Resolution 927-10 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission <br />hereby makes the following findings related to this request: <br /> <br /> 1. The exceptional or extraordinary conditions relating to the variance request is this 7- <br />acre parcel is located entirely in a wetland district. <br /> <br /> 2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of the Zoning Code would deprive the <br />applicants of rights enjoyed by other properties in the same zone because his ability <br />to develop the property is limited by the additional regulations that were not in affect <br />when the property was purchased by the applicant. <br /> <br />3. The applicant cannot control the configuration of the property and the existing <br />wetlands. <br /> <br />4. Granting the variance would not confer upon the property owner a special privilege <br />denied to others in the same district due to the unique nature of the existing wetland <br />conditions present on the site. <br /> <br />5. The variance to allow lot widths reduced to 90 feet or greater is the minimum variance <br />that would alleviate the applicant’s hardship. <br /> <br /> 6. The reduced lot widths would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of the <br />Zoning Code or to other property in the R-1, Single-Family Residential zoning district. <br /> <br />7. Allowing the narrower lots would not impair the supply of light or increase congestion, <br />nor would it increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety or diminish <br />property values. <br /> <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning <br />Commission, based upon the above findings, does hereby approve the variance request of <br />Eichi, Inc. for reduced lot widths in a wetland district for the property known as Longview <br />Estates. Each of the lots in Longview Estates subdivision must be at least 90 feet wide and <br />there shall be no more than 10 lots for single-family residential dwellings in the subdivision. <br /> <br />Adopted this 16th day of June, 2010. <br /> <br /> <br />_____________________________________ <br />Gary Stevenson, Chairperson <br /> <br />ATTEST: <br />_____________________________________ <br />Kenneth Roberts, Community Development <br />Director <br /> <br />(SEAL)
