III I I Council Meeting Minutes August 25, 1987 6. CONSIDERATION OF MPCA CONTRACT. 7. CONSIDERATION OF PETITION FROM RESIDENTS ALONG THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF LONG LAKE ROAD FROM 13TH STREET N.W. TO PIKE LAKE CIRCLE REGARDING THE UPGRADING AND WIDENING OF THE LONG LAKE ROAD AND SETTING DATE FOR IMPROVEMENT HEARING. 8. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPLICATION FOR COM- MUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (GROWING YOUNGER). ---,." 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Public Hearing Mattila reviewed staff report and diagram regarding a petition to vacate a portion of Old Highway 8 so that Robinson Coach can ap- proximately 16,000 square feet to its site to accommodate a pro- posed bus garage. Brandt believes there may be a solution that would give Robinson a 30-foot setback and give the city a large portion to the north with which to work. If the proposal doesn't provide any movement over the rest of the right-of-way, Brandt asked if it would be an option for the city to provide an easement into the right-of-way. Mattila stated a 40-foot setback is needed for the garage and, with the proposed 30-foot right-of-way, the applicant would need a ten-foot setback variance. Robinson stated that, since his original discussion with the neighbors, he has changed some things (would locate the garage in the southeast corner and would install trees and bushes in the front to hide the building); would give the city its full setback requirement and felt trees would prevent the drivers from driving over the grass. Robinson indicated the neighbors believe the new proposal would also work. Benke asked if the new proposal would need a front yard setback variance; Mattila indicated no parking is allowed in the front of an industrial building; and that nothing further has been reviewed because at this time the only consideration is the vacation of the right-of-way. Williams asked if the revised plan would have to go back to the Planning Commission. Benke stated the quandary is that the city's plan for a gateway to New Brighton in that same area has not yet been finalized and, therefore, doesnlt believe a decision can be made. Williams stated a vacation may not be necessary, depending on the site plan. Page 2 MPCA Contract Report 87-214 Petition: Long Lake Road and Improv. Hrg.
