ANTHONY VILLAGE <br /> Petition for Variance <br /> Applicant: David and Paulletta Sperry Phone: (651) 636-4269 <br /> Address: 121 - 20th Ave. S .W. New Brighton, MN 55112 <br /> Status of Applicant (Owner, Buyer, Lessee, etc.): Buyer <br /> Legal Description of property proposed for variance: Ex W 163. 07 ft ; S 15 f t of Lot 4 B l k <br /> Street Address: 4004 Fordham Dr iv Ex W 163.07 ft ; N 45ft of Lot <br /> Presently Zoned: R-1 <br /> Minnesota Statutes and City Ordinances require that the following conditions must be satisfied <br /> for approval of this request. Please respond to these conditions using additional sheets if <br /> necessary. <br /> t 1. Because. of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of <br /> the parcel or lot, the proposed variance would relieve an undue hardship as <br /> distinguished from a mere inconvenience, should the applicable ordinance be strictly <br /> enforced. <br /> The current Zoning Code does not permit a single family home to <br /> be built on this 60 foot lot unless a variance be granted, in <br /> which case the lot can be put to its best and greatest use . <br /> 2. The purpose of the proposed variance is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase <br /> the value or income potential of the parcel of land, but would correct extraordinary <br /> circumstances applicable to this property but not applicable to other property in the <br /> vicinity or zoning district. <br /> Granting the variance .would correct the . extraordinary circum- <br /> stance that the lot has no adjoining land that can be added to <br /> it to meet current Code requirements, meaning that without the <br /> variance the new owner is unable to use it for building a home. <br /> 3. The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by the City Ordinance and has not been <br /> created by any persons presently having an interest in the parcel of land. <br /> Prior to the passage of the current Zoning Code, many homes in <br /> St. Anthony Village were built..on lots less than 15 feet in <br /> width and 9000 in square feet, ` , d since p as ge of current Co( <br /> variances have been grante c . <br /> for lots in the vicini y 7 <br /> • smaller than currents tore of pplicant <br /> Code specifications. . . . C <br /> Note ., We are petitioning only for variances on lot- width and square feet . <br /> Code regulations regarding setbacks and the 35% proportion of lot <br /> allowed for our home and its driveway, walkways and decks will be honor <br />
