RESOLUTION 05-066
• A RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FOR BUILDING SETBACK FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT LOCATED AT 2900 KENZIE TERRACE
WHEREAS, the St. Anthony Planning Commission held a public hearing on August 16,
2005, regarding a variance for building setback for the development located at
2900 Kenzie Terrace; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission had the following findings:
1. One rear yard setback (northwest corner of building) variance of 12 feet for
a proposed setback of 5 feet at the property line.
Undue hardship exists based on the following:
a. The property is currently somewhat blighted, poorly planned with
regard to layout and is an overall detriment to the area.
b. Undue hardship exists and is a result of an oddly shaped parcel that
is generally triangular in shape with a rounded side.
c. These circumstances were not caused by the applicant or property
owner.
d. The variance, if granted, would not alter the essential character of the
• locality, but would allow for a redevelopment of a blighted site with
new, more aesthetically pleasing buildings. The property cannot be
put to reasonable use without the requested variance because even
reconstructing the existing blighted buildings on their same footprints
would require setback variances.
e. Economic consideration alone is not the reason for the variance
request
f. Because of the overall shape of the parcel, the property cannot be
put to reasonable use without the need for variances.
g. Granting of the variance will keep within the spirit and intention of the
zoning code and further, it is with the City's Comprehensive Plan and
continues the City's economic redevelopment efforts in this area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of St. Anthony
hereby approves the variance for building setback for the development located
at 2900 Kenzie Terrace as recommended by the Planning Commission at their
August 16, 2005 meeting.
Adopted this 23rd day of Au ust, 2005.
