RESOLUTION NO. 77-6
CITY OF LAKEVILLE
DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION APPROVING SET BACK AND LOT AREA
VARIANCES FOR AN APARTMENT COMPLEX IN THE
CITY OF LAKEVILLE
WHEREAS, Mr. Brad Johnson is the owner of two apartment
buildings located at Lots 7, 8 and 9, Block 1, Fairfield Addition;
and
WHEREAS, Mr. Johnson has petitioned the City for permission
to construct an additional ten unit apartment building on the
site; and
WHEREAS, said petition reveals that the set back for the
proposed apartment building is ten feet and the City's Zoning
Ordinance requires a thirty foot set back unless a variance is
granted; and
WHEREAS, said petition further indicates that the lot
size requirement is 2,300 square feet less than that required by the
Zoning Ordinance unless a variance is granted; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Johnson has requested the City to grant
the necessary lot size and set back variances; and
WHEREAS, there is a twenty foot drainage easement
contiguous to the proposed apartment building which coupled
with the ten foot set back available on the petitioner's property
would satisfy the set back requirement; and
WHEREAS, the addition of the third apartment building
and the increase in the size of the property dedicated to
the apartment complex would greatly reduce the overall deviation
from the zoning ordinance's lot size requirement; and
WHEREAS, strict compliance with the requirements
of the zoning ordinance would create practical difficulties
and unnecessary hardships due to the characteristics of the
property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the
City of Lakeville:
1. A rear set back variance allowing a ten foot
rear yard set back is hereby granted for the aforementioned property.
2. A 2,300 square foot lot size variance permitting
the construction of an additional ten unit apartment building is
hereby approved.
Dated February 7 , 1977.
