MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 518-97
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO ALLOW FOR A SHED IN THE SIDE
YARD OF 7730 EDGEWOOD DRIVE WITHIN THE SIX-FOOT SETBACK FROM THE
RESIDENCE; PLANNING CASE NO. 493-97
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the request of
Annette Katzmarek, residing at 7730 Edgewood Drive; and,
WHEREAS, this property is zoned R-l, Single Family Residential District and is legally
described as:
Lot 2, Block 4, Greenfield Ponds,
Ramsey County, State of Minnesota
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the following documents associated
with this request:
1, Planning Application
2, Zoning Map
3. Site Plan
4. Letter from Applicant
WHEREAS, the applicant requests the variance to locate a shed in the side yard against
the applicant's house for safety and topographical considerations; and,
WHEREAS, special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicants in that the slope of the rear yard prohibits the location of an accessory building without
regrading or minor excavation; and,
WHEREAS, granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicants any special
privilege that is denied by this Title to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same
district in that the benefits of sheds and other accessory buildings are often desired by home
owners and the placement of such buildings in side and rear yards is a typical improvement in
single family districts; and,
WHEREAS, the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the
hardship in that approving the variance for less than the six feet would leave a difficult to maintain
narrow strip of yard between the house and shed and would push the shed into the side yard
setback; and,

WHEREAS, the variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title
or to other properties in the same zone ill that accessory buildings are allowed as a use in side
yards; and,
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 offire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values
within the neighborhood ill that the distance of the shed from the adjoining property line will be
maximized by locating the shed against the side of the house.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Planning Commission
acting as the Board of Adjustment and Appeals approves the variance request of Annette
Katzmarek, residing at 7730 Edgewood Drive, with the following conditions:
1.
A notation will be added to the building permit application for the shed that states,
"The applicant shall be responsible for ensuring that the shed meets all Fire Code
standards for accessory buildings located closer than six feet to another structure,
as deemed acceptable by the City's building inspector."
2. This variance shall become null and void if the work for which the variance was
granted is not completed within one year from the date of approval. An extension
may be requested in writing at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the
original variance.
Adopted this 6th day of August, 1997
