NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE: FINDINGS 1. The Planning Commission held a hearing on April 28, 1997 to review (1) a 23 foot variance request to permit a 52 foot setback from the ordinary high water mark of prior lake (904 e1.) rather than the minimum requirement of 75 feet, and (2) a 26 foot variance request to permit a 4 foot setback from the top of bluff rather than the minimum requirement of 30 feet, and (3) a 16 foot variance request to permit a 4 foot setback within the bluff impact zone rather than the required 20 feet for a proposed single family dwelling as drawn in Exhibit A, for Pinnacle Partners in order to permit the construction of a single family dwelling on property 16200 EilgwUDc:tl6rksMutj~~tisiln!br-lhlt~ Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (61:Ppgel17-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER located in the R-l (Suburban Residential) District and the SD (Shoreland Overlay) District at the following location, to wit; 15408 Red Oaks Road, legally described as Lot 22, Red Oaks Road 2. The Planning Commission reviewed the variance requests as contained in Case File #97-028, and denied the setback variance requests based on the lack of hardship determined upon review of the hardship criteria set forth in the City Code. 3. The Prior Lake City Council reviewed this appeal on June 16, 1997. 4. The City Council has considered the effect of overturning the decision of the Planning Commission 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. 5. The City Council has reviewed the hardship criteria in relation to the setback variance requests for the proposed structure as shown in Exhibit A. 6. The City Council has determined that there are no unique circumstances or conditions regarding the property that are not the fault or cause of the applicants. 7. 8. The City Council has determined that literal enforcement of the ordinance will not result in undue hardship, as the applicant's can build a structure on the property within the legal building envelope. 9. The contents of Planning Case File #97-028 are hereby entered into and made a part of the public record and the record of the decision for this case. CONCLUSION Since the application was received and reviewed by the Planning Commission, the City Council has amended the OHW setback on General Development Lakes to be 50 feet, rather than the previous setback of 75 feet. Therefore, the 23 foot variance request to allow a OHW setback of 52 feet rather than the required 75 foot OHW setback is irrelevant. Based upon the Findings set forth above, the City Council hereby denies the setback variance requests and concurs with the recommendation of the Planning Commission to deny (1) a 26 foot variance request to permit a 4 foot setback from the top of bluff rather than the minimum requirement of 30 feet, and (2) a 16 foot variance request to permit a 4 foot setback within the bluff impact zone rather than the required 20 feet for a proposed single family dwelling as drawn in Exhibit A, Case No. 97-028, for Pinnacle Partners on property located at 15408 Red Oaks Road Passed and adopted this 16th day of June, 1997. r:\council\resoluti\planres\res97-51.doc Page 2 YES NO Andren x Andren Kedrowski x Kedrowski (vacant) (vacant) Mader absent Mader Schenck x Schenck { Seal} r:\council\resoluti\planres\res97-51.doc Page 3 PINNACLE PARTNERSHIP . 1.4093 COMMERCE AVENUE N.E.
