That the Applicants are proposing to repair some storm damage to the non-conforming <br />garage, and in the process are preparing to enlarge the garage by approximately 480 square <br />feet. <br /> <br />9. That enlarging the garage in its current non-conforming location will require prior acquisition <br /> of a variance. <br /> <br />10. That there are special conditions applying to the Subject Property that do not generally apply <br /> to other properties in the district; namely a significant portion of the Subject Property <br /> contains ponds and wetlands, and that the dwelling is oriented towards the south property line <br /> versus the frontage on Gibbon Street. <br /> <br />11. That there is some buildable land south and west of the house, but because of the house's <br /> orientation towards the south, the south yard is front yard and the west yard is on the <br /> bedroom side of the home; these yards contain the septic tank, drainfield and well; and <br /> neither of these yards make logical locations for a garage. The remainder of the Subject <br /> Property that would be considered behind the home is wetland. <br /> <br />12. That the special conditions do not result from the actions of the Applicant; the Subject <br /> Property was developed with the home and non-conforming garage when purchased by the <br /> Applicants. <br /> <br />13. That similar variances have been granted in the R-1 Rural Residential District in the City of <br /> Ramsey. <br /> <br />14. That the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. <br /> <br />15. That literal interpretation of the provisions, of City Code will deprive the Applicant of rights <br /> commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district. <br /> <br />16. That if granted, the variance will not permit a use that is prohibited in the R-1 Rural <br /> Residential District. <br /> <br />17. That if granted, the variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent <br /> l~roperty. <br /> <br />18. That if granted, the variance will not unreasonably increase the congestion in the public <br /> street. <br /> <br />19. That if granted, the variance will not increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety. <br /> <br />20. That if granted, the variance will not unreasonably diminish property values in the <br /> neighborhood. <br /> <br />21. That if granted, the variance will not violate the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br /> RESOLUTION #98-10-241 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
