Attachment for Request for Variance St Francis Animal & Bird Hospital 6. Complete leeal description of property involved. The Southerly 125 feet lying North of and adjacent to West Larpenteur Avenue ofthe following described real property: The East 133 feet of that part of the Southwest ';4 ofthe Southwest ';4 of Section 15, Township 29, Range 23, lying Easterly of the tract heretofore conveyed to the county of Ramsey by deed recorded in Book "1279" of Deeds, on page 453, and Southerly of the South line of Crawford Street, as dedicated in the plat of Krannak:, as of record extended. Westerly to Easterly line of said tract conveyed to County of Ramsey 10. What plan or chanee makes this request necessary? The St Francis Animal & Bird Hospital needs to expand its floor area. The addition is necessary to accommodate growth in the client base of the veterinary hospital. 11. What is the expected effect of the proposed chanv:e? The proposed change should have no effect on health, safety, drainage, parking, or traffic conditions. It may improve the appearance of the area by replacing a slightly unsightly looking steel building with an addition to the main building. 18. B. State exactly what is intended to be done on or with the property which does not conform with the City Code. The existing steel building (northwest comer of lot) is proposed to be replaced by a permanent addition to the main building. This requires a variance from the side and rear yard setback requirements, The rear yard setback for the main veterinary hospital building is on the lot line. We propose that the rear yard setback for the proposed addition also be the rear property line. The side yard setback for the existing steel building is one foot from the side property line, We propose that the side yard setback for the proposed addition be the property line. To summarize, we would like zero side and rear yard setbacks for the addition. This is consistent with the rear yard setback for the main building, and is one foot closer to the side property line than the existing steel structure. 18. C. Explain the phvsical hardship that makes the variance necessary The St Francis Animal & Bird Hospital needs to expand its floor area. The only feasible physical location for such an addition is the northwest comer of the site. All other potential directions for expansion are already committed to required parking and are prohibited by internal building design. The proposal would involve removing an existing steel building and replacing it with concrete structure. The existing steel structure is already on a concrete slab, thus there will be no increase in lot coverage or runoff generated by the addition.
