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.
