~; I :f RESOLUTION NO. 92-084 STATE OF MINNESOTA COUNTY OF RAMSEY CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT AND APPROVING VN-287. WHEREAS, an application for a variance has been made by Wayne Thorson; and 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 July 31, 1992. 2. The Planning Commission, pursuant to published and mailed notices, held a public hearing on August 18, 1992, and all persons present at the hearing were given an opportunity to be heard. 3. The City Council considered VN-287 at its August 25, 1992, meeting. ii :! NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council makes the following Findings of Fact in respect to VN-267: 1. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. 2. The required frontyard setback in an R-1 district is 30 feet. 3. The required sideyard setback in the R-1 district is 5 feet. 4. The applicant is requesting an 8 foot frontyard setback variance and a 2 foot sideyard setback variance to construct a garage 22 feet from the Oakwood Drive right-of-way and 3 feet from the south sideyard property line. 5. The subject lot slopes to the east and the existing house is centered on the 75 foot wide lot thus making it difficult and impractical to place the proposed garage on the subject lot and still comply with the required setbacks. 6. The adjacent property owner to the south at 1760 - 7th Street NW was granted special permission to construct a garage with a 15 foot street sideyard setback from Oakwood Drive. 7. The proposed 22 foot frontyard setback for the subject garage would allow for a gradual increase in building setbacks along Oakwood Drive from the 15 foot street sideyard setback adjacent on the south to the 30 foot frontyard setback adjacent on the north. 8. The proposed garage would be setback 3 feet from the south side property line, however, the garage would be located 23 feet from the neighbor's house to the south. 9. The applicant currently has no garage and the proposed garage would eliminate all existing outside storage on the subject lot. 10. The proposed garage addition would not have a negative impact on surrounding properties and would be in keeping with the character and aesthetics of the neighborhood. 11. The applicant has demonstrated unique and unusual circumstances and an undue hardship pertaining to the variance request. ., I BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the application VN-287 is hereby approved. Adopted this 25th day of August, 1992. R~ ~ 0'1, C1JJ'-'l David M. Childs, City Manager Margaret E n, Finance Dire tor/City Clerk (SEAL)
