RE: Albertville: Edina Development Albert Villa Settlement
Agreement -Wetland Variance Request
FILE NO: 163.05 - 06.01
The City of Albertville has been seeking contractual compliance and payment of
outstanding bills ($398,000) from Edina Development Corporation Inc. for Albert Villa 1St
- 6th Additions. Earlier this spring, the City and Edina Development Corporation Inc.
entered into a settlement agreement. According to Court File No. C9-05-2481.
Stipulation and Settlement Agreement regarding wetland variance, the City of Albertville
has agreed to consider a variance from the required thirty (30) foot wetland buffer strip
and structure setback. The City's consideration would reduce the required thirty (30)
foot buffer strip and structure setback to twelve (12) feet on lots located adjacent to
wetlands in Albert Villa Additions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
As the projects developed, the required thirty (30) foot wetland buffer strip and structure
setback was not implemented and resulted in illegal, non-conforming lots (Exhibit A).
These homes were purchased by homeowners not knowing that these Ordinance
violations existed. These lots require a blanket variance to amend them into legal,
conforming lots.
These current illegal, non-conforming lots will cause further hardship to Albert Villa
property owners when they look to finance, mortgage or sell their homes. Our staff
recommends a blanket variance to reduce the required thirty (30) foot wetland buffer
strip and structure setback to twelve (12) feet on lots located adjacent to wetlands
(Exhibit A), be granted to relieve the non-conformity.
