4. 5. 6. 7. 8. C.The hardship to the property lies in its extreme narrowness at the point where the defined lot width is measured. Furthermore, there is no adjacent land available for purchase that would increase the defined lot width to the 200' minimum standard. The Hennepin County Department of Public Works has verified that the County will approve a private driveway access onto County Road 15. Although the property contains a feasible building site, that site is limited by narrowness of the lot and by the designated drainfield sites, hence careful site planning will be required in developing the property. Therefore, it is appropriate that a diagram of the building envelope and drainfield sites be filed with this resolution to make future potential buyers of the property aware of the site limitations. (Refer to Page 6 of this resolution.) The City Council originally granted this variance in 1989 per Resolution No. 2650 and in 1990 per Resolution No. 2829 and finds no changes from the original findings of that resolution. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprchensive Plan of the City. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
