A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE IN SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM
SECTION 14-133(3) OF THE ORDINANCE CODE RELATING TO ZONING
TO PERMIT THE DIVISION OF A PARCEL INTO TWO LOTS WITH THE
RESULT THAT THE EXISTING HOUSE WILL HAVE A SIDE YARD SETBACK

FOR PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE R-2, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE
DISTRICT, AT 1477 LOUISIANA AVENUE.
BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
1. Harold and Pearl Olson have applied for a variance from Section 14-133(3) of
the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit the division of a parcel into two lots
with the result that the existing house will have a side yard setback abutting a street of
6 feet instead of the required 15 feet for a single family dwelling located in the R-2,
Single Family Residence District, at the following location, to -wit:
Lots 432, 433 and 434, Btvcit-t; Richmond Addition (Abstract)
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 86 -69 -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.
7. The following conditions and safeguards are necessary in order to insure and
will in fact insure that there will be no unreasonably adverse consequences to the
granting of the variance: I
(1) The variance is for the existing house only, and in the event the house is
destroyed or damaged beyond 60% of the volume of the house, any new construction
shall comply with the setback requirements.
Conclusion
The application for a variance to permit the division of a parcel into two lots with
the result that the existing house will have a side yard setback abutting a street of 6
feet instead of the required 15 feet is granted based upon the findings set forth above.
Adopted by the City Council October 6, 1986
