A RESOLUTION GRANTING A 66 FOOT VARIANCE TO PERMIT A 20 FOOT
LOT VqlDTH AT THE FRONT BUILDING LINE FOR LOTS 7 AND 8,
BLOCK 7, KNOB HILL SECOND ADDITION, DESCRIBED BELOW
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
Gold Nugget Development has applied for a variance from Section 5-4-1 of the City
Code and Zoning Ordinance in order to permit the creation of two lots in the R-1
(Suburban Residential) District on the property described as follows:
Lots 7 and 8, Block 7, Knob Hill Second Addition.
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variance as contained in
Case #97-003 and held hearings thereon on January 27, 1997.
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.
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.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
The unique circumstances applicable to this location of the two proposed lots between
the two wetlands.
The granting of the variance 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 applicants, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
The contents of Planning Case 97-003 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 variance 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 variance for the creation of the two flag lots with frontages of 20'
and identified as Lots 7 and 8, Block 3, on the preliminary plat of Knob Hill North.
Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on January 27, 1997.
