locality (or area) in which the Property is located because the Property already uses the Existing Driveway to access Demontreville Trail, so only the location of the driveway is changing.. In the alternative, if the variance is notgranted, access would need to go through a neighborhood which would alter the essential character of the neighborhood. 7) The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to properties adjacent to the Property, increase congestion of public streets or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. The New Driveway will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to the properties adjacent to the Property as no structures are being constructed. It will also not increase congestion of the public streets as the Existing Driveway already accesses Demontreville Trail. Also, the expected traffic levels on Demontreville Trail with the addition of the proposed chapel and the New Driveway is expected to remain about the same as it has been for the past ten years. The New Driveway will also not substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood as it will not go through the neighborhood. 1) Based on the above findings that show the Applicant has met all the City variance criteria with respect to the variance for having direct access to a collector or arterial street for a chapel or a place or worship, the City of Lake Elmo hereby approves the Applicant's application for a variance or exception from the City standard requiring a place or worship or a chapel to have direct access to a collector or arterial street, subject to the following conditions: a) That the Applicant shall secure any required land use approvals, permits, and plan approvals from the City and other applicable jurisdictions for the construction of the chapel, the New Driveway, and any associated site improvements. b) That the Applicant revise the driveway construction plans for the New Driveway to meet the requirements of the City Engineer and City Fire Chief as noted in their project review comments. The City Engineer and the City Fire Chief shall approve the final driveway construction plans before the Applicant starts constructing the New Driveway. c) That the Applicant secure all other necessary approvals and permits for the construction of the New Driveway including a permit from the Watershed District. d) That once completed, the New Driveway may be used as access for the chapel and any other buildings or improvements on the Property, notwithstanding that the Applicant will be required to secure any required land use approvals, permits, and plan approvals from the City and other applicable jurisdictions for the construction of any other buildings or improvements on the Property.
