Location: 5249 Greenfield Avenue PIN No. 08-30-23-31-0021 Zoning/Land Use: R-1, Single Family Residential/ single family home Applicable Regulations: • Section 1104.01, Subd. 5, regarding encroachments: "Terraces, steps, decks, stoops or similar features; provided they do not extend above the height of the ground floor level of the principal structure or to a distance less than two feet (2') from any lot line." Section 1125.02, Subd. 2 outlines the criteria to be used by the Planning Commission in its review of variances. Attachments: Planning Application Zoning Map Site Plan Resolution 556-98 Background: The applicant is requesting a variance from the required two-foot side yard setback established for decks, terraces or sidewalks. He has constructed an sidewalk alongside his garage located at 5249 Greenfield. The new sidewalk, which accesses a shed in the rear yard, replaced a walkway of railroad ties that had been present for twenty years, but had fallen into disrepair. The property alongside the garage slopes down, requiring that the sidewalk be supported by footings. The sidewalk is approximately four feet wide and is within inches of a chain link fence that separates the subject property from the property to the north. In addition to the garage, there is an above- ground pool surrounded by patio and landscaping, all of which is enclosed by a five-foot tall privacy fence. The shed is outside of this fenced-in area. White Variance Planning Case No. 533-98 • September 2, 1998 Page 2 Analysis: At the last Planning Commission meeting, significant discussion was held regarding the merits of this case as well as the interpretation of the language in the Code regarding setbacks. Because of many factors, such as the slope of the land north of the garage, safety considerations and lack of access elsewhere on the lot, the Planning Commission acted to table the request to enable staff to draft both approval and denial versions of the resolution. 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. The factors which could be construed as extraordinary relating to this request include the slope of the land laying between the garage and the adjoining property and the fact that the shed is located outside of the enclosed pool area, which takes up a majority of the backyard. The shed faces north, toward the adjoining property. Access to the shed then is gained most conveniently from alongside the north side of the garage. Because of the slope, the sidewalk had to be supported by footings to be level. • 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. If the variance request was denied, the applicant would either need to remove the sidewalk completely from alongside the shed, which would be a hardship given a sidewalk has existed in this location for more than twenty years, or cut the sidewalk back a foot. In so doing, a gap would be left between the sidewalk and the chain-link fence which is on the applicant's property. It was felt that this gap would pose a considerable safety risk due to the height of the fence and slope of the land. c. That the special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. The slope of the land in this aea is the primary basis for the variance request, a condition over which the applicant has no control. • d. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Title to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. White Variance Planning Case No. 533-98 • September 2, 1998 Page 3 The allowed setback for garages within the City is five feet, and many garages are constructed at this setback. All property owners are allowed to use this five-foot area, which many utilize for access to the rear of a property. Thus, granting the variance will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Title to owners of 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. Given that the setback is only two feet for a sidewalk, and the fence (presumably) is not on the property line, the variance requested is minimal--probably one foot to one and a half feet. f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone. Because driveways are allowed to within one foot of a property line (with the permission • of the adjacent property owner) it can be reasonably expected that a sidewalk should be subjected to a similar setback. Granting a variance to allow this would not be detrimental to the purpose of the Code. 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 If the variance were to be granted, it would not impair any neighboring properties' supply of light or air, it would not create any additional traffic impact nor would it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety. There would be no impact to property values. According to the City Code, all of the preceding criteria shall be satisfied in order to justify the granting of a variance. As pointed out in the above responses, a hardship can be shown to exist, which would allow for the granting of a variance. • White Variance Planning Case No. 533-98 411 September 2, 1998 Page 4 Recommendation: Adopt Planning Commission Resolution 556-98, a resolution approving a variance for Timothy White of 5249 Greenfield Avenue, to allow for a reduced side yard setback for a deck-like sidewalk.

Planning Application 2. Location Map 3. Zoning Map 4. Site Plan WHEREAS, the sidewalk for which this variance is requested by the applicant has already been constructed, replacing a sidewalk that had been present in excess of twenty years; and, WHEREAS, exceptional or extraordinary circumstances do apply to the property 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. 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 slope of the land laying between the garage and the adjoining property necessitates that some type of walkway be constructed to access the garden area and shed to the rear of the garage; and, WHEREAS, special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant in that the grade of the land is somewhat inhibitive for access without a leveling of the • grade (which could disrupt drainage) or installation of a sidewalk; and, • Planning Commission Resolution 556-98 September 2, 1998 Page 2 WHEREAS, granting the variance requested would not confer on the applicant a special privilege that is denied by this Title to owners or other lands, structures or buildings in the same district in that other property owners have unobstructed access to the area between their garage and property line; and, 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 the City Code allows driveways--a more intensive use--to be located within one foot of a property line; and, WHEREAS, the variance would 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 a sidewalk would have no impact upon property values, supply of light or air, and may even decrease the risk to public safety. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Planning Commission acting as the Board of Adjustment and Appeals approves the variance request of Timothy White, • to allow a sidewalk within the two-foot sideyard setback at 5249 Greenfield Avenue.

Location: 2200 - 2214 Highway 10 PIN Nos. Mermaid: 08-30-23-43-0006, 08-30-23-43-0007, 08-30-23-43-0008 Perkins: 08-30-23-41-0010 • Zoning/Land Use: B-3, Highway Business District/Bowling & Entertainment Center, Restaurant Applicable Regulations: Section 1104.01, Subd. 4c(2)(b): Parking lots shall maintain a five-foot setback from the side and rear property lines. Section 1125.02, Subd. 2 outlines the criteria to be used by the Planning Commission in its review of variances. Attachments: Planning Application Zoning Map Site Plan Joint Use Agreement Resolution 560-98 Background: The applicants are requesting a variance from the required five-foot setback established for parking lots in a business district. The parking lot for the Mermaid has been expanded and resurfaced in • accordance with the development plans submitted to and approved by the City on May 11, 1998. It was discovered after the fact that the development plans were in error, such that the parking lot north of the building encroaches into the required sideyard setback and in one area crosses the property line onto the Perkins property. Mermaid / Perkins Parking Lot Variance Planning Case No. 536-98 • September 16, 1998 Page 2 Analysis: To compensate the Perkins property, the Mermaid has opened a secondary access drive between the two businesses, complementing the existing joint access. This access should serve to increase circulation between the sites and to improve the safety of Mermaid patrons by diverting Perkins traffic to the rear of the Mermaid. In addition, representatives from both properties have entered into a joint use agreement, such that both properties are protected in the event either use or ownership should change. In addition, the City will require that a cross-access and shared parking easement be filed with Ramsey County to legitimize the arrangement. This document is being drafted by the City Attorney and should be available to the Commission and applicants prior to the meeting. According to Section 1125.02 of the City Code, the following seven criteria need to be satisfied in order for a variance to be justified. Economic factors alone do not justify variance and the property owner cannot be responsible for the action or condition that necessitates the approval of a variance. The criteria, with responses, are as follows: 1 Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property 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. - The development plans prepared for the Mermaid expansion and adopted by the City Council were in error, resulting in the parking lot being constructed over the five-foot setback and onto the adjacent property. 2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district. The parking is required to be installed in accordance with the development agreement and the parking requirements as imposed by the City Code, which apply for all uses within the City. 3. Special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. The site plans were drafted by outside consultants, upon whose expertise and abilities the applicant and City had entrusted and believed to be accurate. 4. Granting the variance requested would not confer on the applicant a special privilege that a is denied by this Title to owners or other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. Other properties within the City have combined parking lots and joint accesses. Planning Commission Resolution 560-98 • September 2, 1998 Page 3 5. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. The minimum required width for two aisles of parking with an access drive in between them is sixty feet, which is what was shown on the original development plans. The variance requested will allow for the sixty feet to be installed according to the plans approved by the City Council. 6. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other properties in the same zone. Both circulation and safety between and within the two properties would improve while parking can be sufficiently expanded to meet the requirements as outlined by the City Code 7. The variance would 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 joint parking and access would improve congestion, improve public safety and improve parking on both sites. Recommendation: Approve Planning Commission Resolution 560-98, a resolution approving a variance for a zero- foot setback for a parking lot, on properties located at 2200 - 2214 Highway 10. • James Ericson, Planning Associate NADATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\DE VCASES\536-98\VARIANCE.RPT • , .--77'i.1.7.

The variance requested will allow for the sixty feet to be installed according to the plans approved by the City Council; and, • WHEREAS, the variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other properties in the same zone in that both circulation and safety between and within the two properties would improve while parking can be sufficiently expanded to meet the requirements as outlined by the City Code; and, WHEREAS, the variance would 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 joint parking and access would improve congestion, improve public safety and improve parking on both sites. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Planning Commission acting as the Board of Adjustment and Appeals approves the variance request of Daniel Hall and Charles Herbst, to allow a zero-foot setback for a joint use parking lot between the Mermaid, located at 2200 Highway 10, and Perkins, located at 2214 Highway 10. Adopted this 16th day of September, 1998 Jerry Peterson, Chairman ATTEST Rick Jopke, Community Development Director SEAL • REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Meeting Date: September 16, 1998 Staff Report by: James Ericson, Planning Associate Planning Case No.: 53 5-98 Applicant: Michael Tobias Request: The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for two curb-cuts at his residence at the northeast corner of Eastwood Road and Sherwood Road. Location: 8111 Eastwood Road PIN Nos. 06-30-23-14-0009 Zoning/Land Use: R-1, Single-Family Residential/ Single-family residence Applicable Regulations: • Section 1121.09, Subd 5e, which states that"Single-family uses shall be limited to one curb cut access per property unless, upon application for a variance of this restriction, the Board of Adjustments and Appeals finds that it is in the interest of public safety to waive such." Section 1125.02, Subd. 2 outlines the criteria to be used by the Planning Commission in its review of variances. Attachments: Planning Application Zoning Map Location Map Letter to Applicant, dated 7/28/98 Area Curb-cut Survey Resolution 558-98 Background: The applicant is requesting a variance from the Code requirement that states a single-family property shall be limited to only one curb cut. Earlier this year, the applicant took out a building permit to resurface his driveway, which had access onto both Sherwood Road and Eastwood Road. • At the time, staff indicated that a building permit could not be approved due to the non-conforming nature of the driveway, unless the access to Sherwood Road was removed. The applicant agreed and the permit was issued. Subsequent reinspection of the property showed that both access points remained, both having been improved contrary to the permit. The Building Inspector sent the l Tobias Driveway Variance Planning Case No. 535-98 • September 16, 1998 Page 2 applicant a letter in which two choices were indicated--either remove the driveway access to Sherwood Road or apply for and receive a variance. The applicant has chosen to apply for a variance in order to maintain the driveway in its present condition. Analysis: To understand the prevalence of the type of driveway configuration present at 8111 Eastwood Road, Staff surveyed corner properties north of Hillview between Groveland and Long Lake Road. There are 54 corner lots in this area, of which ten (18.5 percent) have multiple curb-cuts. (Refer to the attached corner parcel inventory.) In comparison, the percentage of all residential properties with more than one curb cut is less than one percent. The case can be made that corner properties present unique safety issues, with as many as four distinct paths of traffic to monitor while backing out of the driveway. Some corner lots, because of tree-cover, shrubs and other plantings, have limited visibility thereby increasing the safety risk. The City Code indicates in Section 1121.09 Subdivision 5e that for the Planning Commission to waive the requirement limiting a property to one curb cut, it can do so in the interest of public safety. Staff is unsure if that requirement supersedes the criteria for granting a variance, as found • in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Code. Because of this, all of the criteria will be examined, which are as follows: 1 Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property 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. The fact that this property is a corner lot, while not exceptional or unusual, does present some safety considerations over which the property has little control. 2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district. As indicated above, twenty percent of the corner lots within the general area of the subject property have multiple curb cuts. Requiring the applicant to remove one curb cut would deprive him of a use that many other corner lots enjoy. When compared against all residential properties, no deprivation would exist, as the number of all residential properties with multiple curb cuts is less than one percent. 3. Special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. • The applicant did not cause the non-conforming use, but has perpetuated its use and has improved upon the driveway in violation of the City Code. Planning Commission Resolution 560-98 • September 2, 1998 Page 3 4. Granting the variance requested would not confer on the applicant a special privilege that is denied by this Title to owners or other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. Depending upon how you categorize the property, it can be thought that a special privilege would be conferred on the applicant that is typically denied to other residential properties. Among corner lots, the variance would not be conferring a special privilege to the applicant. 5. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. Adding the second curb cut is the minimum variance possible to alleviate the hardship of living on a corner lot. 6. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other properties in the same zone. Assuming that corner lots are different from typical residential lots due to the increased risk to public safety--that of the residents of the property and other motorists passing by • the property--granting the variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of the Code as public safety would take precedence. 7. The variance would 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. Allowing for a variance to maintain the two curb cuts can only benefit the public safety. In addition, approval would not increase any congestion or impair an adequate supply of light or air to adjacent properties. Clearly, it can be shown that there is a legitimate public safety basis upon which to approve a variance to allow two curb cuts at 8111 Eastwood Road. Whether or not the criteria support approval of a variance in this situation is a matter of interpretation. Recommendation: Given the ambiguous nature of Section 1121.09, Subd, 5e, Staff is presenting the Planning Commissions with two versions of Planning Commission Resolution 558-98, one approving the variance request and the other denying the request. • James Ericson, Planning Associate N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\DEVCASES\535-98\TOBIAS.RPT _ .-mow '`/`mu'` COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT f�,,�, DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION • ��''"` 2401 Highway 10, Mounds Yew MN 55112 -_ � f'-r�►"'`"tee 612-717.4020 612-784-3462 -FAX Please Type or Print Information-Complete Both Sides of This Form _____ Applicant Information Name of Applicant M W 4 •1li .> .

During the permit review process you were informed that the City code restricts the number of curb cuts allowing street access to residential properties to only one access. You questioned and objected to this requirement based upon the fact that the driveway had existed for some time with access to both Eastwood Road and Sherwood Road. You were told that the driveway constituted a nonconforming condition and the status of the nonconforming condition could remain as long as the driveway be maintained in its existing state. However, because the existing asphalt was removed and the nonconforming condition was abated the ability to maintain the nonconforming status was no longer possible. The permit was issued under the condition.that the access to Sherwood Road would not be reinstalled. A subsequent inspection of the property has revealed that both previously existing accesses have been reinstalled. This situation creates a nonconforming condition that, because of the removal of the previous nonconforming condition, is a violation of Municipal Code. Your choices at this time, are 1) remove the portion of asphalt that connects the street to the property line that creates one of the accesses or 2)apply for and receive a variance that will allow you to continue the nonconforming condition. I am enclosing an application for you to use to • request a variance if you should choose to. The variance process is handled by Planning Associate Jim Ericson. He can be reached at 717-4022.

Planning Application 2. Location Map 3. Zoning Map 4. Site Plan 5. Letter from Building Inspector,dated 7/28/98 6. Corner Parcel Inventory WHEREAS, the existence of the driveway, for which this variance is requested, predates the enactment of Ordinance No. 288, which among other things, limits a single-family residential property to only one curb cut; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Adjustment and Appeals, may waive the requirement to limit a single-family residential property in the interest of public safety; and, WHEREAS, exceptional or extraordinary circumstances do apply to the property 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, in that the property is a corner lot and is thus subject to additional public safety concerns; and, • Planning Commission Resolution 558-98 September 2, 1998 Page 2 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 nearly twenty percent of the corner lots surrounding the subject property have two curb cuts; and, WHEREAS, special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant in that the driveway's existence predates the enactment of the Ordinance which p[rohibits two curb cuts; and, WHEREAS, granting the variance requested would not confer on the applicant a special privilege that is denied by this Title to owners or other lands, structures or buildings in the same district in that other corner lots within the City have two curb cuts; and, WHEREAS, the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship, in that adding the second curb cut is the minimum variance possible to alleviate the hardship of living on a corner lot; and, WHEREAS, the variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other properties in the same zone in that maintaining the public safety does not conflict with the City Code; and, • WHEREAS, the variance would 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 approving the variance for a second curb cut at this location would lessen the endangerment to public safety. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Planning Commission acting as the Board of Adjustment and Appeals approves the variance to allow two curb cuts at 8111 Eastwood Road as requested by Michael Tobias.

T PLANNING COMMISSION Page 4 • August 19, 1998 Peterson countered by saying he would be in favor of the project because it would allow the Bellamys to keep a cleaner yard and they would have a place to store their vehicles and yard equipment.
