~ . . . NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact related to the variance request: 1. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. 2. The maximum garage width allowed for an over-sized garage In an R-1 zoning districts is 35 feet. 3. The applicant is proposing to construct a garage that is 48 feet wide, 13 feet in excess of the permitted width. 4. The property is regularly shaped and is neither exceptional nor extraordinary given the number of properties within the City that are zoned R-1. 5. The literal interpretation of the Code would not deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district in that the property is not unique compared to other properties in the same zoning district. 6. Granting a variance in this case would confer a special privilege not enjoyed by other property owners in that there does not appear to be a sufficient hardship to warrant approval of the variance. 7. The variance would be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title in that there does not appear to be a sufficient hardship to warrant approval of the variance. 8. The hardship criteria as identified in Section 1125.02 have not been satisfied. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission, based upon its review of the hardship criteria, testimony presented at the public hearing and the identified findings of fact, does hereby deny the variance request for a garage addition on the property located at 2208 Lois Drive.
