rear lot line; and
WHEREAS, Section 826.25 of the City's zoning ordinance requires that
residential structures exceeding 30 feet in height be located on lots at least

rear yard setback of 80 feet; and
WHEREAS, Section 825.45 of the City's Code of Ordinance and Minn. Stat.,
Section 462.357 require that variances from the strict interpretation of the
zoning ordinance be granted only when there is a demonstrated hardship because

WHEREAS, the planning commission and City Council have considered the
Applicants' request and have reviewed the matter thoroughly.
