WHEREAS, the matter was heard and considered by the
Planning Commission, and the Planning Commission made no
recommendation on a motion that the variance be denied with a
tied vote of 2 in favor and 2 against, and
WHEREAS, the matter was heard before the City Council
on November 14, 1983. The comments of the public were
considered, and
WHEREAS, the Council directed the City Attorney to draw
a resolution denying the request.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Shorewood:
1. The City Council finds the following facts:
a. That applicant owns a home on property
described as Lot 1, Block 12, Minnetonka Manor, which is zoned
R-2.
b. The property in question measures 105 feet by
77 feet and is 8,085 square feet.
c. That the R-2 zoning district requires minimum
lot sizes of 20,000 square feet.
d. Sometime in the past the house was converted to
a two-family dwelling constituting a non-conforming use in the
R-2 zone. The house violates setbacks on all sides with the
exception of the south side.
e. The non-conforming second dwelling unit is an
apartment built over an area that appears to have been intended
as a garage on the east side of the structure.
f. That the apartment does not meet the building
code standards in terms of access, light, ventilation and fire
protection.
e

g. That the property in question is non-conforming
in that it is on a lot that is sub-standard in area. The
structure does not conform to the setback requirements and is a
two-family dwelling and non-conforming in an R-2 district.
h. That the request constitutes an expansion of a
non-conforming use.
i. That in order to allow the request of applicant
it would be necessary to grant variances to the Shorewood zoning

that he invested in the property as a double unit and was unaware
that the property could not be improved and that it was necessary
to maintain the property to bring it up to standard codes.
k. That applicant has not established a hardship
necessitating a variance within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes
and City Ordinances.
CONCLUSIONS
