1. Blatz Realty, Inc. has applied for a variance from Section 14-128(5)
of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit a front yard setback of
25 feet instead of the required 35 feet; rear yard setback of 7 feet instead
of the required 35 feet; southerly side yard setback of 8 feet instead of the
required 9 feet; northerly side yard setback of 7 feet instead of the required
9 feet; and a lot area of 7,453 square feet instead of the required 9,000 square
feet for constructing a single family house located in the R-1, Single Family
Residence District at the following location, to -wit:
All of Lot 14, including 1/2 of vacated alley, and that
part of the North 35 feet of Lot 15, Block 1, "Latham's
Minnetonka Boulevard Tract" lying West of the East 64.0
feet thereof, according to the duly recorded plat thereof
on file with Hennepin County, Minnesota
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 81 -29 -VAR) and has recommended to the City Council that the applica-
tion be granted.
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.
Conclusion
The application for a variance for the purpose dgsignated is granted based
upon the findings set forth above.
