10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. That there are unique circumstances applying to the subject property that do not generally apply to other properties in the district; namely, that Anoka County constructed improvements to C.S.A.H. #56 that included acquisition of additional right-of-way and realignment of the roadway which diminished the front yard of the subject property. That the special conditions causing the undue hardship do not result from the actions of the Applicant. That similar variances have been granted by the City in the Residential District. That the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. That such variance is necessary for the preservation of a substantial property right similar to that possessed by other properties in the R-1 Rural Residential District. That if granted, the variance will not grant the Applicant any special privilege that is denied to other owners of lands, structures or buildings in the same district. That if granted, the variance will not be materially detrimental to the purposes of the Ramsey Zoning Chapter or other property in the R- 1 Rural Residential District. That if granted, the variance will not substantially increase the congestion of public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or substantially impair property values within the neighborhood. That the applied for use is not an expansion of the need for public services on the property. That there is an ordinance on the table that would alleviate the need for a variance in this particular case; this ordinance has been tabled by the Planning Commission pending additional information from the Anoka County Transportation Department. That the Subject Property has been recently surveyed by Anoka County as it relates to upgrading Ramsey Boulevard (C.S.A.H. #56); hence the right-of-way is well-defined and an additional Certificate of Survey is not necessary. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Board Member Terry and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Chairperson Ben Deemer Board Member Charles LaDue Board Member Michael Terry Board Member Paul Holland Board Member Bradley Thorud and the following voted against the same: None and the following abstained: Board Member Terry Hendriksen and the following were absent: Board Member David Bawden
