WHEREAS, Section 36-28(c)(6)(a) of the Maplewood Code of Ordinances requires the
proposed gymnasium addition to have a 30-foot setback from the Edgerton Street right-
of-way.
WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing a 25-foot setback.
WHEREAS, this requires a variance of 5 feet.
WHEREAS, the history of this variance is as follows:
1. On November 21, 1994, the Planning Commission recommended that the City
- Council approve this variance.
2. On December 12, 1994, the City Council held a public hearing. The City
staff published a notice in the Maplewood Review and sent notices to the
surrounding property owners. 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. It would meet the spirit and intent of the ordinance for the following
reasons:
a) The closer setback would not effect the houses across the
street. The nearest house would be 150 feet from the proposed
gymnasium. The typical minimum separation is 120 feet (a 30-foot
setback on each side of the street and a 60-foot-wide right-of-
way).
b) The closer setback would not effect the adjacent properties on
the west side of Edgerton Street.
2. Strict enforcement of the Code would cause undue hardship. The School
District cannot move the gymnasium further back and still meet the size
needed by the City.
3. This variance is less than the previously approved 36.5-foot setback
variance.
