RESOLUTION 04-54
A RESOLUTION APPROVING
A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCES
FOR AN AIR-SUPPORTED STRUCTURE AND ACCESSORY BUILDING
AT 949 MENDOTA HEIGHTS ROAD
WHEREAS, Mr. Robert Ostlund of Saint Thomas Academy has applied for a
Conditional Use Permit and Variances for an Air-Supported Structure and Accessory
Building at 949 Mendota Heights Road (PIN 27-03500-010-51 Plat Name: Section 35
Township 28 Range 23 NE 1/4 of SW i/4 Ex N 198 Feet of East 636 Feet) as proposed in
Planning Case #04-29; and
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this application
at their regular meeting on July 27, 2004; and
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission voted to recommend that the Council
approve the Conditional Use Permit and Variances for an Air-Supported Structure and
Accessory Building as presented to the Planning Commission on the evening of July 27,
2004 and as shown in Planning Case #04-29.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Mendota Heights that a Conditional Use Permit and Variances for an Air-
Supported Structure and Accessory Building for 949 Mendota Heights Road as proposed
in Planning Case #04-29 is hereby approved on the following conditions:
1. The Conditional Use Permit for the Air-Supported Structure is for a period of
three years, with the option of extension for an additional three years with
Council approval, for a maximum of six years.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota
Heights that the Variances to the Limitation on the Number and Total Square Footage of
Accessory Structures for 949 Mendota Heights Road as proposed in Planning Case #04-
29 are hereby approved based on the following considerations:
1. The Variances are necessary in order to put the property to reasonable use given that
reasonable institutional use of the large site requires accessory buildings that exceed
the regulations of the zoning ordinance, which are written with residential
development in mind.
2. There are unique circumstances pertaining to the applicant's property not caused by
the owner that create a sufficient hardship to justify the Variances including the
imposition of zoning ordinances intended to regulate residential uses, when the
institutional use is allowed and may be different.
3. The Variances will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood because the
institutional nature of the overall site use will not change.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Conditional Use Permit and Variances
for an Air-Supported Structure and Accessory Building for 949 Mendota Heights Road as
proposed in Planning Case #04-29 under the above condition would not have an adverse
impact on the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the community and the
surrounding land, and would not be adverse to the general purpose and intent of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights
This 3rd day of August, 2004.
