CITY OF SCANDIA, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 07-05-16-__
APPROVING AN INTERIM USE PERMIT FOR A TEMPORARY DWELLING UNIT
DURING CONSTRUCTION FOR 21020 MEADOWBROOK AVENUE NORTH
WHEREAS, Julie Ruddy has made an application for an Interim Use Permit for a
Temporary Dwelling Unit During Construction to maintain the existing home in place while a
new home is constructed on the property at 21020 Meadowbrook Avenue North; and
WHEREAS, the property is legally described as follows:
That part of the Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 16, Township 32
North, Range 20 West, Washington County, Minnesota lying southerly of the centerline of
Scandia Trail North (Minnesota State highway 97) as presently monumented except that part
platted as Alexanderville Section 16, Township 32, Range 20; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the request for the Interim Use Permit
at a duly noticed Public Hearing on July 5, 2016, and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SCANDIA, WASHINGTON COUNTY,
MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does recommend approval of an Interim Use Permit for
a Temporary Dwelling Unit During Construction to permit the existing home on the property at
21020 Meadowbrook Avenue North to remain in place while a new home is constructed, based
on the following findings:
1. Allowing the existing residential unit to remain while a new unit is constructed will not
endanger public health or safety. The impacts on neighboring properties, public health
and public safety will not change from the existing situation if the existing unit is
removed shortly after the new unit is completed as required by the Development Code.
2. Allowing the existing home to remain will not create new impacts on neighboring
properties from the current situation, and therefore, will not affect property values or
scenic views.

occupants of the single-family residence being constructed.

issued until the building permit has been approved.

10. The temporary dwelling unit is connected to an approved on-site waste disposal system.
11. The conditions require that the property owner shall submit a financial guarantee to the

the interim use permit. The amount of the guarantee shall be determined by the Zoning
Administrator.
12. The interim use permit shall expire when construction is completed or within one year
