A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE IN SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM
SECTION 14-133(3) OF THE ORDINANCE CODE RELATING TO ZONING
TO PERMIT A SETBACK OF 5 FEET INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED 15
FEET ON A SIDE YARD ABUTTING A STREET IN THE R-1, SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT AT 2901 XENWOOD AVENUE SOUTH.
BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
Findings
1. Phil Steinberg has applied for a variance from Section 14-133(3) of the Ordinance
Code relating to zoning to permit a setback of 5 feet instead of the required 15 feet on a
side yard abutting a street for a single family home located in the R-1, Single Family
Residence District at the following location, to -wit:
Lot 27, Block 2, "American Security Investment Company's ,
Terrace Park" (Abstract)
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance (Case No. 89-
21 -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 contents of Planning Case File 89 -21 -VAR are hereby entered into and made part
of the public hearing record and the record of decision for this case.
i
Conclusion
The application for a variance for a side yard setback of 5 feet instead of the required 15
feet on a side yard abutting a street is granted based upon the findings set forth above.
