,. _ , Mounds View Planning Commission Regulax Meeting July 18, 2001 Page 4 Planning Associate Atkinson explained the variance is for a setback of 12 feet instead of 1-5 feet. He mentioned this is a correction that should be made to the Staff Report. He`pointed out #hat the proposed building is a little bigger than what is on the site plan. Because the lot shape is a triangle, a variance of 25 feet is being sought for the front yard. There are 7 criteria'needed for a variance, which are listed in the Staff Report. In Staff s opinion; the shape of khe lot and size of the lot would be grounds to consider a variance. Planner Atkinson explained a resolution is included in the Staff Report. If this is approved by the Plann�ng Commission, the item would not go to the City Council. This is a final step. r� - The second issue is a Conditional Use Permit.
