A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MONTICELLO APPROVING
A VARIANCE TO BLUFF -LINE SETBACK IN THE
MISSISSIPPI WIILD AND SCENIC RIVER DISTRICT
WHEREAS, Diane and Dale Bergstrom are requesting a variance to the setback
requirements from the bluff -line in the R-1, Single Family and MWSRR Overlay Districts to
be able to construct an addition on an existing home; and
WHEREAS, the applicant has submitted a site survey illustrating the location of the
proposed addition on the property for review; and
WHEREAS, site conditions support the requested setback variance based on the finding that
practical difficulties result from the configuration of the subject parcel and existing
conforming single-family home; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 5, 2018, on the
application and the applicant and members of the public were provided the opportunity to
present information to the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered all of the comments and the staff
report, which are incorporated by reference into the resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Monticello makes the following
Findings of Fact in relation to the approval of the variance:
1. The applicant has demonstrated practical difficulties in improving the property in a
reasonable manner, due to the configuration of the lot and usable floor plan of the
existing home, which limit reasonable expansion to other directions; and
2. The existing parcel is of sufficient size and area.
3. The proposed home and resulting expansion constitute reasonable use of the subject
property.
4. The proposed addition will be consistent with neighboring structures in size and
setback from the bluff line.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Planning Commission of the City of
Monticello, Minnesota, that the requested variance is approved based on the conditions
provided in Exhibit Z of the referenced staff planning report.
