
Staff has concluded the criteria are not met.
Comments from the public:
Applicants were present to answer questions.
Winston Simonson, 16807 Northwood Road, questioned the lot ownership. Chris
Deanovic of Hillcrest Homes said the applicant, Paul Lemke signed a purchase
agreement.
Comments from the Commissioners:
V onhof:
· The lot has a large square footage, but an unusual configuration.
· Believe the hardship criteria has been met. It looks like a survey error.
. Grant the variance.
Kuykendall:
· Questioned the dimension of the lot at the property line. Tovar responded it was
49.67.
. Supports the item.
· Suggests adding a provision to round up to the nearest foot.
Stamson:
· This variance meets all four criteria.
Cramer:
. Meets criteria.

NOVEMBER 10, 1997
INTRODUCTION:
The Planning Department received a variance application from Hillcrest Homes
who is proposing to remove an existing structure and construct a new single
family residence. The lot is 49.72 feet wide at the 25 foot minimum required front
yard setback. Section 5-8-12 of the City Code requires that substandard lots
have a minimum lot width of 50 feet to be buildable. Because the City Code
does not specify what measurement distances are in, the setbacks and other
numerical ordinance requirements cannot be rounded. Thus, the existing lot
width at the front yard setback is less than 50 feet requiring a variance. No
specific house plans have been drawn up at this time. However, all setbacks will
be met as well as imperious surface coverage. The lot is located in the
Northwood subdivision on Prior Lake.
DISCUSSION:
Lot 92, Northwood was platted in 1911. The property is located within the R-1
(Suburban Residential) and the SO (Shoreland Overlay) district. There is a bluff
on the property. The applicant does not own either of the adjacent parcels. Lot
attributes are as follows:

Area 23,035 sq. feet 7,500 sq. feet N/A
(above 904 el)

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
The legal building envelope is approximately 35 feet wide and 295.15 feet deep,
resulting in an area footprint of approximately 10,330 sq. feet. The applicant
does not have a house designed yet, but intends to comply with all building
setbacks and impervious surface. The DNR has verbally stated they do not
object to the proposed variance.
VARIANCE HARDSHIP STANDARDS
1. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue hardship
with respect to the property.
This criteria goes to whether reasonable use can be made of the property if
the Ordinance is literally enforced. The variance request to lot width is an
existing condition. There is a hardship with respect to the property because
those dimensions cannot be changed to meet the criteria of the ordinance.
2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique
to the property.
The unique circumstances is the lot width. Considering that those are
existing conditions created in 1911 and they cannot be altered to meet the
ordinance requirements, hardships does exist for lot width. The property was
originally platted as 49 feet plus or minus.
3. The hardship is caused by provisions of the Ordinance and is not the
result of actions of persons presently having an interest in the property.
The lot is considered to be substandard. While the lot area is 23,035 sq. feet,
the lot width is only 49.72 at the required front setback. These are conditions
which have been existing since the property was platted in 1911. The lot
width is a hardship that is not the result of the applicant's actions.
4. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Ordinance, produces
substantial justice and is not contrary to the public interest.
The intent of a minimum lot width of 50 feet to be buildable is to allow for a
structure that can meet the required setbacks and still be of a reasonable
size. Considering that adjacent lots are of similar size and have existing
structures upon them, the granting of the variance will not be contrary to the
public interest.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has concluded the variance request for lot width is substantiated with
hardships pertaining to the lot that the applicant has no control over..
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the variances requested by the applicant, or approve any variances
the Planning Commission deems appropriate in the circumstances.
2. Table or continue discussion of the item for specific purpose.

RESOLUTION 97-18PC
A RESOLUTION GRANTING A .28 FOOT VARIANCE TO PERMIT A 49.72
LOT WIDTH AT THE FRONT YARD SETBACK INSTEAD OF THE
REQUIRED 25 FEET TO BUILD ON A SUBSTANDARD LOT
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. Hillcrest Homes has applied for variances from the Zoning Ordinance in order to
permit the construction of a single family dwelling with attached garage on property
located in the R-1 (Suburban Residential) District and the SD (Shoreland Overlay)
District at the following location, to wit;
16091 Northwood Road, legally described as Lot 92, Northwood.
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variance as contained in
Case #97-109 and held hearings thereon on November 10, 1997.
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variances upon
the health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property
values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variances on the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, it is
possible to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance will not
result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties,
unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, and
danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort,
morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and
Comprehensive Plan.
5. The special conditions applying to the subject property are unique to such property,
and do not generally apply to other land in the district in which such land is located.
The unique circumstances applicable to this property include the substandard lot size,
the fact that the property was platted prior to the incorporation of the city.
6. The granting of the variances are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The variances will not serve merely as a

convenience to the applicants, but are necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
The factors listed above do not allow for an alternative location of the proposed
structure without variances.
7. The contents of Planning Case 97-109 are hereby entered into and made a part of the
public record and the record of decision for this case. Pursuant to Section 5-6-8 of the
Ordinance Code these variances will be deemed to be abandoned, and thus will be
null and void one (1) year from the date of approval if the holder of the variances has
failed to obtain any necessary, required or appropriate permits for the completion of
contemplated improvements including the future structure, yet to be designed.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby grants and
approves the following variances for future development on the lot meeting required
setbacks;
1. A .28 foot variance permitting a 49.72 foot lot width at the required front yard setback
instead of the required 25 foot lot width.
Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on November 10, 1997.

RE: Recording of Approved Variances
Dear Chris:
The purpose of this letter is to advise you the resolution approving a variance to
lot width granted on property located at 16091 Northwood Road must be
recorded within 60 days of approval or the variance will be null and void per
Section 5-6-6 of City Code. Enclosed are two certified copies of the original and
a copy for yourself. One of the copies is to be recorded at the Scott County
Recorders office by January 9, 1998. The other copy is to be stamped as
recorded by the recorders office and returned to the Planning Department as
proof of recording. A building permit will not be issued until proof of recording is
submitted. Also, if for any reason, you choose not to build as approved in
Resolution 97-18PC, your variance will be voided one year from the approval
date of November 10,1997.
If you have any questions about this matter, please contact me at 447-4230.
Sincerely,
