BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
1. Georgia Tengler has applied for a variance from Section 14-133(5)
of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit a side yard of five feet,
a lot area of 4,800 square feet, and a lot width of 40 feet for a single
family home located in the R-2 Single Family District at the following
location, to -wit:
Lot 21, Block 6, Suburban Homes Company Addition
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a
variance (Case No. 78 -90 -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
ensure and will in fact ensure that there will be no unreasonably adverse
consequences to the granting of the variance:
a) A 4.98 foot side yard shall be provided on the south
side of the property designated at 4157 Brookside
Avenue South
b) A 9 foot wide side yard shall be provided for any
home located on the south 40 feet of Lot 21, Block 6,
