CITY OF LAKEVILLE
DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RAVEN LAKE THIRD ADDITION
VARIANCE
FINDINGS OF FACT
On December 18, 2014 the Lakeville Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled
meeting to consider the application of NITI, LLC for a variance from Section 10-3-5.V of the
Subdivision Ordinance in conjunction with the preliminary plat of Raven Lake Third Addition.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed variance preceded by
published and mailed notice. The applicant was present and the Planning Commission heard
testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The subject property is zoned RS-2, Single Family Residential District.
2. The subject property is located in Comprehensive Planning Districts 1 and 2, which guide
the property for low density residential uses.
3. The proposed legal description of the property that the variance is requested for is:
Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Raven Lake Third Addition
4. Chapter 6 of the City of Lakeville Zoning Ordinance provides that a variance may not be
issued unless failure to grant the variance will result in practical difficulties and unless
certain criteria are satisfied. The criteria and our findings regarding them are:
A. That the variance would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan guides the property for low density residential uses as
proposed with the Raven Lake Third Addition preliminary and final plat.
B. That the variance would be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of
this ordinance.
The two single family lots in Raven Lake Third Addition can achieve gravity sanitary
sewer flow and positive drainage away from the foundations of the houses, meeting the
intent of Chapter 10-3-5.V of the Subdivision Ordinance.
C. That the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property
not created by the landowner.
The design of the Raven Lake Second Addition plat approved in 1997 included partial
right-of-way for an eyebrow cul-de-sac to be located on the west side of Jaguar Path that
would provide street frontage and access for the development of future single family lots
on the Raven Lake Third Addition property. The Subdivision Ordinance no longer allows
eyebrow cul-de-sacs and staff does not support the construction of an eyebrow cul-de-
sac to serve the two single family lots in Raven Lake Third Addition. Platting the right-of-
2
way in an eyebrow configuration allows enough street frontage for the development of
two single family lots meeting the RS-2 District lot width requirement.
D. That the purpose of the variance is not exclusively economic considerations.
Grading impacts and retaining wall construction would be reduced with the granting of
the variance.
E. That the granting of the variance will not alter the essential character of the
neighborhood in which the parcel of land is located.
The single family homes to be constructed in Raven Lake Third Addition will fit in nicely
with the surrounding Raven Lake single family neighborhood.
F. That the requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the
practical difficulty.
The proposed building floor elevations for the two single family lots in Raven Lake Third
Addition are supported by Engineering staff provided the developer grades an overflow
swale between the two homes within the drainage and utility easement located along the
shared side lot line and provided the driveways are graded to direct runoff away from the
garage opening and the house.
G. Variances may not be approved for any use that is not allowed under this title for
property in the zone where the affected person’s land is located.
Single family homes are a permitted use in the RS-2 District.
5. The planning report dated December 11, 2014 prepared by Planning Director Daryl Morey is
incorporated herein.
