WHEREAS, an application for a variance has been made by William Jafvert; and WHEREAS, the procedural history of the application is as follows: " " , ii 1. An application for a variance was filed with the City of New Brighton on March 30, 1990. 2. The Planning Commissionpursuant to published and mailed notices, held a public hearing on April 17 , 1990, and all persons present at the hearing were given an opportunity to be heard. 3. The City Council considered the application for VN -278 on April 24, 1990. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council makes the following Findings of Fact in respect to VN-278: i, , 1. The property is zoned R -1, Single Family Residential. 2, The required lot width in an R-1 district is 75 feet. 3. The proposed minor subdivision would create a 65 foot wide lot (Lot 2) and an 85 foot wide lot (Lot 1). 4. The applicant is requesting a 10 foot lot width variance for Lot 2. 5. A slope runs north/south over proposed Lot 1 and east/west over proposed Lot 2 causing a natural grade separation at a point 85 feet from the north property line of proposed Lot 1 . 6. Proposed Lot 2 is developed with a single family home which would be setback 25 feet from the proposed property line separating proposed Lots 1 and 2. 7. Strict enforcement of the R-1 district lot standards would cause the owner an undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration. 8, The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the subject property not created by the landowner. 9. The requested 10 foot lot width variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. 10. The neighborhood, specifically 12th Avenue NW, is developed with several principal and accessory structures which are in violation of the R-l district front yard setback due to limited buildable lot area caused by the steep slope which parallels Long Lake at this point. 11. The subject lot 2 (18,268 sq. ft.) would exceed the R-1 district minimum lot area standard of 10,000 square feet. I, Ii i; i L I' 11 :; j; " , I i
