Attachment to Variance application by Precision Landscape and Tree, Inc Precision Landscape and Tree at 50 South Owasso Blvd., Little Canada, MN 55117, is proposing the construction of 60X80 cold storage building including a covered storage area of 30x80 to be located on the southeast section of the property. Because the southeast corner of the property line is "V" shaped and very narrow, it is Jiff cult to optimally get full use of the property creating a hardship for the Precision Landscape and Tree, Inc. Therefore, in order to construct the proposed building, it has to be positioned at an angle with awkward access. Although it would be more practical/effective to have a drive through storage building, the property shape does not allow Precision that option. Since access to the building has to be limited to the front side of the structure, it will require Precision to blacktop a greater ground surface to accommodate the wheel axles on the trucks/equipments that will be stored in this building. The other hardship this created by the "V" shaped property line is that the trucks/equipments will have to be carefully backed into the cold storage structure rather than driven into the structure to avoid building or truck damage as it will be easier to back-in than back-out of the structure. The brick on the new structure will match that of the existing building and will not be brown as noted on the site plan. The site plan shows a 6' foot fence at the front of the property or northwest side. Our intent is to either install a 6' fence or plant mature spruce tree ... we would like option of doing one or the other and not restricted to doing both.
