BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota:
FINDINGS
1. H.J. Shotwell Companies (Arnie Bloomquist) applied for variance from Section 14:5-
7.2(G)(4) of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit a side yard setback of 5 feet
instead of the required 25 feet for property in the "I -P" Industnal Park District at the
following location, to -wit:
Lot 005, Block 001, Elliot View 4th Addition
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals held a public hearing, received testimony from the public,
discussed the application for a variance Case No. 11-96 VAR and upon finding that the
request did not satisfy the Ordinance necessary for granting a variance, approved
Resolution of Denial 11-96 on a vote of 2-1.
3. On November 1, 1996, the applicant, H.J. Shotwell Companies (Arnie Bloomquist), filed
an appeal of this decision to the City Council.
4. On Tuesday February 18, 1997 the City Council considered the appeal of H.J. Shotwell
Companies (Arnie Bloomquist) from the decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals.
5. 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.
6. Because of conditions on the subject property and surrounding property, it is possible to
use the property in such a way that the proposed variance will not impair an adequate
supply of light and air to the adjacent property, unreasonably increase the congestion in the
public streets, mcrease the danger of fire, endanger the public safety, unreasonably
diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or m any other respect be contrary to
the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
7 The special conditions applying to the structure or land m question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property and do not apply generally to other land or
structures in the distnct m which such land is located.
8. 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.
9. The contents of Planning Case File 11-96 VAR are hereby entered into and made part of
the public record and the record of decision of this case.
10. Under the Zoning Ordinance, this variance shall be deemed to be abandoned, revoked, or
canceled if the holder shall fail to complete the work on or before one year after the
variance is granted.
11. The following conditions and safeguards are necessary in order to insure and will in fact
insure that there will be no unreasonable adverse consequences to the granting of the
variance.
a. The site shall be developed, used, and maintained in accordance with Exhibit "A",
Site Plan.
