Read Variance and CUP <br />June 28, 2004 <br />Page 16 <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning <br />Commission makes the following findings of fact related to the variance request: <br /> <br />1. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. <br /> <br />2. The maximum garage width allowed for an over-sized garage in an R-1 zoning <br />districts is 35 feet. <br /> <br />3. The applicant is proposing to construct a garage that is 48 feet wide, 13 feet in <br />excess of the permitted width. <br /> <br />4. The property is regularly shaped and is neither exceptional nor extraordinary <br />given the number of properties within the City that are zoned R-1. <br /> <br />5. The literal interpretation of the Code would not deprive the applicant of rights <br />commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district in that the property is <br />not unique compared to other properties in the same zoning district. <br /> <br />6. Granting a variance in this case would confer a special privilege not enjoyed by <br />other property owners in that there does not appear to be a sufficient hardship to <br />warrant approval of the variance. <br /> <br />7. The variance would be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title in that <br />there does not appear to be a sufficient hardship to warrant approval of the <br />variance. <br /> <br />8. The hardship criteria as identified in Section 1125.02 have not been satisfied. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning <br />Commission, based upon its review of the hardship criteria, testimony presented at the <br />public hearing and the identified findings of fact, does hereby deny the variance request <br />for a garage addition on the property located at 2208 Lois Drive. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission <br />that the applicant shall be notified of the right to appeal this denial to the City Council. <br />The appeal shall be submitted in writing within 10 business days of the adoption of this <br />Resolution. <br /> <br />Adopted this 19th day of May, 2004. <br /> <br />_____________________________________ <br />Gary Stevenson, Chairperson <br />ATTEST: <br /> ____________________________________ <br />James Ericson, Community Dev.
