Site Data: The Property address is 11441 20th Street North, Lake Elmo, MN 55042. The <br />current zoning of the Property is Golf Course Community. The Property is approximately <br />10.9 acres (476,865 SF). The PID is 25.029.21.12.0010. The current legal description is <br />Lot 1, Block 1, The Royal Golf Club Pool and Fitness, Washington County, MN. Land is <br />currently used as part of a golf course and fitness center, specifically, this parcel includes, <br />a maintenance facility/storage building and clubhouse serving the existing golf course, a <br />drive way to access the existing clubhouse and a parking lot to serve the clubhouse and <br />golf course. <br /> <br />c. City Code Provisions Seeking Variance From: Lake Elmo City Code, Section 105.12.720, <br />Table 10-2 – Maximum Impervious Coverage for GCC Districts <br /> <br />d. Written Description of Proposal: The proposal is to permit the property to have a greater <br />maximum impervious coverage percentage that permitted by the City Code. Allowing such <br />greater maximum impervious coverage would allow the Royal Golf Club to (i) construct <br />an addition on to the existing Clubhouse, the exterior of such addition will mirror the <br />existing Clubhouse, which said addition will be approximately 5,400 square feet; and (ii) <br />to construct an outdoor recreational space to be located to the north of the existing Pool <br />and Fitness Center, between Hole 14 of the Golf Course and the existing parking lot, which <br />said new outdoor recreational space will be approximately 3,861 square feet and will <br />include pickleball courts. Specifically, the applicant seeks to have a variance from the City <br />Code to allow for a maximum impervious coverage on the property in excess of what is <br />permitted under the City Code. Based on site plans provided by applicant’s engineer, <br />applicant would need to be permitted 56.31% impervious coverage as opposed to 30%. <br /> <br />e. Narrative on Pre-Application Discussions: The applicant was notified by the City Planner <br />of a potential need for a variance for maximum impervious coverage during the City’s <br />review of the Royal Golf Club’s CUP application to permit construction of an addition to <br />the existing clubhouse and a outdoor recreational facility. Following review of additional <br />information and plan provided by the Royal Golf Club, the City Planner notified the Royal <br />Golf Club of the need to request a variance from the maximum impervious coverage <br />requirements of the City Code. Prior to being notified of the need to request a variance, the <br />issue had not been brought to the applicant’s attention.
