RESOLUTION 11-03PC
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A 65 FOOT VARIANCE FROM THE REQUIRED MINIMUM LOT
WIDTH TO ALLOW FOR THE SUBDIVISION OF A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY WITHIN THE
SHORELAND DISTRICT
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. Carter Christie is requesting a 65 foot lot width variance from the required minimum lot width for the
subdivision of a residential property within the Shoreland District at the following location, to wit-,
6002 150th Street NE, Prior Lake, MN 55372
Tract A, REGISTERED LAND SURVEY N0421,01, Scott County, Minnesota.
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for the variance as contained in Case #11-
120 and held a hearing thereon on August 22, 2011.
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance 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 variance on the Comprehensive Plan.
4. Practical difficulties exist for the property owners to transfer the ownership of a 7,464 square foot
area of land. The properties will not increase in nonconforming lot width as a result of the land
transfer. The property owners propose to use the property in a reasonable manner, the manner by
which it is currently utilized, under which the current lot widths are not permitted by the Zoning_
Ordinance.
5. The granting_ of the lot width variances are within harmony of the general purposes of the
Ordinance. The property is designated for low density residential development under the
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance and the granting of the variances will achieve the
purpose of the Zoning Ordinance to "promote the most appropriate and orderly development of the
residential, business, industrial, public land, and public areas." by allowing for the property to be
legally designated as a registered land survey.
6. The variances are necessary to use the property in a reasonable manner, the manner by which it is
currently utilized, under which the current lot widths are not permitted by the Zoning Ordinance.
7. The practical difficulty in this case is due to the unique shape of the existing properties. The
applicant does not proposed to increase the nonconformity of the lot widths of the lots under the
proposed registered land survey but rather intends to alter the length of the lots.

6. The granting of the variances will not alter the character of the neighborhood. The neighborhood
along 150th Street includes many residential lots which also have existing nonconforming lots widths
such as these properties.
9. The proposed uses of the property are single-family residential dwellings which are a permitted use
within the R-1 (Low Density Residential) Zoning District.
10. The current proposal does not involve any proposed solar energy systems.

variance to allow for the subdivision of a residential property into a property legally described by a
registered land survey zoned R-1 (Low Density Residential), as shown on the registered land survey

A 65 foot variance from the required minimum 90 lot width requirement in the Shoreland
Ordinance (Section 1904.302 (3)).

1. This resolution must be recorded at Scott County within 60 days of adoption. Proof of
recording, along with the acknowledged City Assent Form, shall be submitted to the Planning
Department prior to the issuance of a building permit.

Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on August 22, 2011
