T<“ 2. 5. 6. 7. 8. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. This situation is created by the owner's desire to sell three small lots rather than combining them into two lots or one larger lot. A previous sketch plan that was reviewed by the Planning Commission ( #1958) showed three parcels combined for two residential lots. 3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Residential development on this property would be an improvement over the condition of the vacant lot. However, variances for hardcover and structural coverage could impact Lake Minnetonka. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of this chapter. Economic factors are not a consideration with this application. Undue hardship also includes, but is not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Solar access is not a consideration. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance for any use that is not permitted under this Chapter for the projjerty in the zone where the affected person's land is located. Residential uses are allowed in this zoning district. The Board or Council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling. Not applicable. The special conditions applying to the structure of land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. The conditions that apply to this lot are due to the lot size and the relationship of the lot to Shoreline Dr. and Dunwoody Avenue. The adjacent property is also owned by the same property owner. #2276 Brent andJulie Walton 2405 Dunwoody Avenue August 18, 1997 page-4 Z 1
