<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Resolution 801-05 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />WHEREAS, a public heming was held Wednesday, July 20,2005, with regard to this <br />variance request; and, <br /> <br />\VHEREAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View <br />Municipal Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of which all <br />must be satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code. <br /> <br />NO\V, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission <br />hereby makes the following findings of fact related to this request: <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />The exceptional or extraordinary conditions relating to the variance request is that <br />the lot is non-confoffiling in area, fronts two streets with more than average street <br />frontage, is oddly configured which causes limitations as to how the propeliy can <br />be improved. <br /> <br />") <br /> <br />The literal interpretation of the Zoning Code would limit the property owners' <br />ability to make reasonable and desired use of the rear yard. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />The applicants are not the original owners of the propeliy and had nothing to do <br />with the platting of the land, the placement of the home and the placement of the <br />shed. <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />Granting a variance to allow for the six-foot tall fence and 120 square foot shed in <br />the front yard would allow the applicants to make more reasonable use of the <br />backyard and propeliy. <br /> <br />5. Granting the variance would not confer upon the property owners a special <br />privilege denied to others in the same district due to the unique nature of the <br />existing conditions present on the site. <br /> <br />6. The two-foot height variance for the fence and the location variance for the shed <br />would be the minimum variance that would alleviate the applicants' hardship. <br /> <br />7. The relocation of the shed and construction of the fence would not be materially <br />detrimental to the purpose of the Zoning Code or to other propeliy in the R-I, <br />Single-Family Residential zoning district. <br /> <br />8. A six foot tall fence and 120 square foot shed would not impair the supply oflight <br />or increase congestion, would not increase the danger of fire or endanger the <br />public safety or diminish property values, and would not impair sight lines along <br />O'Connell Drive or Jeffrey Drive. <br />
