On April 11, 2000, the Falcon Heights City Council granted the following variance request for the Gibbs
Farm Museum, owned by the Ramsey County Historical Society, and located at 2097 W. Larpenteur

The City Council adopted the following findings for granting the variance at the Gibbs Farm Museum,
2097 W. Larpenteur Avenue:
• 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.
