� FOR VARIANCE APPLICATION ONLY
NOTE: The purpose of a variance is to provide relief to a property owner when
the strict enforecment of the Zoning Ordinance would cause an undue hard-
ship to the property owner or deny reasonable use of the property.
Hardship to the applicant is the crucial test. Variances will be granted
only in unusual situations which were not foreseen when the Zoning Ordin-
ance was adopted. Economic situations are seldom unique and are rarely
considered a valid hardship.
Hardship A. .
Explain why strict enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance would cause undue
hardship:

VARIANCE REQUEST
Lot 1, Block 92
West P�linneapolis Third Division
Planning Comnission November 15, 1985
Report No. VN-2
PURPOSE:
To recommend action on a variance request at 246 13th Avenue North.
BACKGROUND:
The following is a summary of the pertinent information relating to this application:
Name of Applicant: Anthony J. Inman-Koval
Address of Property: 246 13th Avenue North
Present Zoning: R-1-A
Variance requested: Vehicle entrance from 20 feet to 6 feet
Reason for request: To retain large tree
�-- The applicant is requesting a 14 foot variance for a vehicle entrance. Ordinance
427.08(4) requires that the vehicle entrance side shall be not less than 20 feet from
any such yard line. The applicants garage would have a 20 foot driveway however 14
feet would be in the public right-of-way. The old garage has been removed on the
site where the proposed garage is to be built. The existing curb cut is located on
3rd Street North approximately 5 feet from the alley. The proposed garage could be
built without the variance however a large tree would have to be removed.
The applicant is proposing a 440 square foot garage on the site, however the applicant
is allowed to put up to a 655 square foot garage on the subject property. The applicant
has contacted the surrounding neighbors.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant has requested a variance in order to build a garage without destroying
a large tree. The applicant does have a special condition in that a large tree is
situated in the setback area, however, it may be possible that the plans can be modi-
fied to allow the proposed garage to be moved approximately 8 feet closer to the tree
to allow a lesser variance and save the tree.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Deny the variance request. The applicant will have to remove the tree to build
the garage.
2) Grant the 14 foot variance and have the applicants driveway in the public right-
� of-way.
3) Grant the applicant a 4 foot variance saving the tree.
� Planning Commission
Report No. VN-2
Page 2
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend alternative three due to the special condition of a large tree existing
in the setback area.
