The building itself is set 27 feet from the <br />rear property line which is 7 feet more than required. The variance <br />is needed only for the enclosed dock areas. The docks are being <br />enclosed to increase the energy efficiency of the building through <br />use of an air-lock double door system.-Only about 200 sq. feet <br />of the enclosed dock is in the setback area. Without the <br />variance the docks would still be in the same location but they could <br />not be enclosed. <br />The effect of the front yard variance is also minor. Only two <br />adjacent residential properities are affected by the setback variance. <br />Both. of these properties have side yards rather than front yards <br />facing the industrial property. County Road E2 is a county state. aid <br />highway which is classified as a collector street rather than a <br />residential street. This reduces the need for the extraordinary <br />60 feet setback. <br />The 73 foot-right of way for County Road E2 is wider than normal <br />by 13 feet and therefore provides the equivalent of a 53 foot <br />setback. In addition, the placement of the road surface completely on <br />the south portion of the right of way provides extra space for <br />screening on the residential properties if they so desire. <br />The. development of this site is a challenging task because of parcel <br />size, setback requirements, soil conditions and ponding requirements. <br />We have hired experts and spent many hours working on these <br />problems to come up with an acceptable site and building plan. We <br />are pleased with the results of these efforts and we believe our <br />proposed development of the site will be an attractive addition <br />to the city. You can be fully confident that we share the <br />city's concern for quality development along this important en- <br />trance to New Brighton. Your approval of _the requested variances, <br />will make our development possible. <br />If you have any questions, please contact us at 788-9177 or <br />Jim Senden at 633-6837. <br />Sincere , <br />j~`~ <br />( i~+~Z~G~Il <br />Mike Donatelle <br />Chuck Donatelle <br />Donatelle Tool Inc. <br />mjd/ajb <br />
