Planning Commission Resolution 558-98 <br /> September 2, 1998 <br /> Page 2 <br /> WHEREAS, the literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the <br /> applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district in that nearly <br /> twenty percent of the corner lots surrounding the subject property have two curb cuts; and, <br /> WHEREAS, special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the <br /> applicant in that the driveway's existence predates the enactment of the Ordinance which <br /> p[rohibits two curb cuts; and, <br /> WHEREAS, granting the variance requested would not confer on the applicant a special <br /> privilege that is denied by this Title to owners or other lands, structures or buildings in the same <br /> district in that other corner lots within the City have two curb cuts; and, <br /> WHEREAS, the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the <br /> hardship, in that adding the second curb cut is the minimum variance possible to alleviate the <br /> hardship of living on a corner lot; and, <br /> WHEREAS, the variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title <br /> or to other properties in the same zone in that maintaining the public safety does not conflict with <br /> the City Code; and, <br /> • WHEREAS, the variance would 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 of fire <br /> or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the <br /> neighborhood in that approving the variance for a second curb cut at this location would lessen <br /> the endangerment to public safety. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Planning Commission <br /> acting as the Board of Adjustment and Appeals approves the variance to allow two curb cuts at <br /> 8111 Eastwood Road as requested by Michael Tobias. <br /> Adopted this 16th day of September, 1998. <br /> Jerry Peterson, Chairman <br /> ATTEST <br /> Rick Jopke, Community Development Director <br /> • SEAL <br /> N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMD EV\DE VCASES\535-98\558-98A.RES <br />
