RESOLUTION 2015-59
RESOLUTION APPROVING VARIANCES AT 2075 MENDAKOTA DRIVE
WHEREAS, Mendakota. Country Club, has applied for variances for construction of an
accessory structure as proposed in Planning Case 2015-25 and described in Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the Mendota Heights Planning Con-unission held a public hearing on this matter
at their regular meeting on July 28, 2015.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that the
variance requests as proposed in Planning Case 2015-25 are hereby approved based on the following
findings of fact:
1. The property's use as a country club/golf course is reasonable and multiple accessory
structures are required for storage of equipment and materials.
2. The Code's accessory structure standards for residential districts cause a practical difficulty for
a country club/golf course due to the size and nature of the use.
3. The proposed accessory structure meets the applicable setback standards.
4. The property already contains numerous accessory structures exceeding the Code requirements
and is screened by perimeter vegetation from surrounding roads and uses.
5. The proposed accessory structure will be constructed of similar materials and colors to match
the clubhouse building and will not negatively impact the character of the neighborhood.
6. The unique nature of the property justifying the variances includes the fact that the property is
more than 100 acres in the R-1 District.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the Mendota Heights City Council that the variance
requests as proposed in Planning Case 2015-25 are hereby approved with the following conditions:
1. The applicant obtains a building permit.
2. The storage pods are removed after construction of the proposed accessory structure is
completed.
3. All grading and construction activity will be in compliance with applicable federal, state, and
local regulations and codes, as well as in compliance with the City's Land Disturbance
Guidance Document.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this fourth day of August, 2015.
