WHEREAS, Mr. Phillip H. True has applied for a Front Yard Setback Variance for a
Garage Addition at 660 Brookside Lane [Smith T. T. Subdivision No. 3, Lots 1 &2, PIN: 27-
69702- 020 -05] as proposed in Planning Case #06 -06; and
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this application at their
regular meeting on March 28, 2006; and
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission voted to recommend that the Council approve
the 12 -Foot Front Yard Setback Variance for a Garage Addition as presented to the Planning
Commission on the evening of March 28, 2006 and as shown in Planning Case #06 -06;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Mendota Heights that a 12 -Foot Front Yard Setback Variance for a Garage Addition at
660 Brookside Lane as proposed in Planning Case #06 -06 is hereby approved.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in support of the above approval, the Council
1. The variance is necessary in order to put the property to reasonable use. Expansion of
the home to the north would necessitate the loss of a bedroom.
2. There are unique circumstances pertaining to the applicant's property not caused by the
owner that create a sufficient hardship to justify the requested variance. The topography
of the property prohibits expansion to the west of the house.
3. Approval of the requested variance will not alter the essential character of the
neighborhood.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the 12 -Foot Front Yard Setback Variance for a
Garage Addition for 660 Brookside Lane as proposed in Planning Case #06 -06 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 18th day of April, 2006.
