BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
1. Sandra Lee Toy has applied for a variance from Sections 14-109(b) and
14-133(5) of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit the location of an air
conditioning unit in a required front yard having a setback of 34.5 feet instead of the
required 36 feet for a single family dwelling located in the R-2, Single Family Residence
District, at the following location, to -wit:
Lot 26, Block 3, Suburban Homes Co's Addition (Abstract)
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 86 -74 -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:
(1) Sufficient screening shall be maintained around the air conditioning unit to curtail
its visibility from the street.
Conclusion
The application for a variance to permit the location of an air conditioning unit in a
required front yard having a setback of 34.5 feet instead of the required 36 feet is
granted based upon the findings set forth above. -
