1. There does not appear to be any exceptional or extraordinary circumstances which would
apply to 8018 Sunnyside Road.
2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of the Zoning Code would not deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the
terms of this Title in that the gazebo could be located elsewhere in the back yard..
3. Granting a variance for the reduced setback for the gazebo would be materially detrimental
to the purpose of this Title.
4. The Trapps are responsible for the conditions which necessitate the approval of a variance.
5. The reduced setback could increase the danger offire or endanger the public safety.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning
Commission denies the variance request for a one-foot setback for a gazebo at 8018 Sunnyside
Road due to a lack of justifiable hardship.
Adopted this 6th day of September, 2000.
