WHEREAS, an application for a variance has been made by Gurvaise Wilhelm; 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 February 28, 1997. 2. The Planning Commission, pursuant to published and mailed notices, held a public hearing on March 18, 1997, and all persons present at the hearing were given an opportunity to be heard. 3. The City Council considered VN- 310 at the March 25, 1997, City Council meeting. if !i Now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council makes the following Findings of Fact in respect to VN-310: 1. 2. i ~ 3. 4. 5. 6. The property is zoned R-l, Single Family Residential. The required lot width in an R-l district is 75 feet. The required lot area in an R-l district is 10,000 square feet. The proposed minor subdivision would create two 69 foot wide lots, each having 19,289 square feet and 20,862 square feet, respectively. The surrounding neighborhood contains several 50, 60, and 70 foot wide lots developed with single family homes. A variance may be granted from the literal provisions of the Zoning Ordinance in instances where strict enforcement would cause an undue hardship because of unique circumstances and when it is demonstrated that such a variance would be consistent with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. The unique circumstance in this case is that several 50, 60, and 70 foot wide lots already exist in this neighborhood and are developed with single family homes. Therefore, strict enforcement of the City's minimum lot width standards would cause the applicant an undue hardship and would not allow the applicant to put the subject property to a reasonable use. 7. The requested variances would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. , BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the application VN-31 0 is hereby approved subject to the following conditions: I. Approval of PL-232. 2. Removal of the existing garage and storage shed on Parcel B prior to the issuance of a building permit for any new construction on Parcel B. i ~-....AdojJted this, 25th day of March, 1997. ......~ ~ .' ~ ~ . , , ~ " " ) f: - , ~ _'-'.i , I: ---!. ~".~ ,I " ;1 11 Ma~~M.~ager ,I Ii II ,City Clerk 1:\SHAREDlCOUNCILIRESOLUTII 1997\VN-31 O,WPD I I l_
