WHEREAS, a public hearing was held Wednesday, July 18,2001, with regard to this
variance request; and,
WHEREAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View Municipal
Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of which all must be
satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission
hereby makes the following findings of fact related to this request:
I. The property is an irregularly shaped corner lot, which has two front yards as defined in
the Municipal Code, creating unavoidable and practical difficulties_
2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of the Zoning Code would deprive the applicant
of rights commonly enjoyed by other property owners in the B-2, Limited Business Zoning
District in that property improvements are encouraged and that variances to the
requirements are often justified when practical difficulties present a hardship as they do in
this situation.
3 _ The applicant is not responsible for the conditions or circumstances that necessitate the
approval of the variance.
4. The Planning Commission has in the past granted variances from setback requirements
when hardship or practical difficulties prohibit compliance with the City Code,
5, Granting the variance would not confer upon the property owner a special privilege denied
to others in the same district due to the unique nature of the existing conditions present on
the site.
6. The requested variance is the minimum amount that would alleviate the applicant's
hardship.
7. The requested variance would not impair a supply of light or significantly increase
congestion, nor would it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or
diminish property values_
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning
Commission, based upon its review of the documentation, testimony presented at the public
hearing, and the identified findings of fact, does hereby approve the variance request for a twelve
foot (12') parking lot setback along County Highway 10 and a five-foot (5') parking lot setback
along Eastwood Road, at 2625 County Highway 10, as depicted in the attached Exhibit A,
contingent upon the following:
