VR03-010 <br />WHEREAS, the applicant, Velmeir Companies, has applied for a variance from <br />the minimum front and rear setbacks for a retail commercial redevelopment project at <br />2800 County Highway 10; and, <br />WHEREAS, Section 1104.02 of the Mounds View Zoning Code indicates that the <br />minimum front setback for a parking lot is 30 feet and the minimum rear setback is 5 <br />feet; and, <br />WHEREAS, The Planning Commission reviewed the following materials relating <br />to this request: <br />1. Application <br />2. Zoning Map <br />3. Location Map <br />4. Site Plan <br />5. Applicant's Statement <br />6. Photographic Documentation <br />WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing regarding <br />this variance on Wednesday, November 5, 2003; and, <br />WHEREAS, 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 <br />all must be satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission <br />makes the following finding of facts related to this request: <br />1. The exceptional or extraordinary conditions relating to the variance request are <br />that the lots are irregularly shaped and additional irregularly shaped land will be <br />added to the site to help meet parking and ponding needs forthe redevelopment <br />of the former Amoco gas station. <br />2. The literal interpretation of the Zoning Code would create a hardship for the <br />applicant in that there are unique redevelopment challenges not normally <br />associated with raw land development. <br />
