BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
1. James T. Frush has applied for a variance from Section 14-108(2) of the
Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit construction of a detached garage which
covers 27.5% of the rear yard instead of 25%, the maximum allowed, and has a side
yard setback of 1.5 feet instead of the required 2 feet for a single family dwelling
located in the R-2, Single Family Residence District, at the following location, to -wit:
Lot 16, Block 3, Boulevard Heights Addition
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 83 -59 -VAR) and has recommended to the City Council that the application
be denied.
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
net 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 to permit construction of a detached garage which covers
27.5% of the rear yard instead of 25%, the maximum allowed, and has a side yard
setback of 1.5 feet instead of the required 2 feet is granted based upon the findings
set forth above.
