NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HOPKINS, MINNESOTA, that application for Variance VN07-3 not to have frontage on a
public right-of--way is hereby recommended for approval based on the following Findings of
Fact:
1. That the City is not required to maintain a public road to the subject parcel.
2. That a private road will service both lots.
3. That the parcel will have a permanent easement to the private road.
BASED ON THE FOREGOING FINDINGS OF FACT, the City Council of the City of
Hopkins, Minnesota, hereby determines that the literal enforcement of the requirement for a lot
to have frontage on a public right-of--way 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, that the variance not to have frontage on a public right-of--way is reasonable.
