RESOLUTION CONSIDERING VERNON AND
NATALIE STUHR REZONING AND VARIANCE
REQUEST AT SOUTHWEST CORNER OF BASS
LAKE ROAD AND WISCONSIN AVENUES
(PLANNING CASE 73-56)
BE IT RESOLVED by City Council, sitting as the Board of Adjustments
and Appeals of the City of New Hope, Minnesota:
WHEREAS, Chapter 462 of the Minnesota Statutes authorizes the City
Council with the aid and assistance of the City Planning Commission to carry
on municipal planning activities which guide future development and improve-
ment of the community;
WHEREAS, Section 462.357 provides specific authorization as planning
relates to zoning and land use and authorizes the City to adopt ordinances
establishing uses within different zoning districts, and to provide variances
from the literal provisions of said statutes and local ordinances;
WHEREAS, the Village has enacted a zoning ordinance and established
permitted uses and special use permits for the individual districts and has
provided for a variance procedure and is attempting to plan and guide future
development of the community, which ordinances provide in part:
A. Retail Business Districts (RB) are defined in general as
areas which because of proximity to thoroughfare inter-
sections and proper distance from similar centers, are
suitable to those businesses catering to the shopping
needs of the residential neighborhood.
B. In RB districts, a three acre minimum size parcel is
required, a minimum size for a building is 20,000 square
feet, and the rear set back requirement is 35 feet. (4.22)
2. This Board has thoroughly reviewed the statements presented to
it at the public hearing, as continued, the City records, has reviewed the
staff comments and findings, the minutes and recommendation of the Planning
Commission of November 6, 1973 (for denial), and the minutes of its own
hearing on November 12, 1973. This Board also has in mind the unsworn
presentation made by proponents of the request for rezoning and variance,
and hereby makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
That the property in question is, on information and belief,
owned by petitioners, the same property owners who own
the adjacent parcel to the south, which is zoned for single
family use.
That the lot is presently zoned MR. This zoning was applied
for and approved about three years ago at the request of
petitioners or their agents. The lot now has a garage used by
the petitioners for storage - they live on the lot to the south and
an illegal sign advertising an apparent "home occupation".
That petitioners argue that financing cannot be obtained
and that apartments, the presently zoned use, are overbuilt,
that they made a mistake when they requested rezoning to
Multiple Residential (MR), and that the Planning Commission
and Council concurred in their "mistake" by approving the
rezoning. This Council finds that there was no mistake
made when the property was rezoned to MR, that the area
is generally developed for MR use, except the Single Family
Residence (SR) directly to the South, and the single parcel
of Limited Business (LB) directly to the east, and that MR
is an appropriate use for the parcel in question.
D. That a parcel of RB in the area proposed would constitute
spot zoning, and would be unconstitutional.
E. That the curve of County Road 10 (Bass Lake Road) in this
area is such that any use of the property which generates
-2-
a higher rate of traffic from and to the site should be dis-
couraged as being an unwarranted hazard to the public
health, safety and welfare.
That there has not been a sustantial change in land use in
relation to the premises, and that although current economic
and monetary considerations render the MR development
difficult, these are constantly changing considerations and
do not of themselves warrant use of the power to rezone.
That considering all of the information available as to the
proposal before this Board, it is the finding of this Board
that the proposed use has not been shown by petitioners to
fit as to location or use into an over-all plan for a Retail
Business; that enforcement of the literal provisions of the
zoning ordinance will not cause undue hardship as compared
to maintaining the integrity of the City Comprehensive Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the request for rezoning
from MR to RB is hereby denied, and this being the case, the question of
any action upon the request for variance is moot, and the City Clerk-Treasurer
is directed to serve a copy of these findings upon the petitioners and the
property owners by mail, pursuant to ordinance.

RESO UZION
RESTAUltAN~A~~ESTS
AT 7849 - 42ND AVENUE NORTH
(PLANNING CASE 73-72)
BE IT RESOLVED by City Council, sitting as the Board of Adjustments
and Appeals of the City of New Hope, Minnesota:
WHEREAS, Chapter 462 of the Minnesota Statutes authorized the City
Council with the aid and assistance of the City Planning Commission to carry
on municipal planning activities which guide future development and improve-
ment of the community;
WHEREAS, Section 462.357 provides specific authorization as planning
relates to zoning and land use and authorizes the City to adopt ordinances
establishing uses within different zoning districts, and to provide variances
from the literal provisions of said statutes and local ordinances;
WHEREAS, the Village has enacted a zoning ordinance and established
permitted uses and special use permits for the individual districts and has
provided for a variance procedure and is attempting to plan and guide future
development of the community.
This Board has thoroughly reviewed the statements presented to
it at the public hearing, as continued, the City records, has reviewed the
staff comments and findings, the minutes and recommendation of the Planning
Commission of December 4, 1973 (for denial), and the minutes of its own
hearing on December 10, 1973. This Board also has in mind the unsworn
presentation made by proponents of the request for a special use permit
and variances, and hereby makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
A. That the special use criteria includes consideration of two
points:
1)
Nuisance characteristics generated by the use will
not have an adverse effect upon existing and future
development in adjacent areas.
2)
The use will provide an economic return to the com-
munity commensurate with other industrial uses that
the property could feasibility be used for.
Be
That the proposed use by its nature involves a heavy use of
turning movements for traffic, and uses already approved,
such as the nearby shopping center, YMCA and bank, as
well as the general traffic on 42nd, and the proximity of
the site to Winnetka Avenue North, another arterial street
with heavy traffic, creates many traffic, safety and traffic-
related nuisance problems.
C. That in 'addition, the potential nuisance characteristics of
the proposed use are substantial as to compatability with
the adjoining, existing uses (Village Maintenance Department
and School Administration Center), including odor, litter,
lighting and security.
That the proposed uses require variances which are of
a nature and substance which are so substantial, and
which contribute so substantially to the nuisance characteristics
as to make the proposed use undesirable under the City
planning ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the request for a special
use permit be denied, together with the variance requests, and the City
-2-
Clerk-Treasurer is directed to serve a copy of these Findings upon the
petitioners by mail, pursuant to ordinance.

does not focus on redistricting alone, but rather on a variety
of areas affecting County government, and

and powers of the Hennepin County government should not be
answered until after careful study and deliberation by an ap-
propriate study group reviewing the total problem in a com-
prehensive approach, and

by the decisions made should be the body deciding the issues in-

Whereas, it is the duty of nations, as well as of men to
owe their dependence upon the overruling power of
God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble
sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance
will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the
sublime troth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and
proven by all history, that those nations are blessed
whose God is Lord; and
Whereas, we know that we have been the recipients
of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been pre-
served'these many years in peace and prosperity; we
have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other
nation has ever grown; but we have forgotten God; and
Whereas, we have forgotten the gracious hand which
preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched us:
and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of
our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by
some auperior wisdom and virtue of our own; and
Whereas, intoxicated with unbroken success, we have
become too self-sufficient to feel *.he necessi*.v of
redeeming and preserving grace, too proud ts pray to
the God that made us; and
Whereas, we have made such an idol out of our
pursuit of "national security" that we have forgotten
that only God can be the ultimate guardian of our true
livelihood and safety; and
Whereas, we have failed to respond, personally and
collectively, with sacrifice and uncompromised corn-

absorbed with the selfish pursuits of pleasure and profit
that we have blinded ourselves to God's standard of

RESOLUTION CONSIDERING PLATTING OF
HEWITT L. PETERSON PROPERTY AND
DENYING SAME (36TH AND HILLSBORO)
(PLANNING CASE 74-30)
BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of New Hope:
1. Petitioner has requested approval of a plat of property on the
southeast corner of 36th Avenue North and Hillsboro Avenue North, said
property being zoned for Single Family use (SR).
2. At some time in the past, petitioner illegally sold a portion of the
tract to Dr. L. M. Saliterman, said partition of the property being in violation
of local and state law which requires City approval, for planning purposes.
3. Approval for a division was previously given by this Council, sub-
ject to accurate survey. The survey furnished showed that the property
measurements presented to the Council were in error, and that the premise
for approval of the subdivision was erroneous, and final approval was with-
held.
4. The City Manager has recommended denial of the plat as proposed
on the grounds that the proposed division would place major restrictions on
design if the property is later to be platted for single family lots.
5. Petitioner's purchaser has appealed a prior decision of this Council
not to approve a rezoning of the northerly proposed lot to Limited Business,
and this case has yet to be tried.
6. To approve the proposed plat as presented, and under existing
conditions would be contrary to the intent of the platting ordinance, and
would result in "piecemeal platting.., without correlation to the overall
needs of the Village... and will bring a disastrous disconnected patchwork
of plats and poor circulation of traffic."
7. The development of the area is already hindered by the ownership
of a triangular parcel at the southeasterly corner of the parcel in question
by another party, and to permit the requested division and change in owner-
ship would simply magnify the problem of orderly development.
8. No development plan has been presented to justify the proposed
division.
9. Petitioner stated to the City Council on May 13, 1974 that "the
property is zoned single family residence and the petitioner is not asking for
a change in use". However, as referred to earlier, petitioner's purported
buyer is requesting a rezoning, and has taken his case to court -- making
petitioner's statement as to use a sham.
The proposed plat is not in the best interests of the City in its stated
approach to sound, comprehensive planning, the petitioner is in violation of
the statutory and ordinance prohibition as to division of property without City
approval, and to grant the petition for division would enormously complicate
the orderly development of the land, and the plat is hereby rejected.

The Metropolitan Council is further urged to take note
of the real and practical problem involved and act ac-
cordingly. The entire City of New Hope, with an
estimated population of 26,000 persons, served by
local sanitary sewer systems with separate storm
water facilities, needs additional interceptor capacity
to prevent a major potential health problem. This need
far outweighs the needs of extending ~nterceptor
capacity to remote areas to open up new areas for de-
velopment.
