COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HOPKINS, MINNESOTA, that application for Variance
VN11-14 to reduce the area for a lot from 12,000 to 10,653 square feet is hereby recommended
for approval based on the following Findings of Fact:
1. That 132 Interlachen Road does have a circumstance peculiar and unique to
the parcel.
2. That the lot is unbuildable without the variance.
3. That the applicant will not have reasonable use of the property without the
granting of a variance.
BASED ON THE FOREGOING FINDINGS OF FACT, the Zoning and Planning
Commission of the City of Hopkins, Minnesota, hereby determines that the literal enforcement
of the 12,000 square-foot minimum lot size in the R-1-C zoning district would cause an undue
hardship because of circumstances unique to the subject property, that the granting of the
requested variance to the extent necessary to compensate for such hardship is in keeping with the
intent of the Hopkins City Code, and that the variance of 1,347 square feet is reasonable.
Adopt d this 30th day of August 201 l.
