Planning Commission Resolution 574-99 <br /> Norris Variance <br /> April 21, 1999 <br /> Page 2 <br /> WHEREAS, the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the <br /> hardship, in that maintaining a five-foot setback keeps the expansion flush with the proposed <br /> garage addition; 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 property owners in this district would also be encouraged to improve their <br /> properties with garages and additional living space; and, <br /> WHEREAS, the variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title <br /> or to other property in the same zone in that the addition provides for additional living space and <br /> will serve to increase the value of the home, and possibly the values of those surrounding the <br /> home; and, <br /> WHEREAS, the variance would not not impair an adequate supply of light and air to <br /> adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the <br /> danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values <br /> • within the neighborhood in that the living space addition will increase the value of the home by <br /> adding two bedrooms and allow for the expansion of the family room area on the main floor. The <br /> bedrooms will serve only those people already living within the structure which would not <br /> increase congestion on public streets or increase the danger of fire or restrict light and air to the <br /> adjacent properties. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Planning Commission <br /> acting as the Board of Adjustment and Appeals approves the variance request of Don Norris, to <br /> allow a living space expansion with a five-foot setback from the north property line at 5302 <br /> Raymond Avenue. <br /> Adopted this 21st day of April, 1998 <br /> Jerry Peterson, Chairman <br /> ATTEST <br /> Rick Jopke, <br /> Community Development Director <br /> SEAL <br /> • N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\DEVCASES\550-99\574-99ARES <br />
