A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE IN LOT WIDTH AND
SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM SECTIONS 14-128(3) AND
14-128(5) TO PERMIT CONSTRUCTION OF A SINGLE FAMILY
HOME ON A LOT 40 FEET IN WIDTH AND TO PERMIT A SIDE
YARD ON A STREET OF 10 FEET IN THE R-1 DISTRICT AT
2646 JOPPA AVENUE SOUTH UNDER SPECIFIED CONDITIONS.
BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
1. Ernest Margulas and Gregory Gunderson have applied for a variance
from Sections 14-128(3) and 14-128(5) of the Ordinance Code to permit con-
struction of a single family home on a lot 40 feet in width and a 10 foot
side yard on a street for a single family home located in the R-1 District
at the following location, to -wit:
Lot 12, Block 5, Thorpe Bros. Cedar Lake Heights
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a
variance (Case No. 78 -12 -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.

6. The granting of the application 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.
7. The following conditions and safeguards are necessary in order to
insure, and will in fact insure, that there will be no unreasonably adverse
consequences to the granting of the variance:
a. The building developed on the site shall be a split
entry, single family home, with attached garage facing
West 27 Street.
b. The proposed development on the site shall be completed
by June 1, 1979.
Conclusion

upon the findings set forth above and subject to the conditions set forth
in paragraph 7 of these findings.
