MOTION BY: McDonald SECONDED BY: Tiornhom
A RESOLUTION APPROVING NONCONFORMING USES AT 6411 BRETTON WAY
WHEREAS, Naomi Carlson has requested a determination of nonconforming uses on
property located at 6411 Bretton Way — Planning Case #2012 -13; and
WHEREAS, the legal description of the property is Tract C, RLS 105 and Outlots C & D,
Curry Farms 2nd Addition; and
WHEREAS, the property is guided in -the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for
Residential Low Density Uses; and
WHEREAS, the property is zoned Single - Family Residential District, RSF; and
WHEREAS, commercial or industrial uses are not permitted conditional or interim uses in
the Single- Family Residential District; and
WHEREAS, prior to the rezoning of the property to RSF and subsequent to that rezoning,
the building has been utilized for assorted machining and manufacturing businesses including
woodworking shops, small part painting and motorcycle repair; and
WHEREAS, artist studio and indoor warehouse or storage are less intensive uses of the
nonconforming commercial uses of the property since they do not include machining,
manufacturing, or contracting yard operations; and
WHEREAS, continued occupation and use of the building will permit the site to be
maintained, stabilize the tax base and permit limited -use commercial businesses to operate in the
community.

determines that artist studio and indoor warehouse or storage is not an intensification of the use of
the property and is therefore in the best interest of the community to permit to occupy the premises.
