No. 01-22
City Council Resolution
Date: October 10, 2001
RESOLUTION DENYING VARIANCES FOR 1912 SIMPSON STREET
WHEREAS, Kathleen A. Riewe has requested variances to garage setback and driveway
width requirements for property at 1912 Simpson Street legally described as LoT 16, BLOCK 3,
JuxL'S ROSELAWN ADDITION No. 2; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the application at a duly called
public hearing and recommends denial.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Falcon
Heights that it does hereby deny the requested variances based upon the following findings:
1. The staff report dated 9/22/01 is incorporated herein by reference.
• 2. There is no undue hardship creating a need for the variances. The applicant
currently has a reasonable use of the property. A garage is already on the property. A two car
garage could also be constructed without any variances. The "plight" of the property owner is
not a result of any unique characteristics of the property.
3. Granting the variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
substantial property rights. Again, the property already has a garage and that garage could be
expanded to a two car garage without any variances.
