Scotch Variance and CUP Report July 7, 2004 Page 15 5. The requested 2.5-foot variance is the minimum amount necessary to alleviate the applicant’s hardship. Economic conditions do not enter into the need for a variance in this case. 6. The variance requested would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of the Code or to other properties in the vicinity. The spirit and intent of the Code is preserved. 7. Granting the variance would not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties, would not increase the congestion of the public streets, would not increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety and would not diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission unconditionally approves the requested variance for a 37.5 foot wide garage and recommends approval of the conditional use permit for the 1,125 square foot garage, with conditions as follows: 1. The garage shall not be used for commercial purposes, living space or other uses not allowed within the R-1 Single-Family Residential district or by the Zoning Code. Should the use change for which the permit was granted; the conditional use permit shall be considered null and void. 2. The garage expansion shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform appearance with the existing house. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission directs staff to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes. Adopted this 7th day of July, 2004. _____________________________________ Gary Stevenson, Chairperson ATTEST: ____________________________________ James Ericson, Community Development Director (SEAL)
