FROM SECTION 14-133(5) OF THE ORDINANCE CODE RELATING
TO ZONING TO PERMIT A FRONT YARD SETBACK OF 26 FEET
INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED 30 FEET IN THE R-2, SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT, AT 3450 ZARTHAN AVENUE SOUTH
BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
1. Robert E. and Barbara J. Courts have applied for a variance from Sec-
tion 14-133(5) of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit construction
of an addition to the house with a front yard setback of 26 feet instead of the
required 30 feet for a single family house located in the R-2, Single Family
District, at the following location, to -wit:
The north 57 feet of Lot 1, Block 13, 'St. Louis
Park and the north 57 feet of Lots 11 and 12,
Block 13, Rearrangement of St. Louis Park
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 81 -97 -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.
