WHEREAS, Marion L. Svendsen applied for a variance for the following-
described property:
West 10 feet of Lot 3, all of Lots 4, 5 and 6, Block 1, and the
North half of the vacated alley in Kredel's Addition to Gladstone.
This property is also known as 1764 East.County Road B, Maplewood;,
WHEREAS, Section 36-88 (e) of the Maplewood code of ordinances
requires that the density in a R-2 residence district shall not exceed
the maximum density permitted by the City's land use plan;
WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing an overall neighborhood density
of seventeen persons per net acre, requiring a variance of three persons
per net acre;
WHEREAS, the procedural history of this variance is as follows:
1. This variance was applied for on October 23, 1987.
2• This variance was reviewed by the Maplewood Planning Com-
e mission on February 29, 1988. The Planning Commission
recommended to the City Council that said variance be approved. '
3. The Maplewood City Council held a public hearing on March 14,
1988 to consider this variance. Notice, thereof was published
and mailed pursuant to law. All persons present at said.heaxirg
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 the basis of the following
findings of fact:
1. Strict enforcement would cause undue hardship because the
City has not completed a sewer study necessary for the Metro-
politan Council to approve the City's new density criteria.
2. The delay is not the fault of the property owner.
3. The variance would not alter the essential character of
the neighborhood. The resulting density would comply with
the new criteria. Single dwellings are proposed in a single
dwelling neighborhood. The adjacent lot to the east is not
planned for residential, Group Health is across the street
and the lots would front on County Road B - a high traffic
road.
