TION 14-128(5) OF THE ORDINANCE CODE RELATING TO ZONING
TO PERMIT ADDING A FAMILY ROOM IN THE R-1, SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE DISTRICT, AT 8000 WEST 18TH STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA:
Findings
1. Richard Fontaine has applied for a variance from Section 14-128(5)
of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit a rear yard setback of 32
feet instead of the required 35 feet for a single family dwelling located in the'
R-1, Single Family Residence District, at the following location, to -wit:

Westwood Hills
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 81 -117 -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•therpurpose designated is granted based
upon the findings set forth -above.
