A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE IN PARKING REQUIREMENTS
FROM SECTION 14-187(4)(ee) OF THE ORDINANCE CODE RELATING TO
ZONING TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 1,850 SQUARE FOOT
ADDITION AT THE REAR OF AN EXISTING BUILDING WITHOUT PROVIDING
THE REQUIRED OFF-STREET PARKING IN THE B-2, GENERAL BUSINESS
DISTRICT, AT 3982 ALABAMA AVENUE
BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
1. Leroy H. Jessen has applied for a variance from Section 14-187(4Xee) of the
Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit the construction of a 1,850 square foot
addition at the rear of an existing building without providing the additional off-street
parking space required for a commercial building located in the B-2, General Business
District, at the following location, to -wit:
Lot 9, Block 3, "Brookview Park Addition of St. Louis Park" (Torrens
Certificate # 660696)
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 87 -77 -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 to permit a 1,850 square foot addition at the rear of
an existing building without providing the required additional off-street parking space
is granted based upon the findings set forth above.
