Hanson Email: cityhall@ci.little-canada.mn.us TO: Mayor & City Council Members FROM: Elizabeth Mursko, Zoning Administrator / Code Enforcement Officer DATE: January 10, 2000 RE: Update 3101 Spruce Street CUP As discussed at the November 10, 1999 Council meeting, the Zoning Administrator reviewed the 1991 street improvements in Ryan Industrial Park to determine whether the streets surface -line is centered in relation to the right -of -way. The sixty (60) foot right -of -way (30 feet paved) appears to be centered in this area. The applicant has submitted a new site plan reflecting eighty -three parking spaces that meet the required parking lot setbacks both from the surface of the street and property lines. The City Council will have to make a final determination as to whether seventy - nine (79) parking spaces are adequate for this property as indicated in the "Other Uses" parking classification guideline. It is the Zoning Administrator's recommendation that seventy nine (79) parking spaces is adequate for this property based on the number of employee's and building use. The fire hydrant location and access issues have been discussed and resolved to meet Uniform Fire Code guidelines and the Public Works Director's concerns regarding snow removal and hydrant access and protection (see memo dated November 9, 1999). The applicant has agreed to be the responsible party for snow removal along the street frontage (planter areas) as reflected in his letter dated November 8, 1999.
