Since this <br />property is shaped so irregularly, a special condition exists which constitutes grounds for <br />a variance Without the variance, there would be little buildable area remaining, and <br />outdoor storage would be the only available use for the land. <br />We had noted the following issues relating to the original proposals for the Belland <br />property: <br />Site Conditions: Piles of debris and used parts accumulate in front of the existing <br />building. Any expansion approval should be accompanied by a condition which requires <br />no outdoor parts or junk. All accumulation or storage of parts should be enclosed. <br />Parking/Surfacing; The applicants have submitted a plan which shows parking along the <br />front line of the parcel. The proposal shows concrete and asphalt paving for a portion of <br />the parking area. This paved area should be extended to accommodate all parking and <br />drive aisle areas. The attached plan illustrates the Zoning Ordinance requirements. The <br />storage area for automobiles awaiting service is proposed to be class 5 gravel as it now <br />exists. <br />5775 Wayzata Blvd. Suite 555 St. Louis Park, MN 55416 (612) 595- 9636•Fax. 595 -9837 <br />Page 89 <br />
