II ! I; " ii i: " RESOLUTION No. 96-041A STATE OF MINNESOTA COUNTY OF RAMSEY CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON RESOLUTION MAKINO FINDINGS OF FACT AND APPROVING VN-305. ~ : WHEREAS, an application for a variance has been made by Innsbruck Partnership, Inc. WHEREAS, the procedural history ofthe application is as follows: 1. An application for a variance was filed with the City of New Brighton on May 31, 1996. 2. The Planning Commission, pursuant to published and mailed notices, held a public hearing on June 18, 1996, and all persons present at the hearing were given an opportunity to be heard. 3. The City Council considered VN-305 at its meeting on June 25, 1996. " I. ~ ;1 NOw, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Planning Commission makes the following Findings of Fact in respect to VN-305: l. 2. 3. 4. 'i " 5. The subject property is zoned R-3B, Multiple Family Residential. The required street side yard setback in the R-3B district is 30 feet. The proposed driveway (Phase One parking area) would be located 21 feet from the Black Oak Drive right-of-way line. A nine-foot street side yard setback would need to be approved to construct the driveway (Phase One parking area) as proposed. The unique circumstance in this case is the severe slopes located on the subject site. Due to the severe slopes on the north and south sides of the nursing home site, the west portion of the site is the only side which lends itself to an entry way to the lower level of the building. The west side ofthe site has a limited buildable area. The required 30 foot street side yard setback further restricts that buildable area. Strict enforcement ofthe 30 foot setback requirement, in this case, would cause the applicant an undue hardship. 6. The applicant has demonstrated unique and unusual circumstances and an undue hardship pertaining to the variance request. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the application VN-30S is hereby approved, subject to the following condition: i.; l. Approval of and continuing compliance with LP-312 and VN-305. ~~ ~- 0~ ;", .
