Approved more parking that is required,the issue is if the Commission thinks it will be a problem to get to the southern stalls if there is congestion on the site. Baker replied that the proposed configuration does make the fourteen lots on the southern side of the building unusable. O'Brien asked how many staff vehicles are parked at the southern lot on a typical day. Brown replied that six employees park there at any given time. Zisla asked the applicant what happens to the parking in the southern lot when customers are backed out onto Innsbruck, does it fill up. Brown replied that most customers decide when they see how long the line is if they are going to park to come into the restaurant and most customers park in the northern lot, rarely do they park in the southern lot. O'Brien added that if a customer decides not to wait in line, they can pull out through the northern lot. Motion by Zisla, Second by O'Brien to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE ATTACHED RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF LP2004-004. 4 Ayes, 1 Nays, MOTION CARRIED. Public Hearing: LP2006-005, VN2006-002 Site Plan Review, Building Setback Variances, and Parking Setback Variances to Allow Redevelopment of the Existing Marv's Transmission Site The applicant is requesting a Site Plan review and a number of Variances, including building setback and parking setback, in order to redevelop the existing Marv's Transmission site located on the northeast corner of Old Highway 8 NW and 7th Street NW, just south of City Hall. The requested variances include a front yard building setback variance to permit a 13.5' setback where 30' is required, a side street yard building setback variance to permit a 14.5' setback where 30' is required, a rear yard parking setback variance to allow the surface parking area to be located 4' from the rear lot line where 25' is required, and a side street yard parking setback variance to allow the surface parking area to be located 11.5' from the side lot line where 30' is required. The site currently contains a 50' x 30' garage structure and associated surface parking lot. The former owner of Marv's Transmission retired and approached the City to inquire about purchasing the property. The City has since purchased the property and called for a Request For Proposals (RFP) to gage interest in redevelopment of the site. The only response to the RFP was by the applicant on the proposal now requested. The applicant is now working with the City to process a site plan approval, negotiate a development agreement, obtain environmental approvals, and establish a tax increment financing district. O'Keefe inquired if in the B4 zoning district if a pedestrian entrance is required off Old Hwy 8. Gundlach replied that she did not know if the B4 requires it. O'Keefe inquired if it was discussed among staff at all. Fernelius replied that it was not discussed and pedestrian entrances within the B4 zoning vary from project to project.
