nary plat and a corner lot variance to create eight single dwelling lots

- 5 - 3/23
d. Mayor Greavu called for opponents. The following expressed their
opinions: -
Mr. LeRoy Tuil, 2352 Barclay
e. Mayor Greavu closed the public hearing.
f. Councilmember Anderson introduced the following resolution and moved
its adoption:
87-3-48
WHEREAS, Ed Cave and Sons, Incorporated, applied for a corner lot
width variance for Lot Seven, Cave's Gervais Addition.
WHEREAS, Section 30-8 (f) (2) of the Maplewood Code of Ordinances
requires a minimum of 100 feet of width for single-dwelling corner lots;
WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing 87.17 feet, requiring a variance
of 12.83 feet.
WHEREAS, the procedural history of this variance is as follows:
1. This variance was applied for on March 6, 1987.
2. This variance was reviewed by the Maplewood Planning Commission
on March 16,1987. This Planning Commission recommended to the
City Council that said variance be approved.
3. The Maplewood City Council held a public hearing on March 23,
1987, to consider this variance. Notice thereof was published
and mailed pursuant to law. All persons present at said hearing
were given an opportunity to be heard and present written state-
ments. The Council also considered reports and recommendations
of the City Staff and Planning commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAPLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL that
the above-described variance be approved on t§e basis of the following
findings of fact:
1. Strict enforcement would cause undue hardship because of
circumstances unique to this property, because:
a. The variance would not alter the essential character
of the neighborhood. Existing corner lots in this vicinity
range from 84 feet to 90 feet of width.
b. Denial of the variance would be unreasonable because
Lot One would have an undesirable 33 feet of buildable
width, unless the developer voluntarily drops one lot.
c. A lot with only 33 feet of buildable width would re-
sult in a structure that is out-of-character with the area.
- 6 - 3/23
d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances
unique to his property that were created by the City when
the trunk sanitary sewer was sited without regard to the
location of future lot lines. .
2. The variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of
the ordinances because:
a. The proposed corner lot would be compatible with area
development.
b. The interior lots fronting on Gervais Avenue would be
more compatible with existing development than if the vari-
ance were to be denied.
c. Council has approved similar variances.
Seconded by Councilmember Juker. Ayes- all.
g. Councilmember Anderson moved to approve Cave's Gervais,Addition
preliminary plat, subject to the following conditions being met before
final plat approval:
a. City engineer approval of final grading, utility and drainage
plans. These plans shall include, but not be limited to, a drainage
Swale along the west property line of Lot One. This Swale is to
function as a positive overflow for the pond.
b. A signed developer's agreement and surety shall be submitted
to the City Engineer which shall include, but not be limited to:
(1) Repair of Hazelwood and Gervais Avenues following
utility construction within the right-of-ways.
(2) Removal of the dwelling and/or accessory structures
at 2411 Hazelwood Avenue, unless a survey is submitted
showing that the structures meet City setback require-
ments.
c. Submittal o£ recordable deeds to the Director of Community
Development to combine Outlots A and B with the properties abut-
ting to the west. The developer shall pay all costs of recording
these deeds. As an alternative, that plat may be expanded to in-
elude the area shown as Outlots A and B combined with a replat of
the two lots to the west.
