The lot meets and exceeds all minimum zoning requirements, is rectangular without any slope or any topographical deviations. 2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of the Zoning Code would not deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of the Code. 3. Without an evident hardship tied to the property itself, it would be inappropriate to grant a variance to allow for an 8-foot fence in a front yard to mitigate a dispute between neighbors and would set a precedent for other property owners. 4. Granting a variance for to allow for an 8-foot fence in a front yard would be materially detrimental to the purpose of the Zoning Code in that tall fences are prohibited to ensure suitable visibility and to promote a community spirit and neighborhood cohesion. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission denies the variance request for a fence with a height in excess of 4 feet in the front yard ofthe property located at 8438 Groveland Road.
