RESOLUTION 1997-7
CITY OF GRANT
WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA
WHEREAS1 Mr. Scott Kuehl is the owner of a parcel of land located at
10980 Inwood Avenue North in the City of Grant,
Washington County, Minnesota, legally described as: Lot 8, Block 11
Scarlet Estates and,
WHEREAS, Mr. Kuehl has applied to the City for a variance to build
a 1,400 square feet detached accessory building closer to the
front lot line than the principal building; and,
WHEREAS, following a public hearing on the application, the City of
Grant Planning Commission has recommended granting the
variance; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Grant finds that a variance
is appropriate because there is a hardship on the subject
property due to the limited buildable area on the lot where an accessory
building could be located. Specifically, the area proposed for
construction of the accessory building is the best and only feasible
location to build the structure. The property is also limited by
the
location of the existing septic system and the many steep slopes which
exist on the property.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Grant
as follows:
1. The Applicant is hereby granted a variance so as to allow
him to construct an accessory building closer to the front lot line than
the
principal building. Said variance is granted subject to the following
conditions:
a. The new garage shall be built in
such a fashion and in such a style as compliments the house.
Specifically, the exterior must be similar to the exterior design, siding
and color of the home.
b. The Applicant's accessory building
must be located in such a fashion that it does not encroach upon
any of the required setbacks.
c. The Applicant is also approved a
driveway permit for a second driveway leading directly from this
garage to the cul-de-sac.
NOW, THEREFORE, the above-referenced Resolution was declared passed
and adopted by the City of Grant on the 12th
day of November, 1997, and this Findings of Fact is hereby adopted
by the City Council of the City of Grant this 2nd day of
December, 1997.
