RESOLUTION 03-102
A RESOLUTION DENYING
AN APPLICATION FOR A SUBDIVISION AND A VARIANCE FOR TWO
ADDITIONAL LOTS AT 1062 WAGON WHEEL TRAIL
WHEREAS, Timothy Gillespie has applied for a Subdivision and Variance for Two
Additional Lots at 1062 Wagon Wheel Trail [Lot 4, Except Westerly 250 Feet, Lot 25, Except
Parcel 226 on MnDOT RW Plat No. 19-37, All in Caroline's Lake View, Dakota County, MN]
as proposed in Planning Case #03-50; and
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this application at their
regular meeting on September 23, 2003; and
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission voted 6-0 (with one Commissioner excused) to
recommend that the Council deny the Subdivision and Variance for Two Additional Lots as
presented to the Planning Commission on the evening of September 23, 2003 and as shown in
Planning Case #03-50.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Mendota Heights that a Subdivision and Variance for Two Additional Lots for 1062
Wagon Wheel Trail as proposed in Planning Case #03-50 is hereby denied based on the
following considerations:
1. This variance is not necessary in order to put the property to reasonable use. The
applicant would be able to put the parcel to a reasonable use if the lots were further
reduced or redesigned to provide adequate street frontage.
2. There is no unique circumstance pertaining to the property not caused by the owner
justifying the variance.
3. The variance requested will alter the essential character of the neighborhood by
creating a lot with less than adequate street frontage.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Subdivision and Variance for Two Additional
Lots for 1062 Wagon Wheel Trail as proposed in Planning Case #03-50 would have an adverse
impact on the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the community and the
surrounding land, and would be adverse to the general purpose and intent of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights
This 7th day of October, 2003.
