BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
•1. James G. Thompson has applied for a variance from Section 14-143
of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit side yards of 0 feet and
a rear yard of one foot and a three car garage with an encroachment of five
feet into the side yard for property located in the R-4 District at the
following location, to -wit:
Lot 8, Block 1 Manhattan Park First Addition `
2. The Board of Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 79 -53 -VAR) and has recommended to the City Council that the appli-
cation be granted, and its action has been reported to the City Council.
3. The Council has considered the effect of the proposed variance
upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and antici-
pated 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, confort, 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.
Conclusion
The application for a variance for the purpose -designated is granted, based
upon the findings set forth above.
Adopted by the City Council September 4, 1979 .
