NINC COMMUNITY PLANNING - DESIGN - <br />NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS <br />PLANNING REPORT <br />TO: Little Canada Planning Commission <br />FROM: Bob Kirmis / Stephen Grittman <br />DATE: 5 May 1997 <br />RE: Little Canada - Belland Auto Shop Variance <br />FILE NO: 758.09 - 97.08 <br />BACKGROUND <br />MARKET RESEARCH <br />In the Fall of 1997, Kraus Anderson Construction Company on behalf of Belland Auto Shop <br />requested setback variances (front and rear yard) to allow a ± 1,200 square foot addition <br />to their existing Auto Shop facility located at the intersection of Ryan Drive and Ryan Lane <br />(adjacent to Burlington Northern rail line). Following Planning Commission review of the <br />request and preparation of an accurate site survey, the application was withdrawn to allow <br />the applicants to consider alternative options for building construction. <br />Since last Fall, the applicants have gained preliminary approval from Burlington Northern <br />to purchase an abutting portion of land. Such additional land would be used to allow for <br />the expansion of the Autoship. At this time, Belland Auto Repair, Inc. is formally <br />requesting a variance from the required 20 foot rear yard setback (applicable in 1 -1, Light <br />Zoning District) to accommodate a 1,350 square foot facility expansion. <br />Attached for reference: <br />Exhibit A - Site Location <br />Exhibit B - Site Plan <br />Exhibit C - Floor Plan <br />5775 WAYZATA BOULEVARD, SUITE 555 ST.
