RESOLUTION NO. 97 - 0 62 CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF VN-314 WHEREAS, an application for a variance has been made by Robert Kallestad; and WHEREAS, the procedural history of the application is as follows: 1. An application for a variance was filed with the City of New Brighton on June 27, 1997. 2. The Planning Commission, pursuant to published and mailed notices, held a public hearing on July 15 and August I 9, 1997, and all persons present at the hearing were given an opportunity to be heard. 3. The City Council considered aU information pertaining to VN-314 at its August 26, 1997 meeting. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council makes the following Findings of Fact in respect to VN-314: 1. The property is zoned I-I, Light Industrial. 2. The required front yard setback for parking in the 1-1 district is 40 feet and the required width for driving aisles is 18 feet. 3. The applicant proposed to construct four parallel parking stalls 23 feet from the front property line with a l5 foot driving aisle behind such stalls. Therefore, a l7 foot front yard variance and a 3 foot driving aisle variance would have been required. 4. By reducing the number of parallel parking stalls to 3 stalls located north of the existing ground sign located on the landscape berm and increasing the variance to 20 feet, it would be possible to have a full width driving aisle of 18 feet behind the parking stalls. Such an adjustment would increase the safety of traffic circulation in the parking lot without substantially increasing the impact of the proposed variance. 5. A variance may be granted from the literal provisions of the Zoning Ordinance in CLL12914Q NE136-134
