8. Councilmember Bastian moved to approve the lot division as requested and
introduced the followin¢ resolution and moved its adoption•
87-12-231
WHEREAS, Theodore Johnson applied for a variance for the following-
. described property:
The west 125 feet of the south half of Lot 7, E. G. Rodger's Garden
Lots;
This property is also known as 2430 Hazelwood Avenue, Maplewood;
WHEREAS, section 30-8 (f) (2) of the Maplewood Code of Ordinances
requires at least 100 feet of width for corner lots;
WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing 88.57 feet, requiring a variance
of 11.43 feet.
WHEREAS, Sections 30-8 (f) (1) and 36-69 require at least 10,000
square feet of area for single-dwelling lots.
- 8 - 12/28
WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing 9,375 square feet, requiring
a variance of 625 square feet.
WHEREAS, the procedural history of this variance is as follows:
1. This variance was reviewed by the Maplewood Planning Commission
on December 7, 1987. The Planning commission recommended to the
City Council that said variance be approved.
2. The Maplewood City Council held a public hearing on December 28,
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 statements.
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 the basis of the following findings
of fact:
1. Strict enforcement would cause undue hardship because of circum-
stances unique to this property because:
a. Requiring this property to remain as one home site would.
not be a reasonable use of the land given that the majority of
developed corner properties in the area are slightly narrower
than the proposed corner lot, and the smaller area of the in-
terior lot will not be detectable.
b. Approval to split this property into two home sites would
not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. In fact,
it could enhance it by facilitating the development of the unim-
proved north portion of the site.
c. Subdivision of the adjoining and nearby properties created
the circumstances of this request, not the present land owner.
d. Council approved a corner-lot width variance one block to
the south which resulted in a corner lot two feet narrower than
the proposed lot width.
2. The variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the
ordinance because:
a. The proposed lots would provide buildable areas compatible
with all of the other lots in this area.
b. The proposal would not cause the general area to exceed
planned density requirements.
Seconded by Councilmember Anderson. Ayes - all.
