A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE FROM SECTION 6-123 OF THE
ORDINANCE CODE RELATING TO DRIVEWAY WIDTHS IN EXCESS OF 22 FEET
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
1. James R. Coult has applied for a variance from Section 6-123 of the
Ordinance Code relating to residential driveway widths located in an R-1 Single
Family Residential District at the following location, to -wit:
Lot 1, Block 9, Browndale Park
2. The staff of the Engineering Department has reviewed the application
for a variance and has recommended to the City Council that the application be
granted.
3. Due to the condition on the subject's property and the surrounding
properties, it is possible to use the subject property in such a way that the
proposed variance would not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent properties, unreasonably increase the congestion of the public street,
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 City Ordinances.
4. The City Council has approved a variance request for the construction
of a three car garage and appurtenant additions to the building. This driveway
width variance will allow reasonable and safe access to the three car garage as
proposed.
5. The granting of this application is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of substantial property rights of the applicant. It will not merely
serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demon-
strable hardship or difficulty.
6. The applicant is requesting a driveway width of 29 feet. City
ordinances only allow a driveway width of 22 feet unless a variance has been
approved.
Conclusion
The application for a variance for a 29 -foot -wide apron abutting a public street
instead of the required 22 feet is granted based upon the findings set forth
above.
