MAYOR <br />Bill Blesener <br />COUNCIL <br />Jim LaValle <br />Rick Montour <br />Barbara Allan <br />John Keis <br />515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 ADMINISTRATOR <br />(651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766-4048 Joel R. I- Ianson <br />www.ci.little-eanada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Blesener and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Kathy Glanzer, City Clerk <br />DATE: August 18, 2005 <br />RE: Laborer's District Council Building (former Ruff Cuts) <br />The Laborer's District Council has purchased the former Ruff Cuts building at the corner <br />of Little Canada Road and Jackson Street. The Laborer's District Council is now <br />requesting an access drive onto Jackson Street to serve a single handicapped parking <br />space for their lower level. (See site plan attached.) <br />The City Planner has also reviewed the site plan with regard to compliance with parking <br />requirements given the change in use. He has indicated that it appears the Laborer's <br />District Council will exceed required parking spaced by two or three spaces. <br />As you may or may not recall, a condition of approval of the Ruff Cuts building was that <br />access be restricted to Little Canada Road. Ruff Cuts had originally proposed their <br />access to be via Jackson Street. (See minutes attached.) This restriction was made at the <br />request of the adjacent residential neighborhood. The Laborer's District Council feels <br />that the impact would be minimal on Jackson Street given the driveway access will be <br />limited to one handicapped accessible parking space. <br />The City Planner will be prepared at Wednesday's meeting to discuss this issue with the <br />Council. Property owners within 350 feet of the site are being informed that this issue <br />will be discussed at Wednesday's meeting. <br />
