Resolution 961-12 <br />Pa�e 2 <br />1. The general intent of the Zoning Code is create physical separation between <br />driveways for aesthetics and a sense of privacy for the property owners. <br />2. The variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in that the applicant is <br />improving the property. <br />3. The appiicanYs are requesting this variance only for safety reasons, which are <br />not often addressed by the zoning code. <br />4. The unique feature of this property is the high amount of vehicle and pedestrian <br />traffic on County Road H, and its ciose proximity to an elementary school. <br />5. The driveways have been combined with zero setbacks for many years, so there <br />will be no change to the existing character of the neighborhood. <br />6. The 5 foot variance is the minimum variance required to alleviate the applicant's <br />practical difficulty since that is what the zoning code requires for driveway <br />setbacks. <br />7. The Pianning Commission may impose conditions upon the premises as may be <br />necessary to comply with city standards and to minimize the effect of such <br />variance upon other properties in the neighborhood. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning <br />Commission, based upon the above findings, approves the variance request of Blaine <br />and Mary Fyksen, property owners of 5045 Eastwood Road, to allow a driveway to have <br />a zero setback, subject to the following: <br />1. The applicants must receive a zoning permit for the entire driveway area prior to <br />its replacement. �/ <br />Adopted this 2"d day of May, 2012. <br />ATTEST: <br />(SEAL) <br />�;- <br />� /� 2 <br />; �. � / � <br />Gary Steve on, Chair <br />� ann..�ro � <br />James Ericson, City Administrator <br />
