•
Case No: 84 -18
Applicant: Lloyd Swanson
Location: 249 Interlachen Road
Request: Front and Rear Yard Variance to Construct a Single Family Home
STAFF FINDINGS & COMMENTS: Kerrigan
1. This request is in conjunction with a Waiver of the Platting Requirements.
The applicant is proposing construction of a new single family home within
an R -1 -C residential district.
2. The setback requirements for the subject property are as follows:
Front yard 30'
Rear Yard 35'
Side Yard 1 story 10'
2 story 12'
3 story 14'
The plans as proposed by the applicant call for the front yard setback off
of Interlachen Road to vary from approximately 50' to 27', which thus would
require a 3' variance. The rear yard setback varies to a minimum of 22'
adjacent to the Meadowbrook Golf Course property, thus requiring a 13'
variance. The subject structure would comply with the other requirements
of the zoning ordinance.
3. Approval of this variance request would be contingent to the following prior
action occuring
a) approval by the Commission of the lot division and recording a
said division with the Hennepin County Recorders Office.
b) permission by the Hopkins City Council to allow the applicant
to build 11'1" into a public utility easement.
4. The applicant has stated he will contact the property owners directly
adjacent to the subject site concerning the requested action.

NOTE: The purpose of a variance is to provide relief to a property owner when
the strict enforecment of the Zoning Ordinance would cause an undue hard -
ship to the property owner or deny reasonable use of the property.
Hardship to the applicant is the crucial test. Variances will be granted
only in unusual situations which were not foreseen when the Zoning Ordin-
ance was adopted. Economic situations are seldom unique and are rarely
considered a valid hardship.
Hardship A.
Explain why strict enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance would cause undue
hardship:

What are the special conditions (shape of lot, exceptional topographic
conditions, etc.) of this request that are unique to this property and
do not apply generally to other properties in the district?
