Review
KJ2 Properties is requesting a variance from Chapter 10, Article VIII, Division 1, Sec.10-1059 of the Mankato City Code to increase the number of units in a building from 4 to 5 in the Shoreland District.
The property is described as Lots 17-22 Block 5 Groh Farm Subdivision, and the subject parcels are currently addressed as 3120, 3122, 3124, 3126, 3130, 3132, 3134, 3136, 3200, 3202, 3204, 3206, 3210, 3212, 3214, 3216, 3220, 3222, 3224, 3226, 3230, 3232 Bassett Drive and 1120, 1124 Fraser Lane.
The property is currently platted as Common Interest Community (CIC) Number 121, which places 4 units on each of the subject underlying lots that were platted with the Groh Farms Subdivision. The applicant desires to increase the number of units allowed on these subject lots from 4 to 5 per building, which will involve dissolution of the current CIC plat. Because the subject property is located in the Shoreland District, a variance is necessary to make this change.
