A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE IN SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM SECTION 14-133(3)
OF THE ORDINANCE CODE RELATING TO ZONING TO PERMIT A SIDE YARD OF SIX FEET
INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED FIFTEEN FEET IN THE R-2, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE
DISTRICT, AT 3715 RHODE ISLAND AVENUE SOUTH.
BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
1. Robert J. Mugaas has applied for a variance from Section 14-133(3)
of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit a side yard of six feet
instead of the required fifteen feet for a construction of a garage located
in the R-2, Single Family Residence District, at the following location, to -wit:
Lots 42 and 43 and that part of Lot 44 lying South of the
Southerly line of State Highway No. 7, Block 319, in
"Rearrangement of St. Louis Park:, and that part of the
West 1/2 of the North and South vacated alley in said
Block lying between extensions across said strip of land
of the South line of Lot 42 and the Southerly line of or
of record in the office of the Register of Deeds in and
for said County (Plat 51905, Parcel 4975, District 46)
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 81 -85 -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 designated is granted based
upon the findings set forth above.
