A resolution of the City Council for the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota, approving Variances for the
property located at 685 49th Ave. NE.
Whereas, a proposal (Case # 2018 -0901) has been submitted by Ivan and Randeelyn Clauson to the City
Council requesting variances from the City of Columbia Heights Zoning Code at the following location:
ADDRESS: 685 49th Ave. NE. (PID 26- 30 -24 -13 -0004)
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: On file at City Hall.
THE APPLICANT SEEKS THE FOLLOWING RELIEF:
1) Waiver to Section 9.109 (C)- allowing an attached accessory structure to be located 20.5' feet from the front
(east) property line.
2) Waiver to Section 9.109 (C)- allowing an attached accessory structure to be located 4.4' feet from the side
(north) property line.
Whereas, the Planning Commission has held a public hearing as required by the City Zoning Code on
September 5, 2018;
Whereas, the City Council has considered the advice and recommendations of the Planning Commission
regarding the effect of the proposed variances upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community and its
Comprehensive Plan, as well as any concern related to traffic, property values, light, air, danger of fire, and
risk to public safety, in the surrounding area;
Now, therefore, in accordance with the foregoing, and all ordinances and regulations of the City of Columbia
Heights, the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
(a) Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other
conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this article would cause
practical difficulties in conforming to the zoning ordinance. The applicant, however, is proposing to use the
property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning ordinance.
(b) The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are
generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification.
(c) The practical difficulties are caused by the provisions of this article and have not been created by any
person currently having a legal interest in the property.
(d) The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive
Plan.
(e) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially
injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity.
