A GARAGE ADDITION AT 2341 KRESSIN AVENUE
WHEREAS, Mr. Jeffrey Kubat at 2341 Kressin Avenue has applied for an 18 -foot front
yard setback variance to Section 4.6(4)b of the Zoning Ordinance for a garage addition as
proposed in Planning Case #00-28; and
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission discussed this application at their regular
meeting on June 27, 2000,

Ordinance for a garage addition as proposed in Planning Case #00-28 is hereby denied.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in support of the above denial, the Council
establishes the following Findings of Fact:
1. The proposed 18' front yard setback variance is not necessary to alleviate an undue
hardship or practical difficulty as defined in the City's Zoning Ordinance No. 401.
2. The proposed garage addition would negatively impact the essential character of the
neighborhood by violating the established setback for all houses in the vicinity.
3. The proposed garage addition would set a negative precedent for other homeowners in
the vicinity to also violate the established setback for the neighborhood.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights
that this 18 -foot front yard setback variance to Section 4.6(4)b of the Zoning Ordinance for a
garage addition as proposed in Planning Case #00-28 would have an adverse impact on the
health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the community and the surrounding land, and
would be adverse to the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights
this 18th day of July, 2000.
