. . . . WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing regarding the variances and development review on Wednesday, May 19, 2004; and, 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 makes the following finding of facts related to this request: 1. The exceptional or extraordinary conditions relating to the variance request are that the lot is irregularly shaped and therefore difficult to develop further. 2. The literal interpretation of the Zoning Code would create a hardship for the applicant. 3. The applicant has not caused the condition that prompted the variance requests. 4. Granting the variances would not confer upon the applicant a special privilege. 5. The variances requested are the minimum variances which would alleviate the hardship in that they are the minimum necessary to allow the proposed addition to match the existing addition and allow large trucks to travel through the property. 6. Granting a variance to allow for the utilization of the front setback would not be detrimental to the Zoning Code in that the current building exists thirty- eight feet from the front property line and the reduced parking setback and additional curb cut would not have a negative impact on the surrounding areas. 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 requested for a thirty-eight foot front building setback, a seven foot front parking setback and an additional curb cut at 2151 Mustang Drive, subject to the following requirements: 1. The property shall have no more than three curb cuts. 2. The proposed addition shall be completed within one year of City Council approval or the variance shall be null and void.
