Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval is based on the following findings:
1. Except for the variances, the proposal meets the required standards and ordinance for a
subdivision.
2. The variance criteria is met. The request is reasonable in that it would allow three lots that
are similar in size in the neighborhood and as the property was originally platted. The two
original homes were built in 1953 and 1956 and were built on land that was previously platted
as three lots. This neighborhood was platted in 1913 with all 50-foot-wide lots.
3. The unique circumstance of the oversized lot compared to other single-dwelling unit lot was
not created by the existing landowner. Combining the lots to make them larger was done by a
previous land owner.
4. The median lot width in this neighborhood is 50 feet wide, the median lot area is 6,504 square
feet, and median lot depth is 130 feet. The proposed lots meet these medians for the
neighborhood.
5. The proposal reestablishes the lots back to the original plat.
6. The requested variances to split this lot are reasonable in the context of the immediate
neighborhood and would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. The new
single-family homes would be constructed on lot similar in size to the lots on this block within
the original Plat.
Section 3. APPROVAL
NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved by the City Council of the City of Edina, approves
the proposed three lot subdivision of 5120 and 5124 Hankerson and lot width variances from 75 feet

variances from 9,000 s.f. to 6,509 s.f. for Lot I , to 6,515 s.f. for Lot 2 and 6,520 s.f. for Lot 3.

written application for a time extension or the preliminary approval will be void. The lot lines
in the final plat shall be straightened per the staff recommendation.
2. The new homes must be accessed from the existing alley in the rear yard.
