excepted tract being the property conveyed to Citizens State Bank
of St. Louis Park by a Deed recorded in Book 1826 of Deeds, Page

(2) That part of Section Seven (7), Township Twenty-eight (28),
Range Twenty-four (24), described as follows: Beginning at a point
in the center line of Excelsior Avenue which point is 1056 feet
Northeasterly, measured along said center line, from the point at
which said center line intersects the center line of Wooddale

2. On February 19, 1986, the Planning Commission recommended denial of the
special permit amendment on a 4-3 vote.
3. On March 17, 1986, the City Council authorized preparation of a Resolution of
Denial on a 7-0 vote.
4. Based on the testimony, evidence presented, and files and records, the City
Council makes the following findings:
1) That the plan is inconsistent with the original site plan approved for the
subject property.
2) The plan is inconsistent with the PUD zoning, including the Final General
Plan.
3) The plan fails to meet the requirements of Section 14-211.1 through 14-212
of the Zoning Ordinance in that the proposed plan, if approved, would have
an adverse effect upon the health, safety and welfare of occupants and
surrounding lands by causing needless obstructions preventing expected and
ordinary flow of pedestrians and vehicles and by creating an unsightly
barrier; would have an adverse effect upon the existing and anticipated
traffic conditions causing traffic and safety problems on and adjacent to
the proposed driveways and fence; and would have an adverse impact on
the Comprehensive Plan.
4) The subject request is inconsistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan,
and in particular, general City goals, objectives of the Commercial chapter
and objectives and content of the Renewal chapter.
5) The request is not in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the
zoning ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan; more specifically, Section
14-124.101(1), the PUD purpose section.
CONCLUSION
The application for the special permit amendment is denied based upon the findings
set forth above and on the grounds that conditions required for approval do not exist.
Adopted by the City Council April 7, 1986
