I I I Council Meeting Minutes October 25, 988 Council Busi ess continued Motion by Ben e, seconded by Williams, TO CONTINUE THE CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUT ON FOR A VARIANCE TO CONSTRUCT A DETACHED GARAGE 2' FROM SIDE AN REAR PROPERTY LINES (VN-269, AUGUST PARON) TO THE NOVEMBER 7TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING; AND REQUEST STAFF TO ASSIST IN LOCATION OF HE RIGHT-OF-WAY LINES AND THE SETBACK VARIANCE AND REPORT BACK 0 THE COUNCIL. 5 Ayes - 0 N yes, Motion carried. Mattila presented an application for a setback variance to allow the construction of a parking lot within the required setback area located at 7 0 West County Road D. The applican is requesting a variance to expand their existing parking lot t within five feet of the Highway 88 right-of-way line; and up to he Long lake Road right-of-way line. This would accommodate n additional 42 stalls on the site. Staff has re iewed the proposal and would recommend an identical variance alo g Highway 88 up to five feet of the Highway 88 right- of-way with he provision of a coniferous planting along the five foot area. T e elimination of six of the proposed stalls along Long lake Road wou d allow for a nine foot setback from the right-of-way. This nine fo t setback would still provide for 116 stalls (7 more than would b required by the City's Proposed Parking Ordinance). The Planning Commission had a public hearing on October 18, 1988; and came to 2-2 vote on this item; and, therefore, the Commission proposed no ecommendation. The Commissi ners who voted against the applicant, felt that this current vari nce can not be approved because the hardship was created by the applicant, in regards to the previous variance. The previous var ance involved the solarium on the East side of the building and the storage area on the West side of the building. The Commi ss i ners who voted in favor of the app 1 i cant, fe It the existing problem needs to be addressed; and the hardship was determined tbe in existence prior to the previous variances. The hardship was due to the configuration of the lot and the right-of- ways. Benke verifi d with Mattila that the applicant originally matched the existing arking ordinance; but with the new proposed ordinance, the applican will need to construct an additional 109 stalls.
