. . LP-94, N-C-42 Page #2 WARRANTS FOR GRANTING NON-CONFORMING USE PERMIT: Section 3-60 of the New Brighton Zoning Code states that before a non-conforming use permit can be granted one or more of the following conditions must be met by the application: 1. The total number of non-conformities is reduced; 2. The impact of any non-conformity upon adjacent ~remises is reduced to the greatest practical extent; and 3. The extent of any non-conformity is reduced where ,practical. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT TO ADDRESS THE NON- CONFORMITIES: 1. Installing two landscaped areas in the front yard. 2. Surrounding, the landscaped areas with concrete curbing. 3. Paving all areas of the front yard not used for landscaping. 4. Reducing the number of parking spaces in the front yard. 5. Moving the-outside storage of vehicles to meet setback requirements and storing these vehicles in an orderly manner. The applicant is proposing to construct a 6000 square foot service building in the rear yard of the site. The primary operation of this firm is the painting and refinishing of semi-truck cabs. The existing buildings excluding the office building along County Road D have overhead doors which are used in order to get the trucks that have been refinished out of the buildings. After the trucks are refinished they are taken to the rear of the site and stored until the applicant's clients pick them up. The applicant contends that because of the garage doors and the area needed to maneuver the trucks and trailers the entire front yard cannot be entirely landscaped as required. As indicated by the site and landscape plans the applicant is proposing to install 2 landscaped areas that are 25' x 40'. The only concrete curbing on the site encloses these landscaped areas. In addressing the non-conformity of front yard parking the applicant is restricting front yard parking to 6 spaces in front of the office building. The proposed landscaped areas are not only designed by the applicant to allow maneuvering space for the trucks but also to provide screening of the front yard parking.
