CITY OF HOPKINS
Hennepin County, Minnesota
RESOLUTION NO: 88-29
RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT AND APPROVING
APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE VN88-4
WHEREAS, an application for a Variance entitled
VN88-4 has been made by Dan & Kathy Lapham to construct a
single family home on part of Lots 6 & 7, Block 5, Hobby
Acres, with less than the minimum front yard setback.
WHEREAS, the procedural history of the application
is as follows:
1. That an application for Variance VN88-4 was
filed with the City of Hopkins on April 5,
1988.
2. That the Hopkins Planning Commission reviewed
such application on April 26, 1988.
3. That the Hopkins Planning Commission, pursuant
to mailed notices, held a public hearing on
April 26, 198; 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 approves said variance and makes the following
Findings of Fact in respect to VN88-4:
1. A unique circumstance is present due to a 40'
drainage and utility easement on the east side
of the property.
2. That a hardship exists due to the easement and
the shape of the lot.
3. The negative impact of the variance will be
minimized due to the fact the lot in question
is located near an undeveloped right-of-way,
thereby reducing the visual impact of the front
yard setback.
4. Because of the sound barrier there is no
adverse impact on the surrounding properties.
Adopted this 3rd day of May, 1988.
Donald J. Milbert, Mayor
