Minor or no impact on the existing city infrastructure (sanitary sewer, water main, storm sewer, and surface water). �'� Examples of other flag lots in Roseville include: 331 Burke Street, 794 & 891 County Road B, 455 County Road B2, 1965 Victoria Street, 382 North �cCarrons Blvd., 2180 South Highway 36 Service Drive, 1955 Cleveland Avenue, 423 South Owasso Blvd., 204 Woodlynn Avenue, 481 Roselavvn Avenue, 397 & 405 Minnesota Avenue, 2478 Hamline Avenue. and 2192 Acorn Road. �. L r] State Statute 462357, subd. 6(2) provides authority for the city to "hear requests for variances from the literal provisions of the ordinance in instances where their strict enforcement would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and to grant such variances only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. "Undue hardship" as used in connection with the granting of a variance means the properry in question cannot he put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls, the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the properry not created by the landowner, and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance....The board or governing body as the case may be may impose conditions in the granting of variances to insure compliance and to protect" �. I L Staff analysis of undue hardship factors is as follows: A. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls: The site is a very large single family parcel (0.83 acres) that is difficult to maintain and currently being underutilized. The parcel also lies in an area where other lots/parcel� have great depth and /or width, and where other flag lots exist, making it difficult to combine properties for proper land division. The parcel is more conducive and appropriate for division versus others in the neighhorhood. Given these features and constraints, the Community Developmeut Staff has determined that this larger property can be put to a reasonable use under the of�cial controls if a variance is granted to the lot frontage requirement of the Roseville City Code. B. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner: The Boschee parcel is a large, unique parcel in this neighborhood that lies in an area where the mix of lot widths and depths do not lend themselves to further division, a result of land division occurring over many decades, and land division that did not include the Boschee parcel. The rear portion of the Boschee parcel could be divided and attached to other lots directly adjacent, but that action would result in additional land locked parcel(s} or other lo�s/parcels with similar issues and constraints as the Boschee's current situation. With that said, the Community Developmeut Staff has determined that the PF3669 - RCA 092605 Page 4 of 10
