DATE: September 19, 1972 <br />CASE NIINIBER; VN-94 <br />APPLICANT: A 1 Anderson <br />LOCATION: tTest of Old Highway 8 at ita intersection with Highway 96 <br />REQUEST: Variance from the strict application of the provisions of the <br />New Brighton Code Sections 12-010 and 1045:05 <br />PLANNI2TG CONSIDERATIONS: <br />The proposed development of Mr. Andersons property as previously indicated <br />is to be a truck stop and cafe facility. Current plot plans for the <br />facility indicate parking spaces for approximately 25 large "semi trucks". <br />The strict application of the provisions of the New Brighton Zoning Code <br />Section 12-010, paragraph i and the New Brighton Code Section 1045:05 <br />restricting driveways to parking areas to 24 feet and maximum driveway <br />width to 35 feet at the curb line respectively, will in the opinion of the <br />Petitioner cause a public safety problem by forcing trucks leaving the <br />property to cross the center line of Old Highway 8 when entering that <br />facility. <br />The petitioner requests, therefore, that the drives be allowed at a fifty <br />(50) foot width between the existing service station and the proposed truck <br />stop and a thirty-five (35) foot width north of the proposed truck stop, <br />to allow for safe entry and exit of large vehicles to the premises. <br />e <br />The request appears to be reasonable and in the best interests of public <br />safety. <br />
