RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FOR THE QUESTWOOD TOWNHOMES
On February 10, 1999, the Falcon Heights city council granted the following
variance request for Questwood Townhomes, legally known as Lot 4, Clark's 5
acre lots, Ramsey County, Minnesota:
Chapter 9-4.01 subd. 4 (c) requiring a thirty foot rear yard setback in an R-1 zoning
district.
A variance of up to ten feet to allow the construction of attached porches at a rear
yard setback of twenty feet or more where a minimum of thirty feet is required in
the zoning code, as designated in the preliminary plan approved by the City Council
• on December 16, 1998.
The city council adopted the following findings for granting the variance:
a. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public
welfare;
b. That the granting of the variance will not substantially diminish or
impair property values or improvements in the area;
c. That the granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of substantial property rights;
d. That the variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property.
e. That the amended variance will not impair the orderly use of the public
streets;
f. That the variance will not increase the danger of fire or endanger the
public safety;
g. That a particular hardship, as distinguished from mere inconvenience
to the owner, would result if the strict letter of the chapter were
carried out;
h. That the variance is not sought principally to increase financial gain of the
owner of the property and that a substantial hardship to the owner would
result from a denial of the variance.
This variance was incorporated into the Planned Unit Development (PUD) preliminary
plat approved by the Planning Commission on December 8, 1998 and by the City
Council on December 16, 1998.
