VARIANCE REQUEST WORKSHEET

A variance allows the use of property in a manner otherwise forbidden by a zoning ordinance by varying one or more of the performance standards such as lot size, setbacks, etc. Variances from official zoning controls are defined under Minnesota Statutes 394.27 and require the landowner to prove that the property could not otherwise be used or enjoyed in the proposed way by complying with ordinance requirements and that there will be no negative impact on surrounding properties.
It is advisable that you discuss your request with Planning and Community Development staff prior to submitting the application. Approval or denial of your request is dependent on the justification you provide in answering the questions on this application. For more information, please check our website at: www.stlouiscountymn.gov/VarianceRequired

VARIANCE REQUEST INFORMATION

Complete this form along with the Land Use Permit Application

What kind of variance request is this?
If this is a Variance After the Fact, you must answer additional questions below.

Variance Request

Describe what you are varying from and the situation that makes it difficult to comply with county ordinances.
If your proposal includes a structure, please also list the length, width and height of the structure.

Existing septic and leech field at the 100 foot setback. Prefer to not risk the environmental and health impacts of disturbing the soil, replacing and hauling it away. If I were to go further back, there is an existing power easement that I would prefer to stay away from. 12 other properties on the bay. 11/12 are within 50 feet of the shoreline, so moving my cabin back to 75 feet would remain in conformity with the existing aesthetic and neighborhood. 2 large maple trees would also be able to be saved, the home would go on existing driveway, lessening the need to take as many trees out for excavation.

Describe the intended/planned use of the property.

Family vacation property. Have leased this cabin and land for 26 years. Plan to move existing cabin from 40 feet back to 75 feet, and remove 3 "old" structures- the main cabin, sauna (on a foundation and stick built), tool shed and outhouse.

Describe the current use of your property.

Seasonal family cabin. We have docks and a pontoon with lift.

Describe other alternatives, if any.

If approved, how will the proposed use, with the variance, fit into the character of the neighborhood/area?

Exceptionally well.

Describe how neighboring properties and the use of those properties will be impacted by the proposed use with the variance.

No impact whatsoever. The home would be less visible from the lake and not impact the views from any neighboring properties.

Describe how negative impact to the local environment and landscape will be avoided.

Existing health and environmental hazards eliminated as leech field would remain undisturbed. Very few trees would need to be removed as home would be placed over existing driveway. Old growth pine and maples would be spared as well!

Describe the expected benefits of a variance to use of this property.

Include additional comments that will clarify your request for the Planning and Community Development staff members and the Board of Adjustment.

IF YOU ARE RESPONDING TO A PERMIT VIOLATION, PLEASE ANSWER THESE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS

Describe your reasons county zoning ordinance requirements were not followed.

Describe your effort to comply with the ordinance and to obtain a land use permit and/or other required permits.

Describe any substantial investments, construction and/or repairs made to the property before you discovered you needed a variance.

If there was construction or repair, on what date did it begin? What date did it end?

Start Date--

End Date--

Who performed the construction or repair work?

Was a survey of your property boundaries obtained?

Prior to the construction or repair work, did you speak with anyone from the Planning and Community Development Department?

By submitting this application, I certify and agree that I am the owner or the authorized agent of the owner of the above property, and that all uses will conform to the provisions of St. Louis County.
