CITY OF HOPKINS HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 2015-071 RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT AND APPROVING A REAR YARD VARIANCE WHEREAS, an application for Variance VN15-2 has been made by Christopher Polston, and WHEREAS, the procedural history of the application is as follows: 1. That an application for Variance VN15-2 was made by Christopher Polston on August 27,2015; 2. That the Hopkins Zoning and Planning Commission, pursuant to mailed notice, held a meeting on the application and reviewed such application on September 29, 2015: all persons present were given an opportunity to be heard; 3. That the written comments and analysis of the City staff were considered. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HOPKINS, MINNESOTA, that application for Variance VN15-2 for a 23-foot rear yard th setback at 145 20 Avenue North to construct a second story on the existing home is hereby approved based on the following Findings of Fact: 1.The existing house was most likely constructed in the 1960s as a garage and has since been converted to a house that is currently 2 feet into the required 25-foot nd rear yard setback. The Applicant desires to construct a 2 story on the house to add a bathroom and 2 bedrooms that would require a rear yard setback. The location for the addition in another location on the property is impracticable due to cost. 2.There exists a practical difficulty because of the location of the existing home. 3.That the variance will not alter the essential character of the surrounding area. 4.That the landowner did not create this circumstance. BASED ON THE FOREGOING FINDINGS OF FACT, the City Council of the City of Hopkins, Minnesota, hereby determines that the literal enforcement of the rear yard setback would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the subject property, that granting of the requested variance to the extent necessary to compensate for such practical difficulties is in keeping with the intent of the Hopkins City Code, and that the rear yard setback variance of 23 feet is reasonable. Adopted this 6th day of October 2015. _______________________ Eugene J.
