Possible Hardships to Consider when applying for a hardcover variance:
• the ability to provide adequate parking on your lot, and
- • City Code requires 21,780 s.f. of total lot area—if your lot's area is under this
there may be a small hardship built into the substandard area of your lot.
As mentioned in our meeting, staff will recommend that your project meet the 25%
hardcover requirement for the 75'-250' zone because that is what is consistently
recommended during rebuild situations. However, it is up to the Planning Commission to
City Council to determine if the hardships you present are valid enough to grant you the
requested variance.
TREE REMOVAL
In order to have a tree removed within the 0-75' zone, an inspection should be set up with
Bruce Vang,the Building Inspector. That inspection can be set up by calling the main
City off'ices number at(952) 249-4600. The inspector determines whether there is a valid
reason to remove a tree.
