. . . .. "~esolution 727-03 \ Page 2 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission hereby makes the following findings of fact related to this request: 1. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances DO apply to this property in that the lot is only 66 feet wide, the existing garage is at the same requested setback, and mature trees in the backyard limit options for siting of a new garage. 2. The configuration of the lot and the location of the house create circumstances whereby literal interpretations WOULD deprive the applicants of rights in that the setback requirements are based on a minimum 75-foot wide lot. 3. The applicants did NOT cause the special condition or circumstance. 4. Granting a variance to allow the garage to be reconstructed one-foot off the property line would NOT confer on to the applicants any special privilege. 5. The one-foot setback variance IS the minimum setback required to alleviate the hardship. 6. The variance would NOT be materially detrimental to the purposes of the Zoning Code or to any property in the Single-Family residential zoning district. 7. The reduced setback would NOT impair a supply of light or increase congestion, nor would it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or diminish property values. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission, based upon its review of the documentation, testimony presented at the public hearing, and the identified findings of fact, does hereby approve the request for a variance to allow for a one-foot garage setback at 7375 Pleasant View Drive, contingent upon the following: 1. The applicant shall arrange to have the property surveyed to determine without question the location of the lot line and the setback of the garage prior to issuance of the building permit.
