BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights
that this Front Yard Setback Variance for a Front Entryway for 1309 Furlong Avenue as proposed
in Planning Case #04 -19 is hereby approved based on the following considerations:
1. The variance is necessary in order to put the property to reasonable use given the position of
the current structure on the lot.
2. There are unique circumstances pertaining to the applicant's property not caused by the
owner that create a sufficient hardship to justify the variance given the position of the current
structure on the lot.
3. The variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood because the view of the
house from the front will not be changed significantly.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Front Yard Setback Variance for a Front
Entryway for 1309 Furlong Avenue as proposed in Planning Case #04-19 would not have an
adverse impact on the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the community andthe
surrounding land, and would not be adverse to the general purpose and intent of the Zoning
Ordinance.
