EAST INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED l0 FEET TO PERMIT AN ADDITION TO AN
EXISTING RESIDENCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE R1 -URBAN
RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT AND SD-SHORELAND DISTRICT AT 3508
SYCAMORE TRAIL.
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Pr/or Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. William B. And Ellen M. Hackett have applied for variances from Section 4 of the
Zoning Ordinance in order to permit an addition to an existing residence on property
located in the Ri-Urban Residential zoning district and the SD-Shoreland District at the
following location, to wit;
3508 Sycamore Trail, legally described as Lot 1, MAPLEWOOD, Scott
County, Minnesota.
The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variance as contained
in Case #VA95-44 and held a hearing thereon on January 8, 1996.
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.
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.

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 its extreme narrowness (the property is 35
feet wide) and its severe slope to the Prior Lake.
The granting of the variances is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The variances w/il not serve merely as
a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable
hardship.
The contents of Planning Case VA95~44 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 variance has failed to obtain any necessary,, required or appropriate permits
for the completion of contemplated improvements.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby grants and
approves the following variances;
A side yard setback of 4.5 feet on the West and a side yard setback of 5.5 feet on
the East instead of the required 10 feet.
These variances are granted with the following terms and conditions;
Impervious surface coverage after completion of the improvements which are
the subject of these variances shall not exceed the current impervious surface
coverage of 34.87%.
