An application for a variance was filed with the City of New Brighton on September 2, 1988. 2. The Planning. Commission, pursuant to published and mailed notices, held a public hearing on September 20, 1988, and all persons present at the hearing were given an opportunity to be heard. The property is zoned 1-2, Heavy Industrial. .., (... The required street sideyard setback for an off-street parking lot in an 1-2 district is 40 feet. 3. The proposed off-street parking lot adjacent to 2nd Street NW would be setback 16 feet from the 2nd Street NW right-of-way. 4. The applicant is requesting a 24, foot setback variance. 5. The subject off-street parking lot is designed to allow the parking of vehicles 40 feet from the 2nd Street NW right-oi-way if measured from the most southerly portion of the stall to the right-of-way. 6. The location of parked vehicles 40 feet from the 2nd Street right- . of-way and the provision of boulevard trees and a 3 foot high landscaped berm would cause the reduced setback to have a minimal impact on surrounding land uses and 2nd Street NW. 7. The combination of landscaping and berming along the 2nd Street NW boulevard and the parking of vehicles 40 feet from the 2nd Street NW right-of-way, meets the intent of the 40 foot setback requirement by serving to buffer the off-street parking area from the public right-of-way. 8. The apparent hardship and unique and unusual circumstance is created by the linear shape of the subject corner lot and the proposed use of 2nd Street NW as an industrial roadway for employee, client, and truck traffic generated by the uses within Brighton Corporate Park. II BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the app 1 i cati on for VN-267 is hereby recommended for approval conditioned on: II 1. Approval of LP-235 and SP-154. I Adopted this 20th day of September, 1988.
