NORTH ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS, INC. <br />1800 Olson Memorial Highway, Suite 202, Golden Valley, MN 55122 <br />relephon 702.231 ;55 Facsimile /63,231.2531 planner ;wnachlanniny.ccm <br />MEMORAN UM <br />TO: Little Canada Planning Commission <br />FROM: Stephen Grittman <br />DATE: April 7, 2011 <br />RE: Little Canada — Rossow — 3165 Spruce Street <br />Outdoor Storage CUP and Setback Variance <br />FILE NO: 758.09 — 11. <br />Background and Analysis <br />Lee Rossow has acquired the properties at 3165 and 3167 Spruce Street, formerly <br />occupied by Valor Auto. There are two separate parcels that comprise the property, <br />which previously were subject to one business operation. The applicant is proposing to <br />remodel and expand the existing building on 3167 Spruce (the north parcel), and <br />construct a new building on 3165 Spruce (the south parcel). Two applications have <br />been filed for Conditional Use Permits for outdoor storage, one on each parcel. For the <br />new building site, a variance request is also being sought to allow the building to be <br />constructed closer to the property line than the 15 foot side yard setback required by the <br />1 -1 zoning district. <br />This report examines the CUP for outdoor storage and Setback Variance on the south <br />site (3165) for the new building. <br />Variance for Side Yard Setback <br />The applicant is seeking a variance to allow for the construction of a new building on an <br />existing parcel in the Ryan Industrial Park at 3165 Spruce Street. The parcel has <br />previously been occupied by outdoor storage and automobile sales as an accessory <br />aspect of the Valor Auto operation which was located in a building on the adjoining <br />parcel to the north at 3167 Spruce. With this application, the parcels will operate <br />independently from one another. <br />
