RESOLUTION NO. 99-83
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING PLANNING CASE 144-8
WHEREAS, JoAnn Chaika, owner of property located at 5084
Long Lake Road, has submitted an application to rezone this
property from R-l, Single Family Residential to R-2, Single and
Two Family Residential; and
WHEREAS, the rezoning is necessary due to the applicant's
desire to construct a second kitchen facility in her existing
single family home which constitutes, by definition, another
dwelling unit, thus requiring an R-2 zoning; and
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has received
and reviewed the staff planning report and other relevant
material regarding this application; and
WHEREAS, the entire area surrounding this property is
zoned R-l, Single Family Residential; and
WHEREAS, a rezoning of this parcel of land to R-2 would be
considered spot zoning which, according to the publication
entitled, "Local and Regional Planning in Minnesota" by Gunnar
Isberg, is defined as the rezoning of a single parcel of land or
a relatively small area for higher intensity use than land
surrounding the particular parcel of land; and
WHEREAS, the City has consistantly denied any rezonings
which constitute spot zoning; and
WHEREAS, a rezoning of this property from R-l to R-2 would
set a precedent whereby other property presently zoned R-l,
Single Family may request rezoning to R-2, which may seriously
weaken the integrity of the R-l zoning;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View
Planning Commission recommends to the City Council that the
request to rezone the property at 5084 Long Lake Road from the
exising R-l, Single Family zone to R-2, Single and Two Family
Residential zone be denied;
