applied to the Planning Commission by letter 455-96
outlining their reasons they feel there is a
hardship in this case and she presented the
summarized information to the Planning
Commission in a report. She explained that the
most significant items from the variance criteria
have to do with the lot being platted in 1939 at
its current width and added that there is no
additional unplatted or vacant land on that
block that could be purchased to add to this lot
to widen it. Director Sheldon noted there is
• sufficient land within the lot to create a

buildable area for a single family home, and if
the variance is not granted this lot would be
held vacant because they would be unable to •
get a building permit. She concluded by
recommending that the request be approved
based on the fact that it is not actions on the
part of the applicant that has caused the
problem and unless the variance is granted
they will not be able to use the lot for its typical
purpose in an R-1 district and that they ought to
be able to build a single family home on their
property. Director Sheldon noted that a
resolution had been prepared approving this
variance request and indicated that Jennifer
Bergman, representing the Mounds View
Economic Development Authority, was present.
It was noted by Director Sheldon that the
purpose of this request is to demolish the •
existing house and construct a new one as part
of the City's Housing Replacement Program
and to market the lot.
Chair Peterson stated that this item was
discussed at their previous agenda meeting.
Motion/Second: Stevenson/Brasaemle to adopt
Resolution No. 477-96 approving a lot width
variance request by the Mounds View
Economic Development Authority for 8265
Spring Lake Road, Planning Case No. 455-96.
Corrections to the resolution were noted: last

a conditional use permit and development behalf of the New
review for the development of a church facility Apostolic Church, for the
on property located at 3025 County Road H. Construction of a church
She noted that this item has been before the at 3025 County Road H,
Planning Commission at several previous Planning Case No.
meetings. She continued by saying that the 452-96
original application included a request for a
front setback variance, and as noted in the
report to the Planning Commission, the request
for a variance has been withdrawn and the
present plan before them does not require a
variance because the applicant has requested
that Pleasant View Drive be designated as the
front of the lot as opposed to County Road H.
She pointed out that the Zoning Code states
that the shortest dimension of a corner lot
should be used as the front unless they are
even dimensions on both roads. If this is the
case, the applicant could designate which one
would be used as the front. Since this property
will be developed from scratch, the Pleasant
View Drive frontage would be the frontage that
qualifies according to the Zoning Code. With
that in mind, Stahl Construction is proposing
the building 35' from Pleasant View Drive which
is the requirement and 30' from County Road H
which is the requirement for a side lot line on a
corner. Director Sheldon noted that residents
in the area were notified of a public hearing for
the variance because the City did not have the
new plan prior to the notice being sent out.
The other two parts of the application have to
do with the conditional use permit and the
development review, and at this time, Ms.
Sheldon went over a diagram of the lot and
proposed structure to explain changes in the
request that have occurred since the last
meeting. She also mentioned that the City
received a letter from the Fire Department
• questioning whether or not there was enough
maneuvering room for fire trucks in the newly

Special Meeting Page 4
designed parking lot, and two letters were
received from the applicant on the seating
capacity confirming that they are requesting
115 seats in the building. She also noted that
the City has received a number of phone calls
from residents in the neighborhood (she has
received three, the Clerk-Administrator has
also received at least two, and some of the
Council members have also received phone
calls) in opposition of this request.
(It was mentioned at this time that a sign up
sheet was being circulated and any persons in
attendance were asked to sign in).
Director Sheldon proceeded to explain the
changes in the new plan, including the parking
plan in detail. She mentioned that just this
evening she received word from Mr. Bill Diem
•
of Stahl Construction that a modification in the
parking design will be presented which moves
the driveway over to allow for the maneuvering
of emergency vehicles.
Ms. Sheldon explained that in the report she
had gone step by step through the criteria and
felt that there were a couple of areas where
the criteria was not met: the character of the
development and whether it fits into the
character of the neighborhood, noting that the •
proposed structure will be a story and a half
with the wall heights being 13-16 feet and, if
adding in the roof, will go from 26.5 to 29 feet
in height. She added that typically a home in
this neighborhood is one story (in the range of
15-16 in height) and the footprint is 2,054
square feet which is typically larger than the
average home. The other issue involved the
amount of buffering and it was noted that the
Code does not specifically address this issue
and what is "adequate" buffering for this •
request. She added that staff has looked, as a
UNAPPROVED
Mounds View Planning Commission September 18, 1996
• Special Meeting Page 5
way to judge the adequacy of the buffer, at
other church sites in Mounds View and found
that the narrowest buffer is 14' and the typical
buffer is around 29' to 30'. This particular
application has buffers of 10', 15' and a portion
in the center at 24' and she further explained
that the most critical areas to the adjacent
property owners are the narrowest, and this site
would have the narrowest buffers in the
community for a church. It is also on the
smallest site at '/ acre. The next smallest site
for a church is 1- 1,4 acres. Staffs view is that
the criteria related to buffering and compatibility
with the surrounding residential neighborhood
cannot be met.
At this time Director Sheldon explained the
proposed resolutions regarding this request.
• Resolution No. 475-96 is for denial of the
conditional use permit. Ms. Sheldon
recommended to the Planning Commission that
some further changes need to be made in the
resolution from the one in the packet. She
provided the Planning Commission with a
handout showing these changes. According to
the information received at 4:00 p.m. from the
Fire Department, there was not enough
maneuvering room on the site for emergency
vehicles so this information was added to the
findings in the resolution for approval (480-96).
The changes included: 1) dropping any
reference to the Fire Department's opinion
because putting in a statement that they
propose the plan, in a resolution for approval,
would be in appropriate, 2) correcting the
building square footage, 3) adding a reference
to the other drawings submitted by the
applicant, and 4) adding a sign at the Pleasant
View Drive driveway which wouild say "exit
only" because this driveway is so narrow.

Special Meeting Page 6 IP
For the development review package, the first
resolution is recommending denial if the
conditional use permit is not issued because
you would not be able to get to the next step of
approving the design layout. She added that
the only change to this resolution is to add in
the drawings. The changes to the last
resolution which would recommend approval of
the development review included dropping the
sentence having to do with the fire department,
adding the drawings, and adding an "exit only"
sign.
(Commissioner Obert arrived at 7:40 p.m.)
Chair Peterson explained that it was a public
hearing and that they would be opening the
meeting up for questions and comments from
the residents and assured those persons who •
have already attended the meetings and have
made comments that the Commission would
definitely take those comments into
consideration. He requested, for time sake,
that comments or remarks not be repeated. If
there were new remarks or if anyone new was
present, they would welcome any comments
they had.
Mr. Bill Diem of Stahl Construction addressed •
the Planning Commission. (Donald Kratt,
Evangelist for the Minnesota area New Apostlic
Church, and Pam Kratt were also present.) Mr.
Diem indicated that he has been in contact with
the Fire Marshall regarding the issue of the
entrance. Mr. Diem, at this time, went over the
provisions of the floor plan which he received in
his office at 3:00 that afternoon. He addressed
the number of pews and how much space
would be needed up front in the case of a
funeral. He indicated that final plans would be
prepared for the City Council. After reviewing •
the plans with the Fire Marshall, the applicant
UNAPPROVED
Mounds View Planning Commission September 18, 1996
• Special Meeting Page 7
is proposing to shift the entrance on County
Road H 15 feet to the west to allow better
emergency vehicle access which he indicated
would be acceptable by the Fire Marshall. He
indicated that the landscape plan has been
revised and that there are some comments in
the resolution for approval that address the
issues regarding type of plantings. Mr. Diem
explained that this proposal is 42.5 percent
green space which is documented through his
engineering firm and that if you add in the
green space all the way to the curb area, to the
south and to the west, the green space would
increase to 52.1 percent, and added that the
area of the building is nine percent.
He continued by comparing the churches in the
community, noting that the Cross of Glory is on
. a lot with 68,737 square feet and that the
building is a multi-use building with activities
other than church services going on at the
same time. He added that the building is 8,000
square feet which is four times larger than the
proposed facility and occupies 11 percent of
the site. The lot is only 3.2 times larger and
has 50 parking stalls which barely meets the
requirements. He continued by adding that
Church Upon the Rock has a building square
footage of 10,400 with total usable square
footage of 22,546 square feet. He added that
the building is 5 times larger than the one they
are presenting and occupies 14 percent of the
property and that the lot is only 3.4 times larger
and has 41 parking stalls based on their
seating capacity. He added that based on the
seating capacity that was given to him by the
minister, the church is short one-third of their
parking. He also informed the Commission that
he was in contact with Mr. Kent Smith and Ms.
Sue Barkwell of Ramsey County to address the
issue of property value. They researched as
far back as they could and found no request or

complaint on value reduction to property where
properties abut churches already built or in
where churches are proposed.
Commissioner Brooks asked Mr. Diem if they
had looked at other properties. Mr. Diem
replied that they had looked extensively at
other properties that were available or vacant,
either they were not for sale or they required
extensive soil corrections.
Steve Borden, 3009 County Road H, asked if
there would be a cement wall on the east side
of the 10 foot buffer zone. Mr. Diem explained
that no, there would not be a cement wall and
that it would be strictly landscaping.
Rochelle Moon, 6929 Pleasant View Drive,
indicated that she was still a little confused with •
the parking, the pews and how they come up
with the parking requirement. She was also
concerned about handicapped persons
attending the services who placed their wheel •
chairs behind the pews and they should be
counted to ensure adequate parking for the
church and felt that most people in wheel chairs
do drive. Mr. Diem replied that there is the
metro mobility service available that drops the
people off at the church and picks them up.
Director Sheldon indicated the if it is the
Planning Commission's feeling that more
parking spaces are needed, they should
estimate the number of places that the area
behind the pews represents and devise parking
at four to one. She also expressed, that in her
experience, she didn't think that the entire area
behind the pews would be used for a solid row
a wheel chairs. She suggested perhaps one
additional space be assigned to that aisle area.
Mr. Diem stated that the need for parking for
the handicapped individuals is addressed by
the handicapped stalls in the parking lot.
UNAPPROVED
Mounds View Planning Commission September 18, 1996
• Special Meeting Page 9
Commissioner Brasaemle expressed that he
did not think that the issue is whether or not
there is handicapped parking stalls because
they are required, but rather the total number of
parking spaces for the site. Director Sheldon
explained that what it may come down to is
whether the Planning Commission wants to
take the total required based on seating and
keep the handicap spaces separate when
determining if the total number required has
been met. Or does the Planning Commission
want to count the handicapped parking stalls
toward the total? Commissioner Miller
commented that a handicapped person who
has a sticker or tag does not necessarily mean
they are in a wheel chair and may be sitting in
the pews. Chair Peterson noted that it has
been the Planning Commission's practice to
count the handicapped spaces toward the total
required.
Victoria Otis-Dretsch, 6928 Pleasant View
Drive, indicated that she was not able to attend
any of the other meetings but did want to
express her concerns about accommodating for
future growth. Mr. Diem briefly explained the
church's situation on growth and indicated that
this issue was addressed at a previous
meeting.
Doris Friedland, 2925 County Road H, wanted
to know how many families were part of the
church's existing congregation. Mr. Diem
indicated that he did not have the list with him
but he believed the number of families to be
around 24 and indicated that the average size
family is around four persons. Ms. Sheldon
explained that the ratio for parking is linked to
seating capacity and that it is figured two
different ways: if you have fixed seating
. (theater type seats) there is one for every four
seats and if you have bench-style pews you

take the length of the pew and divide it by 22
inches to get a seat and then take that number
and divide it by four. Director Sheldon
expressed that the way the Code is written, the
plan has enough parking.
Commissioner Stevenson inquired as to the
maximum height of the steeple. Mr. Diem
replied that the steeple height varies with the
size of the building. Ms. Sheldon measured the
plans and indicated the steeple to be 41.5 feet
above the grade. Commissioner Miller asked if
it were a request for a single family home would
there be restrictions on how large they could
build the house? Director Sheldon indicated
that the Zoning Code does not have a coverage
limit, but we do have setback requirements.
Commission Miller indicated that it could be
conceivable that a home could be quite a bit
larger than the church proposal.
Mike Egger, 6952 Pleasant View Drive, had
concerns on what the property is zoned and it
was explained that it is zoned residential and
that the R-1 district allows churches with
approval of a conditional use permit. He also
expressed concerns with traffic.
Bill Mellon, 6953 Pleasant View Drive, inquired
about the fire department issue, and had
concerns with the driveway width and the
parking lot. Director Sheldon briefly went over
the parking plan and how it relates to
emergency vehicle access.
Dan Moon, 6929 Pleasant View Drive,
expressed his concern about how close the
proposed parking lot would be to his property
and the effects this would have on the value of
his home. He also expressed that he believes •
this is a gross overdevelopment of the property.

Steve Borden, 3009 County Road H, expressed
that he would like the Planning Commission to
go along with what City Staff is recommending,
that the building is too large and too tall (the
steeple), the parking lot is too large for this half
acre block, and that the development is grossly
oversized for their neighborhood which is green
and wooded and he would like to keep it that
way.
June Eikvar, 6986 Pleasant View Drive,
expressed her concern about on-street parking
and special events such as weddings and
funerals that will be held at the church and was
also concerned about the blind intersection
coming out of Pleasant View Drive south-
bound, looking at County Road H. She was
also concerned about the enforcement of fire
codes and the issue of snow plowing.
Commissioner Brasaemle inquired that in light
of the changes, is it Staff is position to still
recommend denial, and Director Sheldon
indicated, yes.
Dan Griffen, 2965 County Road H, who lives
directly across from the proposed entrance of
the parking lot asked if the plan was to cut
down all of the existing trees to create the
parking lot. Director Sheldon reviewed the
landscaping plan and indicated that 6 of the 12
trees proposed to be cleared are 20" oak trees.
Chair Peterson explained that the Planning
Commission will be making a recommendation
to the City Council who would take final action
on the request. Chair Peterson closed the
public hearing at 8:38 p.m.

related to the Fire Department since the
applicant had proposed a way to solve the
emergencyaccess problem.
Lynn Widseth, 3001 County Road H, wanted to
know if the Planning Commission recommends
denial and it goes to City Council, what will they
do with the information? Chair Peterson
replied by saying that one of the Planning
Commission's main jobs is to make sure that all
issues are explored. Director Sheldon also
replied by saying that the City Council receives
a staff report along with the Planning .
Commission's recommendation and a public
hearing will be held by the City Council and •
they will then make their decision.
Commission Brasaemle explained that this
decision has nothing to do with the church, its
membership or his feelings toward the church.
He was recommending denial because of lot
size and the fact that the he believes it to be an
overdevelopment of the lot that is designated
R-1, low density use and he concurs with
Staffs recommendation that the height and size
of the building do not fit the surrounding area.
He also expressed that he shares the concerns
with the surrounding property owners regarding
the parking lot and its effect on property values,
but stated that he understands property values
tend not to decrease when there is a church
built in a neighborhood. He stated that the
parking lot adds an extraordinary circumstance,
and that if this were a one acre lot and there
were more buffer, he would have no problem
with the request.

Mounds View Planning Commission September 18, 1996

Commissioner Brooks was concerned with how
the church fits in with the character of the
surrounding area.
Commissioner Miller stated that she would
have to go against this denial because some of
the items are fairly subjective and she
questioned what is adequate and added that
what is adequate for one person may not be
adequate for another. She believes that this is
a situation where people like things the way
they are and don't what to change, but she
feels if a property belongs to someone they
should have the opportunity to use that
property. She believes that the applicant has
gone through the criteria and they have met the
parking requirements and added more buffering
than the Code requires.
• Commissioner Johnston stated he believes that
it is too intense of a use for the lot and would
have no problem with a smaller church.
Commissioner Obert disagreed with the denial
on the basis that the applicant has done
everything that the City has asked of them and
believes that they have actually become more
accommodating. He felt there has been some
precedent already set in Mounds View as far as
the property of other churches. He believes
something else can be done yet to modify the
buffering issue and suggested that more
research be done.
Commissioner Stevenson does not want people
driving into Mounds View asking how did they
ever allow a church development like that in
Mounds View? He believes there is enough
things here that will definitely make him vote for
denial of the request.

Chair Peterson admitted that this has not been
an easy case for him to decide and he would
like to think of what is best for the City, the
neighborhood, and what the rights are of the
applicant, and how much have they been
willing to change to comply. He is a somewhat
concerned about the lot size and the size of the
parking lot, but he believes that many things
have been done to make it match our Code and
he does not believe it to be a terrible thing for
the neighborhood.

REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Meeting Date: October 2, 1996
Staff Report by: Pamela Sheldon, Community Development Director
Planning Case 457-96
File No.:
Request: The applicant is requesting a 20 foot variance from the 30 foot
setback requirement to allow construction of a three season porch
10 feet from the rear property line.
Petitioner: Ronald Gardner
Location: 8480 Pleasant View Drive
PIN No. 06-30-23-22-0072
Zoning/Land Use: The property is currently zoned R-1
Single Family Residential
Applicable Regulations:
• Section 1004.01, Subd 3., requires a 30 foot rear yard setback.
Section 1125.02 states the criteria for review of variances as follows:
a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the properties which do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity and result from lot size or shape,
topography or other circumstances over which the owners of the property since the effective
date hereof have had no control.
b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of rights
commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this Title.
c. That the special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant.
d. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege
that is denied by this Title to owners or other lands,structures or buildings in the same
district.
e. That the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship.
Economic conditions alone shall not be considered a hardship.
• f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.

g. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger
of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values
within the neighborhood. The Board of Adjustment and Appeals may impose such
restrictions and conditions upon the premises benefited by a variance as may be necessary to
comply with the standards established by this Title or to reduce or minimize the effect of
such variance upon other properties in the neighborhood and to better carry out the intent of
the variance.

Hardship Statement
Resolution 478-96
Background:
The applicant is requesting a variance to replace an existing deck with a three-season
porch on his property at 8480 Pleasant View Drive. The property is located on a cul-de- .
sac; therefore, the lot is an irregular shape and restricted the placement of the home at the
time of construction. The house was built in 1977, and is located 22 feet from the rear
property line. The applicant has indicated in his letter that the setback requirements at the
time were different. Staff has researched the Zoning Code and found that the rear setback
requirement was 20 feet in 1960, and was changed to the current 30 feet in 1970. We
understand that Mr. Gardner was the owner of the property when the house was built and
did receive a building permit for construction of the house. The certificate of survey from
1977 shows the house in its present location. We do not know why the house was
allowed to be built at 22 feet. The porch would replace a deck which was outside sliding
glass doors from the dining room in the Gardners' home. The applicant has provided the
City with floor plans for the house. (A copy of this area is attached.) They have indicated
that there is no other practical way to arrange the doorway from the dining room except to
the rear yard.
The applicant has submitted a hardship statement regarding his request. Mr. Gardner has
stated that he does have an irregular shaped lot which requires that the house be pushed
backward toward the rear property line, and makes it difficult to add any improvements on
the rear of the house. He notes that many of the neighbors have three-season porches, so
allowing the variance would not grant a special privilege. Without the variance, he would
be deprived of an improvement which many of his neighbors enjoy. He indicates that the
porch would be screened from his neighbor's property by existing trees. •

Analysis/Recommendation:
The lot in question is pie shaped because of the cul-de-sac, and does present practical
difficulties in locating the house on the lot. The property owner desires to convert the
area which has been used for a deck to a three season porch. The deck has been removed
but served a sliding glass door on the upper level of the house. The house is split level in
design and therefore the door is approximately 10 feet above grade. It is the applicant's
desire to use the existing design of the house, the arrangement of the dining room and the
location of the sliding glass door in adding the porch to the house. If no improvements are
made, the sliding glass door will open into space.
The Zoning Code allows decks off the main level of the house to encroach to within two
feet of the property line (Section 1104.01 Subd 5.c.) Three season porches, which are
enclosed structures, are not given this same allowance and must comply with the building
setback. The change proposed by the applicant from a deck to a three season porch
means different rules that apply, and a variance is required.
The three season porch would be 10 feet from the rear property line, with the bottom edge
• 10 above grade. The applicant has indicated that they will be enclosing the area between
the deck and the ground level to make it more attractive but not to finish it as a useable
room. The neighbor's house is on the opposite side of the lot from where the porch
would be located. The porch will be facing the open side yard on the abutting property
and will be screened by trees. The porch will be approximately 60 feet from the nearest
side property line.
Staff Recommendation: Adopt the attached resolution approving a reduction in the rear
setback requirement from 30 feet to 10 feet for construction of a three season porch at
8480 Pleasant View Drive; Planning Case No. 457-96.

Re: Planning Case 457-96 ----- -
Thank you for informing me that my application for a variance to construct
a three-season porch is tentatively scheduled for September 18. I am
happy to provide the additional information requested in your September 4
letter to explain how I feel I meet the criteria in the Zoning Code.
I believe a variance should be granted to allow me to construct a three-
season porch in the same location ascan existing deck. The following
circumstances, cited in the Criteria for Approval of Variances, will impose
an undue hardship, as well as practical difficulties, to me and my family
in the future use and enjoyment of our home and property.
a. The size and shape of my lot is quite different from other properties
in the vicinity. My lot is of an irregular size which does not have the
required rear property line set-hack. At the time my home was built in 1977,
the zoning codes were different than they; are today. I was allowed to build
my home, with a deck, with a shorter rear property line setback. As the
zoning codes are written today, I would have practical difficulties with •
construction of anything that I would do at the rear of my property,
including replacing an existing deck.
b.' My family and I would be deprived of the rights commonly enjoyed by
our neighbors--the enjoyment of a three-season porch such as many of my
neighbors now enjoy.
c. The lack of the required rear property line setback does not result
from my own actions, but rather from the zoning codes that were in existence
when I purchased the lot and built my home and the irregular shape of the
lot. I chose the lot because I found it a pleasant location and did not
- - - -='• -. '_ "••• • - •' - W4' •-come a •e iment to
future plans.
d. Granting this variance will not allow me any special privileges
as many of my neighbors have three-season porches and/or large decks.
e. I assure you that should this variance be granted, it would be the
minimum variance allowed to construct the three-season porch. No further
encroachment, other than that required, would be requested. This is
not a matter of economic hardship, but rather the hardship of not being
able to enjoy a portion of our home and property.
III

•
f. I can see no reason why the approval of the variance would in any
way be materially detrimental to the purpose of the zoning code or to
other property in the same zone.
g. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light or
- -air to the adjacent property. The porch would be barely visible to the
neighbors directly behind my property, and only then through an existing
row of mature trees and across their very deep backyards, making it
almost invisible to the neighboring home owners. Since the porch is
at the rear of my home, away from the street, no congestion would occur.
There would be no increase in the danger of fire or public safety since
the proposed porch is well away from the neighboring homes. Having a
well designed and well built porch would only add to the property values
within the neighborhood, .:.not diminish or impair them.
In closing, I appreciate the Planning Commission taking my request for
a variance into consideration. I trust that I have provided you with
clear and accurate information as to why I feel that a denial of my
request-would create an undue hardship, as well as a ,practical difficulty,
in the future use and enjoyment of my home and property.
Shouldl you desire further information or clarification, please feel free
to contact me.
• Sincerely,
Ronald L. Gardner

MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION •
RESOLUTION NO. 478-96
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION APPROVING A REDUCTION IN THE REAR SETBACK
REQUIREMENT FROM 30 FEET TO 10 FEET FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A THREE
SEASON PORCH AT 8480 PLEASANT VIEW DRIVE; PLANNING CASE NO. 457-96
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the request of Ronald
L. Gardner to allow a 10 foot rear setback where 30 feet is required for the construction of a
three season porch at 8480 Pleasant View Drive; and,
WHEREAS, this property is in the R-1 single family residential district and is located on a
cul-de-sac which causes the lot to be irregular in shape; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the criteria used to evaluate variance
requests; and, •
WHEREAS, the applicant presented a hardship statement to the Planning Commission
stating that the lot is irregular in shape which has caused the house to be constructed closer to the •
rear lot line than is typical and which makes it difficult to add improvements to the rear of the
house; and that three season porches are a typical improvement in this neighborhood and allowing
for the porch to be built would not be granting a special privilege; and,
WHEREAS, the exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to this property in that
the lot is irregular in shape, and required that the house be built closer to the rear lot line than is
typical for this district; and,
WHEREAS, the literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district in that three season
porches are a typical improvement in this neighborhood and elsewhere in the R-1 single family
residential district; and
WHEREAS, special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant in that the proposed location of the porch is necessitated by the location of the existing
house, the existing sliding glass door, and the floor plan for the dining room where the porch will
attach to the house; and,
WHEREAS; granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this Title to owners or other lands, structures or buildings in the same
district in that three season porches are a typical improvement for single family residences; and, •
• Planning Commission Resolution 478-96
October 2, 1996
Page 2
WHEREAS, the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the
hardship in that the existing residence is located 22 feet from the rear property line, and the
applicant is requesting to replace an existing 12 foot wide deck with the three season porch,
which will also be 12 feet wide. This width is the minimum amount needed to allow the porch to
be functional.
WHEREAS, the variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title
or to other property in the same zone in that the porch will be located in an area which is at least
60 feet from the nearest side property line, and is at the opposite end of the common property line
shared with the neighbor to the north, from the location of the northern neighbor's house. The
porch will be screened from the northern neighbor's property by trees.
WHEREAS, the proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the
danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values
within the neighborhood in that there is adequate screening and distance between the porch and
adjacent residences.
• NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Planning Commission
acting as the Board of Adjustment and Appeals approves the variance request of Ronald L.
Gardner for a reduction in the rear setback requirement from 30 feet to 10 feet for construction of
a three season porch at 8480 Pleasant View Drive.

REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Meeting Date: October 2, 1996
Staff Report by: Pamela Sheldon, Community Development Director 9Y-.
Planning Case 458-96
File No.:
Request: The applicant is requesting a variance in the building setback
between a residence and a detached garage from the required six
feet to three feet
Petitioner: Vic& Son Construction on behalf of property owners Terry and
Anne Jacobson
Location: 7090 Knollwood Drive
PIN No. 07-30-23-34-0012
Zoning Land Use: The property is currently zoned R-1,
Single Family Residential
41110 Applicable Regulations:
Section 1106.03, Subd lc., requires accessory buildings to be six feet (6') or more from
any other building or structure on the same lot.
Section 503.3 of the Uniform Building Code states that for the purpose of determining the
required wall and opening protection, buildings on the same property shall be assumed to
have a property line between them. When a new building is erected on the same property
as an existing building, the distances from the assumed property line is used to determine if
walls in either the existing or the new building must be fire rated. For single family homes
and detached garages, walls within 3 feet of the assumed property line must be fire rated.
Section 1125.02 states the criteria for review of variances as follows:
a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the properties which do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity and result from lot size or shape,
topography or other circumstances over which the owners of the property since the effective
date hereof have had no control.
. b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of rights
commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this Title.
1111 c. That the special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant.
Planning Case No. 458-96: 7090 Knollwood Drive
October 2, 19964110
Page 2
d. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege
that is denied by this Title to owners or other lands,structures or buildings in the same
district.
e. That the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship.
Economic conditions alone shall not be considered a hardship.
f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.
g. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger
of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values

restrictions and conditions upon the premises benefited by a variance as may be necessary to
comply with the standards established by this Title or to reduce or minimize the effect of
such variance upon other properties in the neighborhood and to better carry out the intent of
the variance.

Hardship Statement
Resolution 479-96
Background:
The applicant hired Vic & Son Construction to construct a second story addition and a
rear entrance to their home to protect the back door from weather. It consists of an
enclosed landing and flight of steps. There is an existing garage behind the house which
was not shown on the building plans. The rear entrance has been constructed and is
located within 3 feet 4 inches of the garage. Staff discovered the problem with the
distance between the rear entrance and the garage when inspecting the construction. The
garage was not shown on the building plans.
Section 1106.03 Subd. 1.c. requires accessory buildings to be at least six feet from any
other building or structure on the same lot. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow
the rear entrance to be less than the six foot requirement of the Zoning Code.

Analysis/
Recommendation: •
The rear entrance was placed in the only logical location available given the location of the
back door. The steps are directed toward the garage rather than away from the garage,
and provide easier access than if the flight of steps were reversed. The distance from the .
corner or the rear entrance to the corner of the garage is 3 feet 4 inches. The two
buildings do not actually overlap. The garage is 7 feet 8 inches from the back wall of the
house (see attached diagram).
The Building Code requires that if the entrance remains, either the wall of the entrance or
the wall of the garage must be fire rated. Adding 5/8" sheetrock to the walls of the garage
is sufficient to meet the requirement.
Staff Recommendation: Adopt the attached resolution approving a reduction in the
setback requirement from six feet to three feet between the principal residence and an
accessory garage building to allow construction of an enclosed rear entrance for the
residence at 7090 Knollwood Drive; Planning Case No. 458-96.

MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 479-96
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION APPROVING A REDUCTION IN THE SETBACK REQUIREMENT
FROM SIX FEET TO THREE FEET BETWEEN THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING AND AN
ACCESSORY GARAGE BUILDING TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN
ENCLOSED REAR ENTRANCE FOR THE RESIDENCE AT 7090 KNOLLWOOD
DRIVE; PLANNING CASE NO. 458-96
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission acting as the Board of Adjustment
and Appeals has reviewed the request of Vic& Son Construction, filed on behalf of Terry and
Anne Jacobson, to all a reduction in the setback requirement from six feet to three feet between
the principal building and an accessory garage to allow construction of an enclosed rear entrance
"for the residence at 7090 Knollwood Drive; and,
'WHEREAS, the property is located in the R-1 single family residential district; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant has presented a hardship statement to the Planning Commission
stating a desire to continue use of the existing rear entrance without changing all the exterior
landscaping and walks; and, 111
WHEREAS, exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to this property given the
location of the existing residence, the existing accessory garage, and the location of the rear door
from the residence, which limit options for providing an enclosed rear entrance which will provide
weather protection.
WHEREAS, the literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district in that the addition
of a protected entrance is a common improvement for homes in the R-1 district.
WHEREAS, the special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant in that the enclosed rear entrance is being added to a residence where both the residence
and garage exist, and the dimension between them is fixed. The location of the rear door is also
fixed, and is positioned such that the enclosure encroaches into the required setback.
WHEREAS, the granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any
special privilege that is denied by this Title to owners or other lands, structures or buildings in the
same district in that an enclosed entrance is a common improvement on single family homes.
WHEREAS, the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the
hardship in that the enclosure is only as wide as a typical stairway which serves the rear entrance. •
Planning Commission Resolution No. 479-96

October 2, 1996

•
WHEREAS, the variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title
or to other property in the same zone in that the enclosed entrance has no effect on adjacent
properties. With compliance with the contingency stated in this resolution, health and safety will
be protected.
WHEREAS, the proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the
danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values
within the neighborhood in that the location of the rear entrance and the garage is such that the
two buildings do not overlap and the minimum dimension of three feet is corner to corner. There
is 7 feet 8 inches between the garage and the residence otherwise. The addition of the enclosed
rear entrance will not contribute to congestion on public streets. With compliance with the
contingency stated in this resolution, safety from fire is addressed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Planning Commission
approves the variance request from Vic& Son Construction, on behalf on Terry and Anne
Jacobson, for a reduction in the setback requirement from six feet to three feet between the
principal building and an accessory garage building at 7090 Knollwood Drive, subject to the
following contingency:
•
1. Prior to final inspection and approval of the building addition at 7090 Knollwood
Drive, The property owner shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 1000 of
the Mounds View Municipal Code for fireproofing the walls of the garage, to the
satisfaction of the City Building Official.
Adopted this 2nd day of October, 1996.

REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Meeting Date: October 2, 1996
Staff Report by: Pamela Sheldon, Community Development Director
Planning Case 457-96
File No.:
Request: The applicant is requesting a variance to extend the current
concrete driveway to 1 foot of the side property line.
Petitioner: John R. Manning
Location: 7755 Spring Lake Road
PIN No. 06-30-23-33-0008
Zoning/Land Use: The property is currently zoned R-1
Single Family Residential
Applicable Regulations:
Section 1004.01, Subd 4., requires a 5 foot setback from any lot line. This section of the
Code states that a temporary parking surfaces may be within 5 feet (5')but not less than 1
foot (1') from any lot line with permission from the adjacent property owner.
Section 1121.09, Subd. 7, defines temporary surfacing of off-street parking as brick or
concrete pavers, gravel construction or asphalt construction. It states that no concrete
surfacing shall be allowed for temporary surfaces.
Section 1125.02 states the criteria for review of variances as follows:
a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the properties which do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity and result from lot size or shape,
topography or other circumstances over which the owners of the property since the effective
date hereof have had no control.
b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of rights
commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this Title.
c. That the special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant.
d. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege
that is denied by this Title to owners or other lands,structures or buildings in the same
• district.
Planning Case No. 459-96: 7755 Spring Lake Road
October 2, 1996
Page 2
e. That the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship.
Economic conditions alone shall not be considered a hardship.
f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.
•
g. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger
of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values
within the neighborhood. The Board of Adjustment and Appeals may impose such
restrictions and conditions upon the premises benefited by a variance as may be necessary to
comply with the standards established by this Title or to reduce or minimize the effect of
such variance upon other properties in the neighborhood and to better carry out the intent of
the variance.

Hardship Statement
Resolution 482-96
Background:
The applicant is requesting a variance to extend his concrete driveway within 1 foot of the
side property line. He lists several reasons why he feels a variance is appropriate in his
hardship statement. The area between his existing driveway and the property line is too.
shaded to grow grass because of pine trees on his neighbor's property. The area is an
eyesore and requires some kind of surfacing. His property fronts on Spring Lake Road
where parking is prohibited. He wants to expand the existing driveway to provide parking
for guests. Guest parking has been a problem and requires ferrying people from parking
elsewhere in the neighborhood or from the park. The pine trees on the adjacent property
provide a buffer. According to the plot plan provided by the applicant, the neighbor's
house is 80 feet from the side property line.
Staff requested Mr. Manning to contact his neighbor as to whether they would give
permission for a parking area within one foot of the property line. Mr. Manning was not
able to get written permission. Therefore his request is two-fold:
• to reduce the setback from property lines to parking areas regardless of whether
the neighbor gives written permission
• to allow the surfacing to be concrete rather than temporary material
•
•
• Planning Case No.459-96: 7755 Spring Lake Road
October 2, 1996
Page 3
Analysis/
Recommendation:
The strict application of the Zoning Code (Section 1121.09, Subd. 7) would only allow
the expansion of a parking area on Mr. Manning's property to within one foot of the side
property line if:
• the surfacing were temporary(brick or concrete pavers, asphalt construction or
gravel construction), and
• his neighbor gives written permission
Mr. Manning desires to use concrete since his existing driveway in the area which would
be extended is also concrete. The portion of the driveway which crosses Spring Lake
Road right-of-way is asphalt (see plot plan).
Variance Criteria (1125.02 Sub. 2)
The applicant has provided a letter addressing each of the criteria for granting variances.
In summary, the variance procedure is available to address situations where the normal
application of the Zoning Code would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed
by other properties in the same district. Allowing Mr. Manning to expand his parking area
would address the hardship created by the parking restrictions on Spring Lake Road and
the problems caused by the area along his side property line being shaded.
This difficulty caused by parking restrictions is not unique to this property, however. Mr.
Manning has the ability to add 6 additional feet in width (to five feet from the property
line) using concrete without special permission from the City. He could add additional
width on the north side of the driveway. The problems with his lawn could be addressed
through a different type of landscaping.
Allowing parking areas within one foot was added to the ordinance when parking was
restricted on Mounds View streets. Particular thought was given to limiting such parking
areas to only temporary surfacing and with permission of the neighboring property. When
parking areas are placed within one foot of a property line, there is very little ability to
provide buffering between the parking area and the neighbor. The requirement to obtain
written permission from the neighboring property owner recognizes that parking areas that
close may have an impact on the neighbor. Granting this variance would run counter to
the very purpose for the Code requirement.
Staff Recommendation:
Approval of the attached resolution denying a request for a concrete parking area within
• one foot of a side property line at 7755 Spring Lake Road.

Re: 7755 Spring Lake Road
Zoning Code Varience Request
The code that limits concrete paving to within 5 feet of a property line
seems to be restrictive for these unusual circumstances:
1. A line of 50 Pine trees. on the rear of the adjacent property is an on
going problem. This long line of trees dwarf the property line, and hang
over a fence, shading the entire South side of 7755 Spring Lake Road.
Maintainance on this side isnever ending due to the long needles they
produce and the weeds that they encourage. Grass has been planted in
this area numerous times but fails to grow because of the pine needles and
continual shade. The area has been taken over by unmaintained weed
growth on the neighboring side along the fence.
2. The code seems more applicable to properties adjacent (side-by-side)
each other rather than where a side property line meets a rear
property line.
3. The Pine trees along the property line have reached a mature
state with an average height of 20 to 30 feet tall. The trees have
been causing the above listed problems for many years.
4. The boulivard in front of 7755 Spring Lake Road has been
designated as a No Parking Zone and has been a continual
parking problem when guests visit. Having 2 additional
parking spaces on the driveway at 7755 Spring Lake Road will
make it convenient and safe for guest vehicles.
5. An off set of 1 foot from the property line would make this
project practicle and also clean up the property which has
been an eyesore for many years.
6. This additional parking area has been suggested by other
home owners living along the portion of Spring Lake Road
where the No Parking Zone has been designated.
7. Concrete pavement, to match the exsisting driveway, will
only improve the property along this line and will relieve an
ongoing parking problem.
Sincerly,
• John Manning

RESOLUTION NO. 482-96
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION DENYING A REQUEST FOR A CONCRETE PARKING AREA
WITHIN ONE FOOT OF A SIDE PROPERTY LINE AT 7755 SPRING LAKE ROAD;
PLANNING CASE NO. 459-96
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission acting as the Board of Adjustment
and Appeals has reviewed the request of John R. Manning to build a concrete parking area within
one foot of a side property line where five feet is required on property located at 7755 Spring
Lake Road; and,
WHEREAS, the property is located in the R-1 single family residential district; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant has presented a hardship statement to the Planning Commission
citing the difficulties caused by the parking restrictions on Spring Lake Road, the need for more
guest parking, and the problems keeping a lawn growing in the area proposed for the parking area .
because it is shaded by pine trees on the adjacent property owner's lot; and,
WHEREAS, the allowance for parking areas within one foot of a property line was added
to the Zoning Code when the City imposed parking restrictions on all City streets; and,
WHEREAS, considerable thought was given to the conditions under which such parking
areas would be approved; and,
WHEREAS, the Zoning Code specifically states that these parking areas are to be
constructed using temporary materials which are defined as brick or concrete pavers, gravel
construction or asphalt construction, and that no concrete surfacing is to be used; and,
WHEREAS, the Zoning Code specifically states that a property owner proposing a
parking area within one foot of a property line shall obtain the permission of the adjacent property
owner; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing a concrete parking area and has been unable to get
permission of the adjacent property owner; and,
•
110 Planning Commission Resolution 482-96
October 2, 1996
Page 2
WHEREAS, this variance request fails to meet the following criteria for granting a
variance as stated in Section 1125.02 of the Zoning Code.
1. There are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances which apply to this
property which do not apply generally to other properties in the vicinity in that all
of the properties fronting on Spring Lake Road in this area have the same parking
restrictions; and,
•
2. The granting of the variance would confer on the applicant a special privilege in
that he would be allowed to build a parking area within one foot of the side
property line without the consent of the neighboring property owner. The
requirement for permission was included when the allowance for such parking
areas was added to the Zoning Code, and is a key provision which recognizes the
possible impact on neighboring properties and protects the public welfare.
3. Other alternatives are available to the applicant for providing additional guest
parking on his property without needing a variance. There are 11 feet 6 inches
between the existing driveway and the side lot line, allowing for six feet of parking
• area to be added to the driveway within the required five foot setback. The
applicant could also add to the north side of the driveway. The variance requested
is not the minimum needed.
4. The variance will be materially detrimental to the purpose of the Zoning Code and
to other property in the same zone in that the Code provisions specifically and
intentionally requires permission from the adjacent property owner, and such
permission has not been given.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Planning Commission
does hereby deny the variance req - . . .n rete .arkin• area within one foot of a side
property line at 7755 Spring Lake Road.
Adopted this 2nd day of October, 1996.

PLANNING COMMISSION
MEMO
To: Mounds View Planning Commission
From: Pamela Sheldon, Community Development Director
Subject: Late Packet Item: Ordinance on Parking Lot Setback
Additional Agenda Item
Date: October 1, 1996
Ordinance on Parking Lot Setbacks: I would like to apologize to the Planning Commission for
how late you are receiving the staff report on Item#8 on your meeting agenda for October 2. I
had planned to prepare this report on the weekend and deliver it, but was not able to do so
because of illness. As is noted in the report, I will be glad to review the two ordinances which
accompany the report at your meeting and how they differ at the meeting, in case you do not have
the time to review them in detail. Based on the 60-day rule, you do not need to take action on
this item until October 9, but it would require you having a quorum and calling to order at that
• meeting.
Additional Item: At the City Council study session on September 30, the subject of Council
liaisons was discussed. The chairman of the Economic Development Commission was at the
meeting and expressed a desire for closer communication between the City Council and the EDC.
Several ideas for improving communication between the City Council and all of the commissions
were discussed including the following:
• Have the chairman, or a member appointed by the Commission, report on the activity of
the Commission each month at a regular Council meeting. This information would then be
• •-: . : •- Q - - . • . . . CO . . _• _._ • _ .t • . .- .:. ..'''••� _
would have more visibility, and citizens would be better informed on what the
commissions do.
• Have the minutes from each of the commissions available to the other commissions.
• Have an annual or biannual meeting between the City Council and each commission to
discuss goals and objectives for the work of the Commission, and to allow time for
discussion of issues. Perhaps the meeting with Planning Commission and City Council
should be combined with the EDC because of overlapping areas of interest.

Item #8
PLANNING COMMISSION
MEMO
To: Mounds View Planning Commission
From: Pamela Sheldon, Community Development Director
Subject: Setbacks for Parking Lots for Non-Residential Uses
Planning Case No. SP-008-96
Date: October 1, 1996
Meeting on October 2, 1996
Issue
•
Mr. Danny D. Moon, a property owner in Mounds View, has requested the Zoning Code be
amended to require a minimum 15 foot setback between parking lots and property lines, when the
parking lots are for churches or any commercial uses, when these uses abut residential uses. At
your last meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed a proposed ordinance on this issue. The
• proposed ordinance also included a minimum lot size requirement for churches and commercial
uses, and a number of clean-up items.
The City Attorney has advised that it is best to proceed as if the 60-day rule applies to this
request. Staff has notified Mr. Moon that the City is extending the time period for review of his
request for an additional 60 days, or a total of 120 days from the date of submittal. The Planning
Commission needs to act on Mr. Moon's request by October 9 in order for staff to have enough
time to place this request before City Council for action.
At your last meeting, the Planning Commission requested an ordinance be drafted which
addressed Mr. Moon's specific reque : •e •= : . •:. e ••••••••11111. lot size requirement for
churches and commercial uses.
•
Discussion
Staff has prepared two ordinances for the Planning Commission's review. Draft#4 is a barebones
proposal which adds Mr. Moon's request to our existing Code, and a one acre minimum lot size
for churches and any commercial uses in the R-1, R-2, R-3 and R-4 districts. Draft#4 includes no
cleanup items, and more or less relies on the way the existing Code is organized. Staff feels that
there are some problems with this approach and would urge the Planning Commission to consider
. Draft #3.
Mounds View Planning Commission •
Page 2
October 1, 1996
Draft#3 includes Mr. Moon's request, and also includes some reorganization of Code provisions
and some clean up items which staff feels are important to our administration of the Code.
Given the short time frame available to the Planning Commission for review of these two
ordinances, staff is prepared to go over them in detail at your meeting on October 2.
