A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A PRELIMINARY PLAT AND VARIANCE FOR PROPERTIES
LOCATED AT 6450 & 6470 PIONEER TRAIL (PID 32-119-23-32-0013 & 32-119-23-32-0012)
(CITY FILE NO. 17-025)
WHEREAS, Kenny Doboszenski has requested approval of a preliminary plat and variance to
allow for the replatting of two properties totaling 7.80 acres. The properties are legally described
as:
Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Hales Corner, according to the recorded plat thereof, Hennepin
County, Minnesota
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the submitted preliminary plat at a duly called
Public Hearing and recommends approval, and;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Corcoran City Council approves the request for
a preliminary plat and variance subject to the following findings and conditions:
1. A preliminary plat for two lots is approved, in accordance with the plans received by the
City on August 14, 2017, except as amended by this resolution.
2. Variance from Zoning Ordinance Section §1040.020, Subd. 9 to allow the proposed Lot
1 and Lot 2, Block 1 to be platted as shown on the plans, which does not meet the
minimum lot size and width based on the following findings:
a. The existing Lot 1 and Lot 2 are existing legal non-conforming lots for both lot
size and width. The applicant has a practical difficulty in complying with the UR
(Urban Reserve) standards for lot size and width. The preliminary plat adjusts the
common lot line and both lots would retain their legal non-conforming lot size and
width. Furthermore, if the lots were located outside the MUSA (Metropolitan
Urban Service Area) like the adjacent properties it would comply with the RR
(Rural Residential) standards for lot size and width.
b. The subject property is unique because the two lots do not occupy enough land
for them to comply with the lot size requirements of the Urban Reserve district.
The current lot widths are not being changed from the existing lot widths.
c. The granting of this variance will not alter the essential character of the locality.
The lot size and width are consistent with the surrounding properties.
d. The proposed variance would be in harmony with the general purposes and
intent of the ordinance. Proposed Lot 1 and Lot 2, Block 1 will continue to
preserve urban service areas. The existing legal non-conforming lot width will be
unchanged.
e. The variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan which calls for rural
residential that will provide a transition from a rural environment to a more
urbanized land pattern.
3. No new lots are being created; therefore, no park dedication is required.
