99-10-94
VARIANCE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Rick Kline, of Kline Auto World, applied for a variance from the zoning ordinance.
WHEREAS, this variance applies to property north of 3000 N. Highway 61. The legal description is:
Tract C, Registered Land Survey No. 525
WHEREAS, Section 36-196(h)(3) of the wetland protection ordinance requires a 100-foot-wide wetland buffer.
WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing a 25-foot-wide wetland buffer.
WHEREAS, this requires a variance of 75 feet.
WHEREAS, the history of this variance is as follows:
1. On September 20, 1999, the planning commission recommended that the city council deny this variance.
2. The city council held a public hearing on October 11, 1999. City staff published a notice in the Maplewood
Review and sent notices to the surrounding property owners as required by law. The council gave everyone
at the hearing an opportunity to speak and present written statements. The council also considered reports
and recommendations from the city staff and planning commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the city council approve the above-described variance for the
following reasons:
10-11-99 5
1. Strict enforcement of the code would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the property
and not created by the property owner. The 100-foot-wide wetland buffer requirement would make
development of this site difficult. The difficulty was created by the new ordinance.
2. The variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance, since the applicant would
improve the quality of the wetland buffer substantially over its present state.
3. The city council previously approved a 75 foot variance for the abutting Lexus of Maplewood dealership.
Approval is subject to the applicant doing the following:
1. Submitting a grading and turf-restoration plan subject to the requirements of the city staff and the Ramsey-
Washington Metro Watershed District for the wetland buffer.
2. Dedicating awetland-buffer easement. This easement shall describe the boundary of the buffer and prohibit
any building, mowing, cutting, filling or dumping within the buffer. The applicant shall record the deed for
this easement before the city will issue a building permit.
3. Installing signs at the edge of the wetland-protection buffer which prohibit any building, mowing, cutting,
filling or dumping within the buffer.
