Lot 19 and the Weat 33.66 feet of Lot 20, Block 1, W. H. Fishers Addition
to Gladstone, Ramsey County, Minnesota, and the South Half of the adjacent
alley accruing thereto.
WHEREAS, Section 36-69 of the Maplewood Code of Ordinances requires
that all lots in an R-1, single-dwelling residence district, have at least
10,000 square feet of area and 75 feet of lot width;
WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing a earner lot which would have
9,860 square feet of area and 73.7 feet. of frontage, requiring variances
of 140 square feet from the lot-size requirements and 1.3 feet from the
lot-width requirements;
WHEREAS, the procedural history of this variance is as follows:
1. This variance was reviewed by the Maplewood Planning
Commission on June 5, 1989. The Planning commission

15 6-22-89
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
circumstances unique to the property under consideration
because:
a. The property cannot be put to a reasonable use
without the variances, because: (1) the current
width of 160 feet exceeds the width of most other
lots in the area, and (2) the area could-be met by
jogging the lot line into the interior lot.
b. The plight of the landowner is due to
circumstances unique to the property, not created
by the landowner, because the existing house which
was placed by a previous owner prevents moving the
lot line to the east.
c. The essential character of the area will not be
altered, since:
(1) All required setbacks could be met to
provide property site lines at the
intersection.
(2) The proposed lot would be similar in width
with four other substandard corner lots in
the neighborhood, two of which are on the
same corner as the applicant's lot,, and
two are similar in area.
Approval is subject to no driveway on to Ripley Avenue.
