Plan Evaluation <br />Variance Requirements –Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 <br />Unique Circumstances. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. <br />•According to the Applicant, the Subject Property’s irregular shape creates a practical difficulty due to the curvature of the parcel’s front and side property lines. <br />•The Subject Property is a legal non-conforming lot, as the required side yard setback for corner lots was ten (10) feet when the property was built in 1953. <br />•Other areas on the property were considered for a freestanding garage, but were ultimately not chosen because placements further from the property line would include removing 100+ year old oak trees. <br />•Adding behind the existing garage would involve significant drainage issues and would require major regrading under the drip line of some of the 100+ year old oak trees. <br />15
