I_ V I l l~ G~ 0~ ~ >~ l C O N ~~ I G ~I T S RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA VILLAGE HALL 1644 WEST LARPENTEUR FALCON HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA 55113 Phone: 644-5050 May 12, 1970 To : Mayor Zaarkentien and Village Council Members Re: Application from Mr. Richard Magnuson for a conditional. use permit to make a parking space on his property at 1810 North Holton Street (listed as lot 20, Midway plains). The Planning Commission met at the Village Hall on Monday, Mary 11, 1970 at 7:30 P.I~i. to consider I~ir. Magnusonts request for a conditional use permit. Mr. Magnuson plans to make a parking space next to his 231 wide driveway. The parking space will be 20' by 10'. It is set back 9' from the curb on Garden Street, is parallel to the curb and perpendicular to the driveway. The parking area will be made of bricks set in sand. The parking area is bisected by the lot line. In other words half of it is on the boulevard. Mr. Magnuson says he is making the parking area of impermanent materials so that if a sidewalk is ever built along Garden, his parking area can come out to males coon for the sidewalk. The Plannir~ Co~nni.ssion saw two problems with Mr. Magnuson's plan: 1. Because the area is bisected by his lot line, his vehicles will be parked partially on the boulevard. 2. The construction of the parking area in this location would be in conflict with section 14.2 (3.1) of Ordinance 64. However, because there is no sidewalk there at present and because Mr. Magnuson agrees that his parking area would have to be removed if a side- walk were to be built, the Planning Commission recommends to the Village Council that they grant a variance request to Mr. Magnuson for the construc- tion of his parking area. (The Planning Commission considers this a variance rather than a conditional use.) Sincerely yours, George Plant, Chairtaan Falcon Heights Planning Commission
