§ 153.32 COUNCIL VOTE; PLAT APPROVAL WITHOUT VARIANCE.
   (A)   City Council vote. All actions related to this chapter, including amendments, variances, waivers and plat approvals, shall require a majority vote of the members of the City Council present at a duly constituted City Council meeting.
(‘81 Code, § B1-24)
   (B)   Plat approved without variances. When a plat as approved by the city and recorded with Dakota County has a lot or lots which, due to an inadvertent error, do not meet the minimum required dimensions as required in this chapter or in the city's zoning chapter, the lots shall have the following status:
      (1)   The lot(s) shall be considered a legal nonconforming lot(s);
      (2)   The lot(s) shall not be deemed unique or in a practical difficulty warranting any other variance and shall not be afforded any variance or further dimensional variance other than that existing on the recorded plat;
      (3)   The provisions of this section do not apply to subdivisions and approved plats pursuant to the planned development or residential cluster provision, as detailed in § 153.26(B); rather it is only intended to clarify; and
      (4)   When the recorded plat does not meet the regulations of the zoning regulations in this code and the subdivisions regulation herein as a result of the applicant's or developer's misrepresentations on the proposed plat for approval or the recording of a plat inconsistent with the city approved plat, the lots shall be considered illegal nonconforming and shall not be entitled to a building permit.
