Councilmember Koppen introduced the following Resolution and moved its adoption:
98-04-29
RESOLUTION ZONING VARIANCE - 3016 FRANK STREET
WHEREAS, Mr. Jim Haase requested a variance from the zoning ordinance.
WHEREAS, this variance applies to property at 3016 Frank Street. The legal description is:
Lot 2, Block 1, Kohlman Overlook Park Addition
WHEREAS, Section 36-68 of the zoning code limits houses to thirty feet or two and one-half stories in
height.
WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing a house that would be three stories high and about 33 feet in
height.
WHEREAS, this requires a variance of one story and three feet in height.
WHEREAS, the history of this variance is as follows:
1. On April 6, 1998, the Planning Commission recommended that the Council approve this variance.
2. The City Council held a public hearing on April 27, 1998. City staff published a notice in the
Maplewood Review and sent notices to the surrounding property owners as required by law. The
Council gave everyone at the hearing an opportunity to speak and present written statements. The
Council also considered reports and recommendations from the city staff and Planning Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council approve the above-described variance for
the following reasons:
1. The variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. The peak of the
proposed house would be lower in height than some houses that are two and one-half stories tall. The
proposed variance would not be excessive nor would it alter the character of the area and it would still
help protect the surrounding residential properties, which is the intent of the ordinance.
2. The applicant has shown that strict enforcement would cause undue hardship because of
circumstances unique to the property not created by the applicant. Undue hardship means the owner
cannot put the property to a reasonable use if the City denies the variance.
Approval is subject to the applicant or owner following the site plan and building elevations dated March 5,
1998, subject to any changes required by city staff.
