1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING MAY 23, 1994 properties along Sunset Road are within the MUSA boundary. Mr. Matheson owns two (2) separate parcels (Lots 7 & 8, Block 2, Lexington Park Lakeview) and discovered that his out -buildings were actually located over the property line of the vacant lot. To correct this problem and facilitate the sale of his homesite and adjoining lot, Mr. Matheson is proposing to add 24.5 feet from Lot 8 to Lot 7. This would give Lot 7 a width of 149 feet and Lot 8 a width of 100 feet. Staff has reviewed the request and is recommending approval of the re -alignment. Sewer and water utilities are available from the City of Blaine to serve the vacant lot. The lot width of 100 feet is more than adequate to meet the requirements of the Zoning Code. The Planning and Zoning Board has reviewed the request and recommends that the City Council approve the re -alignment. Council Member Kuether moved to approve the re -alignment request with the condition that a Park Dedication fee be collected with the building permit for Lot 8, Block 2, Lexington Park Lakeview. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Following completion of the proposed expansion, plantings will be located to the rear of the property line to provide an appealing view from I -35W. This item will be incorporated into the Development Agreement for site improvements. The building appears to be aesthetically compatible with buildings already in the Business Park and those proposed to be constructed in the future. Noise from the operation of the business must be compatible with the surrounding area, off-street parking is proposed to meet all ordinance requirements, access and circulation will be accomplished by way of a shared driveway arrangement recommended by Anoka County.
