See Attachment A
WHEREAS, the applicant also requests approval of a variance from a setback requirement;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the request at a duly called Public Hearing and
recommended approval, and,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Corcoran City Council approves the request for a
variance subject to the following findings and conditions,
1. The requested variance to allow a 44-foot setback from the property line adjacent to
County Road 10 for Lot 17 Block 1 is approved based on the following findings:
a. That there are practical difficulties in complying with the Subdivision Ordinance.
Lot 1, Block 1 has an existing residence setback roughly 62 feet from the existing
property line which will be reduced to 44 feet from the property line with required
dedication of right-of-way for County Road 10. The existing structure is proposed
to remain in its current location.

c. Thatthe granting of the variation will not alter the essential character of the locality.
The structures exist today in their current capacity. The home was built in the
1960s and is part of the character expected in this area.
d. The proposed variance would be in harmony with the general purposes and intent
of the ordinance. This standard was adopted to provide open green space and
ensure future road expansions will not conflict with existing structures. The area
between the house and County Road 10 has existing vegetation and road
expansions can be accommodated within the newly dedicated right-of-way.
e. The variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The variance does not
conflict with the intent for this area to remain rural with natural areas, planted fields,
hobby farms, and large residential lots.

for increased landscaping.

determine the amount of new plantings required.
2. The applicant is required to record this resolution with the Hennepin County's Recorder's
Office and provide proof of recording to the City.
