Zoning File #1059 <br />August 13, 1986 <br />Page 5 <br />If Planning Commission finds that property qualifies for <br />duplex credit, you may consider the following findings: <br />1. Property was assessed for 2 residential sewer and 2 <br />residential water units. <br />2. Second floor apartment area created prior to zoning and <br />building standards (allowed mixed residential and commercial <br />use) • <br />3. Property has immediate access to County Road. <br />4. External appearances of house suggest single family <br />residential use. <br />5. There is adequate room on site for off-street parking. <br />If Planning Commission finds the property does not qualify <br />for duplex credit, you may consider the following findings: <br />1. Property is not adjacent to commercial district but <br />adjacent to a commercially used property considered a legal <br />non-conforming use. The objective behind all zoning <br />standards for non-conforming uses is that the use fade away <br />and permitted and conforming uses within the specific zoning <br />district be established. <br />2. The property is severely substandard - property lacks <br />14,456 s.f. of required area, house encroaches right-of-way <br />of County Road. <br />3. Safety becomes even more of a concern with increased or <br />intensifed use of property. Accesses to and from property <br />increased. <br />4. Permits for guest apartment clearly advised applicant <br />that unit could never be used for rental purposes. <br />5. Such use would be in conflict with the intent and <br />purpose of the LR-lC Zoning District. <br />Other issues to be resolved concerning this property: <br />1. define an approved curb cut to property - seek Hennepin <br />County Highway Department approval - open access to site <br />must be discontinued - only one approved access to and from <br />site;
