A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE IN SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM
SECTION 14-128(5) OF THE ORDINANCE CODE RELATING TO ZONING
TO PERMIT AN ADDITION WITH A SIDE YARD SETBACK OF ONE FOOT
INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED NINE FEET IN THE R-1, SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE DISTRICT AT 2855 JOPPA AVENUE SOUTH
BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
1. Elmer M. Meyer has applied for a variance from Section 14-128(5) of the Ordinance
Code relating to zoning to permit an addition with a side yard setback of one foot instead
of the required nine feet for a single family dwelling located in the R-1, Single Family
Residence District at the following location, to -wit:
Lot 17, Block 5 "Sunset Gables Second Division" (Torren- Certificate
No. 362329)
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance (Case
No. 85 -32 -VAR) and has recommended to the City Council that the application 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 an addition with a side yard setback of one foot instead
of the required nine feet is granted based upon the findings set forth above.
