WHEREAS, L&L Properties owns the following described property (“Property”): 
 
Commencing at the northwest corner of said Northeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter, Section 23, Township 45, Range 20, Pine County, Minnesota; thence southerly, along the west line of said Northeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter, a distance of 300.00 feet to the actual point of beginning of the tract of land herein described; thence easterly, parallel with the north line of said Northeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter, a distance of 85.00 feet; thence northerly, parallel with said west line of the Northeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter, a distance of 120.00 feet; thence easterly, parallel with said north line of the Northeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter, a distance of 815.00 feet; thence southerly, parallel with said west line of the Northeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter, a distance of 741.61 feet to the north line of the South 405.00 feet of said Northeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter; thence westerly, along last described north line, a distance of 900.01 feet to said west line of the Northeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter; thence northerly, along last described west line, a distance of 620.63 feet to said point of beginning.
 
AND the following described tract of land:
 
That part of the Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter, Section 23, Township 45, Range 20, Pine County, Minnesota, which lies westerly of the east 198 feet and which lies northerly of the south 684 feet of said Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter and that part of the south 405 feet of the Northeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter which lies westerly of the East 198 feet thereof. 
 
            WHEREAS, L&L Properties has applied for a variance to allow four principal structures and two principal uses on one lot; and
 
            WHEREAS, The Property already contains a driving range as a principal use and the owner desires to also construct four cabins on the Property and use them for rental purposes; and
 
            WHEREAS, Each of the cabins would be considered a principal building on the Property and the rental of the cabins would be a principal use of the Property; and
 
            WHEREAS, the Town Board views the rental of four cabins on the Property as not materially different from the construction of one building on the Property with four rooms for rent, such as a motel, and finds such use of the property to be a reasonable use that will not interfere with the existing driving range use; and
 
            WHEREAS, the Property is large enough to support four cabins for rental without affecting the character of the neighborhood; and
           
            WHEREAS, on November _____, 2023, the Sturgeon Lake Town Board conducted a public hearing on the applications of L&L Properties for the two variances; and
 
WHEREAS, the property is currently in the Agricultural zoning district; and
 
WHEREAS, the Sturgeon Lake Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed variances;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, the Sturgeon Lake Town Board makes the following findings of fact: 
 

1. L&L Properties has applied for the following variances: 
   
   1. A variance from Section 2.01 of the Sturgeon Lake Township Zoning Ordinance to allow up to 4 principal structures on a single lot; and
      
   2. A variance from Section 2.07 to allow a second principal use on one lot.
      
2. There are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance in that the proposed second use is a reasonable use of the Property given the recreational character and use of the land in the area.  In addition, the four cabins represent a significantly lower density than could otherwise be achieved on this property if a single, larger motel-type building were constructed.  Finally, the current use of the Property for driving range purposes does not see frequent use by the public which allows the Property to host a second use without placing a significant burden on the Property or the neighboring properties.
   
3. The proposed cabins are a reasonable use of the Property in that they are complementary to the existing driving range already located on the Property and will not alter the essential character of the locality.
   

 
NOW, THEREFORE, the Sturgeon Lake Town Board does hereby approve the following variances for the Property:   
 

1. A variance from Section 2.01 of the Sturgeon Lake Township Zoning Ordinance to allow up to 4 principal structures on a single lot; and
   
2. A variance from Section 2.07 to allow a second principal use on one lot.
   

 
APPROVED this ______ day of November, 2023 by the Sturgeon Lake Town Board.
