Res 2016- 47 Variance at 2165 Timmy StCITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION 2016-47
RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE AT 2165 TIMMY STREET
WHEREAS, Richard Dugan has applied for a variance as proposed in Planning Case
2016-12 and described in Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the Mendota Heights Planning Commission held a public hearing on this
matter at their regular meeting on May 24, 2016.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that
the variance request as proposed in Planning Case 2016-12 is hereby approved with the
following findings of fact:
1. Construction of the proposed deck/walkway within the required setback to access the side
yard and compliant deck structure in the rear yard, through an existing above -grade patio
door, is a reasonable use of the property and meets the purpose and intent of the City
Code and Comprehensive Plan.
2. Due to the subject parcel's existing conditions, a practical difficulty is demonstrated in
order to construct a walkway/landing within the required side yard setback to access a
compliant deck structure from within the existing dwelling and provide safe access to the
side yard.
3. As proposed, the request would significantly reduce the existing encroachment and would
not allow for useable deck space in the side yard or negatively impact the essential
character of the neighborhood.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the Mendota Heights City Council that the variance
request as proposed in Planning Case 2016-12 is hereby approved with the following conditions:
1. The proposed encroachment shall extend no further than four feet from the northwest
corner of the existing dwelling to provide access to the compliant portion of the proposed
deck in the rear yard.
2. Within one year of approval by the City Council, the applicant shall obtain a building
permit for construction of the deck.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this seventh day of June, 2016.
