RESOLUTION NO: 87-92
CITY OF HOPKINS
HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT AND APPROVING
APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE VN87-9
WHEREAS, an application for a Variance entitled
VN87-9 has been made by Jeffrey Palm, 126 - 20th Avenue
North, to construct a garage at less than the minimum
sideyard setback.
WHEREAS, the procedural history of the application
is as follows:
o
1. That an application for Variance VN87-9 was
filed with the City of Hopkins on September
11,.1987.
2. That the Hopkins Planning Commission reviewed
such application on September 29, 1987.
3. That the Hopkins Planning Commission, pursuant
to mailed notices, held a public hearing on
September 29, 1987; all persons present at the
hearing were given an opportunity to be heard.
4. That the written comments and analysis of the
City Staff and the Planning Commission were
considered.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Hopkins
City Council makes the following Findings of Fact in respect
to VN87-9:
1. A unique circumstance exists due to the pond in
the rear of the lot. This prohibits access
from that side of the lot.
o
2. A hardship exists due to the topography of the
lot. Putting the garage at a lower elevation
than proposed could potentially result in
foundation damage from storm run-off.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that application for
Variance VN87-9 is hereby approved subject to the following
Conditions:
1. An acceptable drainage plan to be submitted to
the City prior to a permit being issued.
o
