That the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. <br /> Economic conditions alone shall not be considered a hardship. <br /> f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other <br /> property in the same zone. <br /> g. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent <br /> property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger <br /> of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values <br /> within the neighborhood. The Board of Adjustment and Appeals may impose such <br /> restrictions and conditions upon the premises benefited by a variance as may be necessary to <br /> comply with the standards established by this Title or to reduce or minimize the effect of <br /> such variance upon other properties in the neighborhood and to better carry out the intent of <br /> the variance. <br /> Attachments: Planning Application • <br /> Zoning Map <br /> Surveyor's Certificate <br /> Hardship Statement <br /> Resolution 477-96 (for approval) <br /> Background: <br /> Due to the deteriorating condition of the house located at 8265 Spring Lake Road, the <br /> Mounds View Economic Development Authority(EDA) is in the process of purchasing <br /> the property. The EDA created a Housing Replacement Program to demolish hazardous <br /> homes and to redevelop lots to provide safe, decent and sanitary housing. <br /> The house located at 8265 Spring Lake Road was foreclosed by the Department of <br /> Housing and Urban Development and offered to the EDA to purchase prior as a result of <br /> the poor condition of the home. The poor condition of the home made the home ineligible <br /> for an FHA loan. The EDA sent an appraiser out to survey the condition of the property <br /> and found that the foundation was bowing which would eventually collapse. It is the <br /> intention of the EDA to demolish the house and sell the property to a buyer/developer <br /> team for redevelopment of the lot: <br /> The property is a corner lot with dimensions of 80' x 218'. According to the Mounds <br /> View Municipal Code, a 100' frontage is required for a corner lot. Prior to proceeding <br /> with redevelopment, the EDA is applying for a variance to recognize the existing lot <br /> dimensions and to assure that a replacement home may be built on the lot. <br /> • <br />
