Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a public hearing was held at the regular meeting of the <br />rd <br />Variance Board of the City of Roseville, County of Ramsey, Minnesota, on the 3 day of June, <br />2015, at 5:30 p.m. <br />The following members were present: <br />and the following members absent: <br />Variance Board Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />WHEREAS, City Code §1005.02.F provides specific types of exterior building materials <br />to be used in new construction; and <br />WHEREAS, Pizza Lucé, property owners of 2851 Snelling Avenue, have requested <br /> to City Code §1005.02.F to allow their new location to include greater percentages <br />VARIANCES <br />of metal siding on all elevations of the building. <br />WHEREAS, the Pizza Lucé property is legally described as: <br />WHEREAS, City Code §1009.04 (Variances) establishes the purpose of a is <br />VARIANCE <br />“to permit adjustment to the zoning regulations where there are practical difficulties applying to <br />a parcel of land or building that prevent the property from being used to the extent intended by <br />the zoning;” and <br />WHEREAS, the Variance Board has made the following findings: <br />The code-compliant manner in which to meet the requirement of §1005.02.F <br />(Materials) has been determined to be slightly restrictive and over-burdensome. <br />Moreover, §1005.02.F (Materials) may need to be reviewed for modification to afford <br />a broader range of materials when such materials would make fine, reasonable, and <br />acceptable primary materials for commercial buildings in order to avoid stifling <br />architectural creativity. It is these restrictions that represent the practical difficulty of <br />the variance request and the proposal appears to compare favorably with all of the <br />above requirements essential for approving variances. <br />Page 1 of 4 <br /> <br />
