Page 2
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission
finds that the criteria as identified in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code are not satisfied and finds there to be a lllck of sufficient hardship with regard to
the property located at 2442 Laport Drive to warrant the approval of a variance to allow the
construction of a home ten feet from the side property line abutting unimproved Faber Street, and
makes the following findings offact related to its decision:
I. There is sufficient reason to believe that the unimproved right of way known as Faber
Street could be improved at some point in the future.
2. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances do not apply to 2442 Laport Drive.
3. The property owner alone created the situation whereby a variance would be needed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning
Commission denies the variance request for a reduced sideyard setback for the proposed home at
2442 Laport Drive,
Adopted this 2nd day February, 2000.
