CUP & Fahey opened the continuation of public hearing for consideration of a VARIANCE Conditional Use Permit to allow a group home facility providing short- FOR RESPITE term respite care as well as a Variance from setback requirements. The HOME - group home is proposed on property at the southeast corner of Little NORTHEAST Canada Road and McMenemy Road. The Planning Commission has RESIDENCE recommended approval of the CUP and the Variance. Staff is recommending denial of the Variance given that the hardship requirements have not been met. Fahey reported that since the March 22"`{ Council meeting at which this proposal was last considered, the St. Paul Board of Water Commissioners have been contacted to determine if they would be willing to sell property to Northeast Residence to negate the need for a setback variance. The Board of Water Commissioners has indicated a willingness to sell the property needed by Northeast Residence. Morelan asked if Northeast Residence was withdrawing their request for a variance. Corrine Schmit, Northeast Residence, reported that they will purchase the property from the Water Department. She asked that they be allowed to begin construction on the respite home prior to finalization of the sale of the property so that there are no further delays in getting the facility under construction. The City Administrator recommended that the Council act on the CUP request at this time and table action on the Variance pending finalization of the sale with the Water Department. If the sale does not come to fruition, then the Council can act on the Variance request.
