MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 760-04 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM THE MINIMUM FRONT BUILDING AND PARKING SETBACKS AND A VARIANCE FOR AN ADDITIONAL CURB CUT AND RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FOR AN ADDITION AT 2151 MUSTANG DRIVE; PLANNING CASE NO. DE2004-002, VR2004-004 WHEREAS, the applicant, Greg Kelley, has applied for a variance from the minimum front building and parking setbacks and a variance for an additional curb cut and development review for an addition at 2151 Mustang Drive; and, WHEREAS, Section 1104.01 of the Mounds View Zoning Code indicates that the minimum front setback for an industrial building is 40 feet and the minimum front parking lot setback is 40 feet; and, WHEREAS, Section 1121.09 of the Mounds View Zoning Code indicates that each property elevation is allowed one curb cut for each 125 feet of street frontage; and, WHEREAS, the applicant is requesting a variance for a thirty-eight foot front setback, a seven foot front parking setback and an additional curb cut; and, WHEREAS, the applicant is requesting a development review for a 4,070 square foot addition to the existing 5,445 square foot Bioclean building; and, WHEREAS, Section 1006.06 requires development review for additions that increase the building area by more than 10%; and, WHEREAS, The Planning Commission reviewed the following materials relating to these requests: 1. Application 2. Zoning Map 3. Location Map 4. Site Plan 5. Photographic Documentation 6. Staff Report . . . . WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing regarding the variances and development review on Wednesday, May 19, 2004; 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 makes the following finding of facts related to this request: 1. The exceptional or extraordinary conditions relating to the variance request are that the lot is irregularly shaped and therefore difficult to develop further. 2. The literal interpretation of the Zoning Code would create a hardship for the applicant. 3. The applicant has not caused the condition that prompted the variance requests. 4. Granting the variances would not confer upon the applicant a special privilege. 5. The variances requested are the minimum variances which would alleviate the hardship in that they are the minimum necessary to allow the proposed addition to match the existing addition and allow large trucks to travel through the property. 6. Granting a variance to allow for the utilization of the front setback would not be detrimental to the Zoning Code in that the current building exists thirty- eight feet from the front property line and the reduced parking setback and additional curb cut would not have a negative impact on the surrounding areas. 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. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission, based upon the above identified finding of facts, does hereby approve the variance requested for a thirty-eight foot front building setback, a seven foot front parking setback and an additional curb cut at 2151 Mustang Drive, subject to the following requirements: 1. The property shall have no more than three curb cuts. 2. The proposed addition shall be completed within one year of City Council approval or the variance shall be null and void. . ... . NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed addition at 2151 Mustang drive and does recommend approval of the development review to the Mounds View City Council. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission directs staff to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes. Adopted this 19th day of May, 2004.
