Action Requested: <br />• Recommend approval of Resolution 04-_ to the City Council, approving the requested variance <br />of 647 square feet in the lot coverage of the property at 1885 Asbury Street, Falcon Heights. <br />The requested variance meets some the standards for granting a variance in section 9-15.03 <br />Subdivision 4 of Chapter 9 of the City Code. <br />• For those standards related to impact on neighboring properties, Staff finds that the granting <br />of the variance would not have a significant negative impact. <br />• For the standard related to uniqueness, Staff finds that the property, though not unique, <br />suffers from the same constraints as its neighbors on Snelling and Asbury between Crawford <br />and Roselawn. These lots, which are wide but unusually shallow, have very limited options <br />for expansion, compared to most of the residential properties in the City. <br />• For the hardship, Staff finds that denial of the variance will impose a hardship by requiring <br />either significantly increased cost to the owner or loss of an amenity. <br />• <br />C~ <br />Falcon Heights Planning Commission August 24, 2004 Page 4 of 4 <br />Staff report on a lot coverage variance request at 1885 Asbury Street <br />
