DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION 2011-54
A RESOLUTION DENYING A VARIANCE FOR A DETACHED GARAGE
LARGER THAN 750 SQUARE FEET AT 2242 LEXINGTON AVENUE.
WHEREAS, Paul Elias has applied for a conditional use permit to construct a
detached garage at 2242 Lexington Avenue (PID 27-16400-00-054, S 70 FT OF N 440
FT OF LOT 5) as proposed in planning case 2011 -11; and.
U WHEREAS, the Mendota Heights Planning Commission held a public hearing
on this application at their regular meeting on May 24 and tabled that hearing until June
28,2011;and
WHEREAS, the commission recommended that the council deny the variance as
requested in planning case 2011 -11.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Mendota Heights City
Council that a variance as proposed in planning case 2011-11 is hereby denied with the
following findings of fact:
1. The proposed accessory building is not consistent with the intent of the Zoning
Ordinance in that it exceeds the area limit which the city has determined to be
"reasonable" within residential zoning districts.
2. The amount of accessory storage space proposed upon the subject site could
conceivably occur without need for a variance, via a combination of attached and
detached garages.
3. Approval of the proposed accessory building would set an undesirable precedent
in regard to the allowance of future oversized structures.
4. The proposed accessory building does not constitute a "reasonable" use of the
subject property.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this fifth day of July 2011.
