APPROVING PRELIMINARY PLAT WITH VARIANCES
AT 6416 MCCAULEY CIRCLE
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows:
Section I. BACKGROUND.
1.01 Dipendra Mahaseth has requested a subdivision with multiple variances to tear down the
existing home at 6416 McCauley Circle and build two new homes. One home would gain
access off McCauley Circle and the other off McCauley Terrace.
1.02 Within this neighborhood, the minimum lot size is established by the median width, depth and
area of all lots within 500 feet of the property. Therefore, the minimum required lot area is
18,73 I s.f., lot width 102 feet, and lot depth 181 feet.
1.03 The following described tract of land is requested to be divided:
Lot 2, Block I, McCauley Heights 4th Addition, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
1.04 To accommodate the request the following is required:
I. A Subdivision; and
2. Lot Area, Width and Depth Variances for Lot 1; and Lot Depth and Street Frontage Variance
for Lot 2.
1.05 The Subject Property is guided Single Family Residential under the City's Comprehensive Plan
and is zoned R-I, Single Dwelling Unit District.
1.06 On October 25, 2022, after published and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes and the City Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing. At which time all
persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to speak
thereon. Vote. 5 Ayes and I Nay.
1.07 On November 16, 2022, the City Council held a public hearing on the proposed subdivision
and variances.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval is based on the following findings:
1. Lots within this area have a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
2. The proposed lots are generally similar in size and shape to other lots within this area,
including width at the street.

3. The existing lot is the largest in the area.
4. The lots on McCauley Terrace are all irregular in shape. There appears to be a vacant lot on
McCauley Terrace, as the existing lot gains vehicular access off McCauley Circle.
5. Upon compliance with all city and watershed district requirements for grading and drainage,
the proposed subdivision would not have a negative impact on adjacent property.
6. The practical difficulty is caused by the size and shape of the existing lot with access available
from two streets (McCauley Terrace and McCauley Circle.) Additional difficulties include the
steep slopes toward Arrowhead Lake.
7. The proposal to split the lot is reasonable in the context of the neighborhood which includes
a wide variety of lot shapes and sizes, and the appearance of a vacant lot off McCauley
Terrace where the second home would be located.
Section 3. APPROVAL
NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved by the City Council of the City of Edina, approves
the Preliminary Plat at 6416 McCauley Circle with Lot Area, Width, Depth and Street Frontage
Variances subject to the following conditions:
I. The City must approve the final plat within one year of preliminary approval or receive a
written application for a time extension or the preliminary approval will be void. Final plat
shall include a complete grading and drainage plan subject to review and approval of the city
engineer. The grading and drainage plans must be revised to meet the conditions required
herein.
2. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the following items must be submitted:
a. Park dedication fee of $5,000 must be paid.
b. A construction management plan for the construction of each home.
c. Submit evidence of a Nine Mile Creek Watershed District approval. The City may
require revisions to the preliminary plat to meet the district's requirements.
