DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION BA2018-01
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO ALLOW A SIDE YARD SETBACK
OF TWO FEET FOR A PRINCIPAL BUILDING ADDITION AND A SIDE YARD
SETBACK OF 12 FEET FOR AN ACCESSORY BUILDING IN A GI-GENERAL
INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT.
WHEREAS, Spectro Alloys Corporation (the “Applicant”), 13220 Doyle Path has submitted an
application to the City Rosemount (the “City”), for a variance to allow a side yard setback of two
feet for a principal building addition and a side yard setback of 12 feet for an accessory building in a
GI-General Industrial zoning district; and
WHEREAS, notice has been published, mailed and posted pursuant to the Rosemount Zoning
Ordinance, Section 11-12-2; and
WHEREAS, the Rosemount Board of Appeals and Adjustments held a public hearing and
considered said on said matter on February 27, 2018; and
NOW, THEREFORE, based on the testimony elicited and information received, the Rosemount
Board of Appeals and Adjustments makes the following:
FINDINGS
1. That the procedures for obtaining said Variance are found in the Rosemount Zoning
Ordinance, Section 11-12-2.
2. That all the submission requirements of said Section 11-12-2 have been met by the
Applicant.
3. That the proposed variance will allow the construction of an addition to its principal
building at 13220 Doyle Path with a side yard setback of two feet for a principal building
addition and a side yard setback of 12 feet for an accessory building in a GI-General
Industrial zoning district.
4. That the Variance will be located on property legally described as follows: Lot 1, Block 1,
SPECTRO ALLOYS ADDITION, Dakota County in the State of Minnesota
Resolution BA2018-01 2
5. The variance request is in harmony with the purposes and intent of the ordinance.
Finding : Staff finds the request in harmony with the ordinance. The uses and activities
taking place at the Spectro Alloys site are considered permitted or conditional uses under
the Zoning Ordinance, and the building addition will allow the applicant to improve the
efficiency and safety of its industrial operation. Although there are several aspects of the
site that are non-conforming, overall the proposed addition will bring the property closer
to compliance with the exterior storage and equipment provisions of the Ordinance.
The building addition and reduced side yard setback will maintain adequate spacing from
the rail line and private property to the east.
6. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Finding : Staff finds the request is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The
recycling operation is consistent with the future land use designation of GI – General
Industrial for the property. The continued use and improvement of businesses within
this land use category is encouraged in the Comprehensive Plan.
7. Granting of the variance allows reasonable use of the property.
Finding : The variance will allow for an improvement and expansion of the present
facility without reconfiguring the entire site. The proposed building addition will occupy
space that is currently used for large structures and equipment with a minimal setback to
the property line. A building addition in this location will have a minimal visual impact
over existing conditions. The proposed addition will be able to maintain a setback of 50
feet from the nearest rail line, and will also be located over 300 feet from the nearest
private property line.
8. There are unique circumstances to the property which are not created by the landowner.
Finding : The current building locations and site layout were approved under less
restrictive ordinances and met any applicable standards in place at that time. The site is
also constrained due to the adjacent rail line and rail spurs, the curving alignment of the
rail line, and its location adjacent to a MRCCA bluff line.
9. Granting of the variance does not alter the essential character of the locality.
Finding : The property surrounding subject property is guided and zoned for either
general or heavy industrial land uses and abuts a rail spur used to move materials into
and out of the near-by oil refinery. The proposed addition will allow for continued
processing and recycling of materials in accordance the City’s zoning regulations. The
essential character of the locality will not be altered by granting of the variance
Resolution BA2018-01 3
CONCLUSIONS AND DECISION
Based on the foregoing, the Applicant’s application for a Variance is granted.
Passed and duly adopted this 27th day of February 2018, by the Board of Appeals and Adjustments
of the City of Rosemount, Minnesota.
