IN THE R-I SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT AND SD-SHORELAND
DISTRICT AT 4660 LORDS STREET.
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
I. McKnight & Associates and Fred W. Mainor (property owner) have applied for
variances from Section 4.2 of the Zoning Ordinance in order to permit
construction of a new residence on property located in the RI-Suburban
Residential and SD-Shoreland districts at the following location, to wit;
4660 Lords Street, legally described on attached Exhibit A, which is
located in Scott County, Minnesota
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the Application for Variance as contained
in Case #V A9512 and held a hearing thereon on July 24, 1995.
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 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 variances
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.
RESOLUTION 95-18PC
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. Among the conditions applying to the subject property which the
Board of Adjustment relied upon are the narrowness of the lot as measured
between the front lot line and the lakeshore, the intrusion of an existing roadway
on the property, the slope of the property to the lakeshore and the time at which
the lot was platted.
6. The granting of the variances is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The variance will not serve merely as
a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable
hardship.
7. The contents of Planning Case V A95-l2 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 this 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 variance has failed to obtain any necessary, required or appropriate permits
for the completion of contemplated improvement.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby grants and
approves the following variance:
1. Variances to permit a front yard setback from Lords Street of 20 feet on the West,
and 17 feet on the East instead of the required 25 feet.
2. A 55 foot variance to permit a lakeshore setback of 20 feet instead of the required
75 feet.
3. A variance to permit a impervious surface coverage of 32.9% instead the
maximum permitted coverage of 30%.
Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on July 24, 1995.
