Resolution 633-00 Septcmbcr 13,2000 Page 2 WHEREAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View Municipal Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of which all must be satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the criteria as identified in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View Municipal Code are satisfied and finds there to be sufficient hardship with regard to the property located at 7664 Greenfield Drive to warrant the approval of a variance for a 10-foot front yard and 15-foot side yard parking lot setback, a 10-foot side and rear yard building setback, a 61-foot parking lot width, and a "one space per 200 square feet" off-street parking requirement; and makes the following findings of fact related to its decision: I. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to 7664 Greenfield Avenue which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity in that the development potential of the lot is restricted by its size, by the County's previous acquisition of additional right of way for County Road I and by corner lot setback requirements. 2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this Title. . 3, The variance request is the result of factors over which the applicant has had no control. . 4. Granting the variances would allow the applicant to convert the vacant lot to a viable commercial development. Approval would not confer upon the property owner a special privilege denied to others in the same district in that this situation is very unique and not applicable to other properties in this district. 5. The Planning Commission finds that the requested variances to be the minimum variances that would alleviate the applicant's hardship. 6. Granting a variance for the proposed office building and parking lot would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone. 7.
