Findings
1. Pic -A -Pop Minn., Inc., has applied for a variance from Section 6:045.2,
Subd. 1 and 2, of the Zoning Ordinance to permit mechanical equipment consisting of
an existing electrical transformer and an existing CO2 compressor and an 8 -foot -high
rough sawn cedar fence to encroach into the front yard setback on the north side of
the building, for a building located in the I-1 Industrial District at the following
location:
•
Lots A, B, C, and D, Registered Land Survey No. 297, and
the west 24 feet of the North 1/2 of Lot 11 and the East 22
feet of Lot 10 and the West 29 feet of the South 1/2 of
Lot 11, Block 32, St. Louis Park Center, commonly known as
3550 Brunswick Avenue South.
2. The Board of Appeals reviewed the application for a variance (Case NO.
75 -67 -VAR) on September 25, 1975, and October 23, 1975, and has recommended to the City
Council that the application be granted with conditions.
3. The Council has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the health,
safety, and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light
and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of
property in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance upon the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property,
it is possible to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance
will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, unreasonably
increase the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger
the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or
in any other respect be contrary to the intent of the Ordinance and the Comprehensive
Plan.
5. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are
1111leculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property, and do not apply generally
o other land or structures in the district in which such land is located.
6. The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of a substantial property right of the applicant. It will not merely serve as a
convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or
difficulty.
