An application for a variance was filed with the City of New Brighton on <br />November 20, 1992. <br />2. The Planning Commission, pursuant to published and mailed notices, held a <br />public hearing on December 1 and December 8, 1992, and all persons <br />present at the hearing were given an opportunity to be heard. <br />3. The City Council considered VN-289 at its meeting on December 8, 1992. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council makes the following <br />Findings of Fact in respect to VN-289: <br /> <br />1.

The south face of the unit load facility would be landscaped with a 6 foot <br />berm and coniferous and deciduous trees. <br />8. The intent of the 40 foot height limitation in the 1-1, Light Industrial district <br />is to minimize the impact of the proposed use on surrounding land uses. <br />9. The unit load facility would be separated from industrial land uses to the <br />north by Jones Lake and a 150 foot setback from the Jones Lake normal <br />high water mark. 1-35W to the east would be separated by a stand of <br />mature trees, high power line towers, a county drainage ditch, and the <br />exterior storage area screening. The two and a half story apartments to the <br />west would be separated by a two story wellhouse and a 165 foot high City <br />water tower.
