The general intent of the Zoning Code regarding limited fence heights in front yards is to not close off the front of the property from the visual openness of the street, but yet still allow a fence for safety and some sense of privacy for the property owners. This becomes difficult on corner lots, particularly lots on busy streets, where the property owners really want the privacy due to the high traffic along one of their front yards. 2. The variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in that the applicant is improving the property. 3. The applicant is requesting this variance because the front yard height limitations would preclude having a fence tall enough to provide security, screening and buffering from busy County Road I. 4. The unique feature of this property is that it is a corner lot with two front yards, and there is a sidewalk along County Road I that is adjacent to the applicanYs property. 5. The 8-foot tall fence in the front yard shouid not change the existing neighborhood character or cause visibility problems for traffic. 6.

Section 1121.09 Subdivision 5e of the Zoning Code states that single-family lots shall be limited to one curb cut per property unless it is in the interest of public safety to waive such. There are no public safety issues with this property that would cause the owner to need two curb cuts. 2. The Comprehensive Plan supports good traffic management for safer vehicle movements on streets. Limiting the number of access points onto a street is one of the ways that the City accomplishes this. 3. Second curb cuts for single-family homes are rare and not desired by the City for traffic safety reasons. 4. There are no unique circumstances for this property. The applicant built the second garage and now wants a second curb cut for easier access to it. 5. There are no other single-family properties in the neighborhood with two curb cuts, and granting the variance would be materially detrimental to the purpose of the Zoning Code or to other property in the R-1, Singie-Family Residential zoning district. 6. Adding the second curb cut is the minimum variance possible to alleviate what the applicant has stated is his difficulty. 7. There are no conditions recommended.

Zoning Map 2. Aerial Photo 3. Photographic Documentation 4. Staff Report WHEREAS, the purpose of the variance provision in the Zoning Code is to give relief to property owners when the strict enforcement of the zoning code requirements imposes a hardship thereby restricting the improvement of property due to practical difficulties brought about by unique or extraordinary features of the physical property that are beyond the property owner's control; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on Wednesday, June 4, 2014, about this variance request; and, Resc�lution '100�3-1�i (-'age 2 WHEREAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View Municipai Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria that 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 related to this request: 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 satisfied and finds there to be sufficient practical difficulty with regard to the property located at 2296 Terrace Drive, and makes the following findings of fact related to its decision: 1. The general intent of the Zoning Code regarding limited fence heights in front yards is to not close off the front of the property from the visual openness of the street, but yet still allow a fence for safety and some sense of privacy for the property owners. This becomes difficult on corner lots, particularly lots on busy streets, where the property owners really want the privacy due to the high traffic along one of their front yards. 2. The variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in that the applicant is improving the property. 3. The applicant is requesting this variance because the front yard height limitations would preclude having a fence tall enough to provide pool security, screening and buffering from Jackson Drive. 4. The unique feature of this property is that it is a small corner lot with two front yards, on a busy road. 5. A 6-foot tall fence in the front yard has existed since 1992 so there will not be any change to the existing neighborhood character or visibility problems for traffic. 6. The 2-foot variance is the minimum variance required to alleviate the applicanYs practical difficulty since the Zoning Code limits front yard fence heights to four feet. 7. The Planning Commission may impose conditions upon the premises as may be necessary to comply with city standards and to minimize the effect of such variance upon other properties in the neighborhood. F�esol��tivn 1008-14 Pac/e 2 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission, based upon the above findings, does hereby approve the variance request for a six-foot tall fence in the south front yard of 2296 Terrace Drive.
