CITY OF HOPKINS
PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 18,1986
REPORT NO. VN86 -9
PURPOSE: To review and recommend action on a request to exceed the building
coverage.
BACKGROUND:
Name of Applicant: James Marvy
Address of Property: 37 -41 12th Avenue North
Present Zoning: R -4
Nature of Request: Variance to Exceed maximum building coverage
Reason for Request: To construct an addition for storage
This variance request is in conjunction with the request for a Conditional
Use Permit to construct a 835 square foot addition at this site.
427.30 gives a maximum building coverage of 30% for an R -4 District. The
lot with the proposed building will have a building coverage of 43%. The
existing - building coverage is 36 %.
The applicant has contacted the surrounding neighbors.
ANALYSIS: The applicant has stated that adherence to the maximum building coverage
would adversely affect the design and usefulness of the proposed addition.
Since this addition will be used for storage, the sites' use will not be
intensified.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend approval of the variance with the following Findings of Fact:
1. A unique circumstance is present due to different elevations and
roof lines of the existing buildings.
2. The negative impact of the variance will be minimized due to the
use of the addition.
Conditions:
trno,
1. The addition is to be used only for storage.
2. That the variance granted shall be 13% greater than the standard
building coverage of 30 %.
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.
Conditions B.
Explain why strict enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance would cause undue
hardship:
The adherence to the maximum building coverage ordinance would adversely
affect the design and usefullness of our proposed addition.
What are the special conditions (shape of lot, exceptional topographic
conditions, etc.) of this request that are unique to this property and
do not apply generally to other properties in the district?
The two buildings being connected by the proposed addition have
different elevations, and roof lines. The present plan best connects
the buildings both aesthetically and structurally as determined by
the architect and designer.

Memorand u
City of Hopkins
TO: Zoning and Planning Commission
FROM: Nancy Anderson
SUBJECT: Variance for Marvy (VN86 -9)
DATE: July 18, 1986
The case number for the Variance request was omitted from
the agenda. The case number is VN86 -9. This case should probably
be heard before the Conditional Use Permit since if it is not granted,
the CUP would not be possible.
