. . . NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission makes the following finding of facts related to this request: 1. The exceptional or extraordinary conditions relating to the variance request is that the home was initially constructed crooked on the lot, which causes limitations as to how the property can be improved. 2. The literal interpretation of the Zoning Code would restrict the property owner's ability to expand and improve upon the layout and functionality of the home. 3. The applicant has not caused the condition which prompted the variance request. 4. Granting the variance would not confer upon the applicant a special privilege. 5. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. 6. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone. 7. The variance would not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission, based upon the above identified finding of facts, does hereby approve the variance request to allow an addition to encroach six inches into the side setback of the applicant's property at 8471 Fairchild Avenue, subject to the following restriction: 1. This variance applies only to the portion of the home on the north side of the lot that currently exists nine feet six inches from the side lot line. Adopted this 19th day of November, 2003.
