Lake Elmo Inn Zoning Text Amendment, front and side setbacks, General Business in Old Village Area; Resolution No. 2010-049, Ordinance No. 08-030 The City Council was asked to consider zoning text amendments to the General Business District regulations in the Zoning Ordinance. This request originated as a variance application from the Lake Elmo Inn to allow the construction of a new enclosed patio seating structure in place of the easting fabric tent that currently exists in front of the restaurant, but has been revised instead to amend the zoning regulations for all properties in the Old Village area zoned GB. The proposed structure would not meet existing setback requirements in the General Business District, nor would additional parking be provided for the additional seating area. The proposed zoning text amendments would specifically amend the General Business District as follows: Creating a second front and side yard setback requirements of 0 feet (no special setback required) for properties located south of Minnesota State Highway 5 in the Old Village Allowing the Zoning Administrator to waive the parking requirements for proeprties located in the Old Village area south of CSAH 5. Referencing the description of the “Old Village District” used in the Sign Ordinance. MOTION: Council Member DeLapp moved to adopt Ordinance No. 08-030 amending the GB-General Business District regulations for parking and setbacks in the Old Village District. Mayor Johnston seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0.
