Motion by Councilmember Jacobsen, seconded by Councilmember Dunsworth to move approval of a Resolution authorizing a Special Use Permit for an oversized garage at 821 7th Avenue NW. City Manager Lotter indicated Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola would be presenting this item to the Council. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola stated Ron and Jackie Finney are seeking City approval to remove an existing legal nonconforming single car garage (420 square feet) from the property and replace it with a new 960 square feet three-car garage. Detached accessory structures in residential districts in excess of 624 square feet are allowed, but must be approved via special use permit. Both staff and the Planning Commission have reviewed the proposed improvement in relation to the applicable SUP criteria for this type of request, and we find no issues that cannot be addressed via conditions. Mayor Johnson reported the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this request. 5 Ayes, 0 Nays-Motion Carried 2. Consider a Resolution Memorializing the Midtown Village EAW Record of Decision. Motion by Councilmember Dunsworth, seconded by Councilmember Allen to move approval of a Resolution memorializing the Midtown Village EAW Record of Decision finding that an Environmental Impact Statement will not be necessary. City Manager Lotter indicated Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola would be presenting this item to the Council. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola explained by State Statute, an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was required to be prepared for the proposed Midtown Village Development. Necessary research was conducted, and an EAW was drafted and distributed in accordance with all statutory requirements. All issues identified by the EAW can be addressed as part of the development process, and nothing out of the ordinary was discovered that would require further review via an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Staff is therefore recommending approval of the provided Record of Decision. Staff reviewed the highlights from the report and recommended approval of the EAW. Mayor Johnson requested further information regarding how the old New Brighton Elementary site will be cleaned. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola reported the City would be hiring a contractor to assist with the demolition of this building and the cleaning of this site. Mayor Johnson explained the neighbors would like to be informed when this building was being removed in the case they wish to choose to stay elsewhere during the demolition. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola reported he could send out an update to the neighbors. 5 Ayes, 0 Nays-Motion Carried 3.
