FINDINGS
1. Keith LeRoy Hansen has applied for a variance from Sections 14-148(7) and
14-314(1Xd) of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit on the easterly 70'
a front yard of 15.5 feet instead of the required 15 feet or 1/2 of the building
height and on the westerly 60' a setback of 15 feet instead of the required 25 feet
for property located in the R -B, Residence Business District, at the following location,
to -wit:
IL Lots 25, 26, 27 and 28, Block 313, Rearrangement of St. Louis Park
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 81 -40 -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 the purpose designated is granted based upon the
findings set forth above.
