Mounds View City Council Page Four ~egular Meeting July 12, 1993 Mayor Linke stated that a variance request has to prove that there is a hardship unique to the property in existence and there is no hardship on this property that is unique to the property itself. Jim Thomson, City Attorney for the City of Mounds View, cited state law that is applicable to variance requests and the property in question does not meet the criteria for the granting of a variance. Mayor Linke reviewed the proposal and stated that he-would have to go along with the recommendation of the Planning Commission in regards to the fact that the car wash is not part of the primary. use of the property. Linke stated that almost all of the properties along the Highway 10 corridor face the same hardship as this parcel.
