A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE IN SIDE YARD SETBACK
FROM SECTION 14-128(5) OF THE ORDINANCE CODE RELATING
TO ZONING TO PERMIT A SIDE YARD OF 5' INSTEAD OF THE
REQUIRED 9' IN THE R-1, SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT, AT
2628 WEBSTER AVENUE SOUTH.
BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
1. Robert and Pam Gullifer have applied for a variance from Section
14-128(5) of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit side yard of
5' instead of the required 9' for a two story single family home in the
R-1, Single Family District at the following location, to -wit:
Lot 8 and the North 1/2 of Lot 9, Block 1,
American Security Investment Companies Second
Addition
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a
variance (Case No. 78 -5 -VAR) 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,
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 Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
5. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question
are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property and do not
apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which such
land is located.

insure and will in fact insure that there will be no unreasonably adverse
consequences to the granting of the variance:

in accordance with Exhibit A, Site Plan, and
Exhibit B, Elevation Plan.
b. All construction on the site shall be completed by
