RESOLUTION NO. 5299
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
ST A TE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION APPROVING AN APPEAL OF A V ARlANCE DENIAL FOR TWO CURB
CUTS AT 81 I I EASTWOOD ROAD, REQUESTED BY MICHAEL TOBIAS; PLANNING
CASE NO 535-98.
WHEREAS, Michael Tobias has appealed a Planning Commission variance denial to the
City Council regarding a request to maintain two curb cuts at his property located at 811 I
Eastwood Road, legally described as:
Subject to Shenvood and Eastwood Roads, The East 215 Feet of the West 1799
Feet of the South 200 Feet of the NE 1/4 of Section 6, Township 30, Range 23
WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council finds that the elimination of one of the two
curb cuts present at 8111 Eastwood Road would require the applicant to back out of his driveway
in a reverse motion, which is inherantly more hazardous that pulling out in a forward motion; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council finds it appropriate to maintain existing non-
conforming driveways in that they may be repaired, resurfaced or reconstructed consistent with
current standards so long as the extent of the non-conformity is not made greater; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council has directed its staff to draft and prepare an
ordinance amending the Mounds View City Code to clarify the language concerning the
maintenance and repair of driveways of a non-conforming status; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council finds there to be no negative public safety
issues relevant to maintaining two curb cuts at 8111 Eastwood Road, a corner lot, that would
necessitate the elimination of one of the two curb cuts.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council
overturns Planning Commission Resolution No. 588-98, a resolution denying a variance for two
curb cuts at 81 I I Eastwood Road.
Adopted this 25th day of January, 1999.
