-{l. -W1INC -WO(I-AT -[s August 8, 2006 File No. 120000E Chair and Planning Commission City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Rd. E Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 -1633 RE: EVANS ENTERPRISES RYAN INDUSTRIAL PARK Dear Planning Commission Members: Mr. David Evans has again submitted for an amendment to his previously issued Conditional Use Permit for his business located at 182 Ryan Lane in the Ryan Industrial Park. The original CUP required the installation of a curbed island in the middle of his existing driveway to narrow the driveway widths and bring the property closer to complying with City codes. After the CUP was issued the parking lot was reconstructed without adding the median. Mr. Evans has expressed that while the work was being completed the contractor indicated that he would be unable to drain the lot if the island was installed. We reviewed the front parking area as it currently exists to determine the possibility of adding the island at this time. Due to the direction of drainage on the current lot it will not be possible to install the island at the location proposed on the original CUP application without negatively impacting drainage from the lot. In an effort to narrow the driveway opening it was suggested that approximately 30 to 40 feet of curbing be added to the north side of the driveway where no negative drainage impacts would occur. Mr. Evans has indicated that he needs that area of his driveway open for accessing the garage doors with his truck and trailer. Given the current drainage on the site and Mr. Evans use of the building it does not appear that the driveway can be narrowed at this time. However, at a meeting with Mr. Evans it was expressed that all other conditions of the original CUP must be complied with. In review of the current site plan parking stall #6 appears to be directly adjacent to or on the street right -of -way, the stall should be moved 5 -feet off of the property line. All parking stalls on the property must also be delineated and protected with some type of curbing. In addition to complying with all requirements of the original CUP at this time excluding the driveway island, it would be our C: \Documents and Settings \kathy.glanzer\Local Settings \Temporary Internal Files \OLK2D \Ur - 080006 -CC (Evans).doc 10062 Flanders Court NE, Blaine, MN 55449 - Phone: (763) 780 -0450 - Fax: (763) 780 -0452
