DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION 03-108
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
AND 37 -FOOT REAR YARD SETBACK VARIANCE
FOR AN ATTACHED GARAGE AT 1844 DODD ROAD
WHEREAS, Louis Eschle has applied for a Conditional Use Pen -nit and 37 -Foot
Rear Yard Setback Variance for a Attached Garage at 1844 Dodd Road (S 136.8 ft:,. of N
%2 of NE I/4 NW 1/4E of Dodd Rd ex E 801.5 ft. - Section 25-028-23,) PIN 27-02500-010-
26, as proposed in Planning Case #03-53; and
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this application
at their regular meeting on October 28, 2003; and
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission voted 6-0 (with one Commissioner
excused) to recommend that the Council approve the Conditional Use Permit and 37 -Foot
Rear Yard Setback Variance for an Attached Garage as presented to the Planning
Commission on the evening of October 28, 2003 and as shown in Planning Case #03-53.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Mendota Heights that a Conditional Use Permit and 37 -Foot Rear Yard Setback
Variance for an Attached Garage for 1844 Dodd Road as proposed in Planning Case #03-
53 is hereby approved based on the following considerations:
1. This variance is necessary in order to put the property to reasonable use. The
request for encroachment within the rear yard setback area is appropriate due to
the shape of the lot.
2. The positions of the house, well, and drain field constitute a unique circumstance
pertaining to the property not caused by the owner. There appear to be no
alternatives for expansion of the garage other than the rear of the existing garage.
3. The variance requested will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Conditional Use Permit and 37 -Foot
Rear Yard Setback Variance for an Attached Garage for 1844 Dodd Road as proposed in
Planning Case #03-53 would not have an adverse impact on the health, safety, and
general welfare of the citizens of the community and the surrounding land, and would not
be adverse to the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights
This 4th day of November, 2003.
