A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE IN REAR YARD SETBACK FROM
SECTION 14-128(5) OF THE ORDINANCE CODE RELATING TO ZONING
TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FAMILY ROOM ADDITION HAVING
A REAR YARD SETBACK OF 28 FEET INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED 35
FEET IN THE R-1, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT, AT 2710
OTTAWA AVENUE SOUTH
BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
1. Jeffrey and Judy Friedson have applied for a variance from Section 14-128(5)
of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit the construction of a family room
addition having a rear yard setback of 28 feet instead of the required 35 feet for a
single family house located in the R-1, Single Family Residence District District at the
following location, to -wit:
That part of Lots 6 and 7 lying easterly of a line running from a point in
the southerly line of Lot 7 distant 4 feet east from the southwest corner
thereof to a point in the northerly line of Lot 6 distant 24 feet westerly
from the northeast corner thereof in "Woodridge Addition" (Abstract)
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 88 -32 -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 the construction of a family room addition
having a rear yard setback of 28 feet instead of the required 35 feet is granted based
upon the findings set forth above.
