• STAFF ORIGINATOR: MEETING DATE: TOPIC: VOTE REQUIRED: CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 6A Michael Grochala September 24, 2012 Resolution No. 12 -100, Approving Variance to Reduce Street and Side Yard Parking Setbacks, Miller's on Main, 8001 Lake Drive. 3/5 INTRODUCTION Staff if requesting council consideration of a variance to allow the reduction in the required parking lot setback from property lines, as established in the zoning ordinance. BACKGROUND The City has been working with Anoka County to reconstruct the intersection of Lake Drive and Main Street and install traffic signals and turn lanes. During the design process it was determined that the Miller's on Main parking lot encroached approximately 10 feet into the Main Street road right -of -way. As part of the project the parking will be relocated onto the Miller's site and new sidewalk constructed along the Main Street side of Miller's. The existing lot width of approximately 65 feet cannot meet the required setbacks and accommodate the two sided 90 degree parking arrangement that currently exists. A variance from the parking setback requirement is being requested to facilitate this shift. The applicant and City of Lino Lakes as co- applicant are requesting a variance from the parking setback requirement to facilitate this shift. As proposed the parking lot would have a 0 foot setback from the Main Street property line and a four foot setback from the north side lot line.
