APPROVING A PRELIMINARY PLAT WITH LOT WIDTH VARIANCES
AT 5633 TRACY AVENUE

Section 1. BACKGROUND.
1.01 Mr. Rodney Helm on behalf of Miriam Kiser is requesting a Preliminary Plat of 5633 Tracy
Avenue divide the existing parcel into two lots.
1.02 The following described tract of land is requested to be divided:
Lot 1, Block 1, Warden Acres Kiser Replat Fairfax Addition, according to the recorded plat
thereof,Hennepin County,Minnesota.
1.03 The owner of the described land desires to subdivide said tract in to the following described
new and separate parcels (herein called"parcels') described as follows:
Lots 1 and 2,Block 1,Kiser Subdivision.
1.04 The proposed subdivision requires the following variances:
1. Lot width variances from 85 feet to 80 feet for each lot.
1.05 On February 13, 2013, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Preliminary
Plat and Variances on a Vote of 8-0.
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 subdivision would meet the neighborhood medians for lot area and depth, and
nearly meet the median width.
3. The proposal is consistent with the lots on this block of Tracy Avenue.

4. The 80-foot wide lot is wider than the general standard required width of 75 feet.
5. The proposal meets the required standards for a variance,because:
a. There is a unique hardship to the property caused by the existing size of the property
which is two times the size of every lot on the block.
b. The requested variances are reasonable in the context of the immediate
neighborhood. The existing lot is both larger and wider than most properties in the
area,including nearly every lot on the block. The proposed subdivision would result
in two lots more characteristic of the neighborhood.
c. The variances would meet the intent of the ordinance because the proposed lots are
of similar size to others in the neighborhood.
d. If the variances were denied,the applicant would be denied a use of his property,an
80-foot wide lot,which is common to the area.
Section 3. APPROVAL
NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved by the City Council of the City of Edina,approves
the Preliminary Plat and requested Variances for the proposed subdivision of 5633 Tracy Avenue.
