.... REsOLUTION No. 9 5 - 0 5 3 Sr ATE OF MINNESOTA COUNTY OF RAMSEY CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT AND APPROVING VARIANCE, VN-30 1. WHEREAS, an application for a variance has been made by Salem Baptist Church. WHEREAS, the procedural history of the application is as follows: 1. An application for a variance was filed with the City of New Brighton on June 2, 1995. 2. The Planning Commission, pursuant to published and mailed notices, held a public hearing on June 20, 1995, and all persons present at the hearing were given an opportunity to be heard. 3. The City Council considered VN-301 on June 27, 1995. Now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council makes the following Findings of Fact in respect to VN-301: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. The subject site is zoned R-I, Single Family Residential. The applicant is proposing to construct a 560 sq. ft. addition onto a church youth house. Churches and similar uses are a special use in the R-l district. Special use structures are required to be set back 30 feet from all R-l district property Jines. The proposed addition would be setback 5 feet from the east property line. The church youth house borders a single family home to the east. The intent of the 30 foot setback requirement is to minimize the impact of the special use on adjacent permitted uses. The existing church youth house was approved in 1982 without a setback variance and is located 5 feet from the east property line. No complaints have been received by the applicant or the City regarding the use of the youth house. The proposed addition would have no windows or doors along the east property line. The applicant intends to purchase the single family home acljacent to the east and rent it out as a single family residence. A variance may be granted from the literal provisions of the ordinance when it is demonstrated that the proposal would be consistent with the intent of the ordinance. The undue hardship in this case is not related to the physical characteristics of the lot, but is based on the finding that the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if the variance were denied, and the variance if granted, would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood and would not be detrimental to acljacent property or the public as a whole. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the application VN-30 1 is hereby approved subject to the following conditions: 1. Approval and continuing compliance with LP-303 and SP-I87. A.
