I It appears that the zoning L, dlnance provides for the City Council -,'its discretion, waive or modify the parking and drive OHW setback non-compliance. It is reasonable to assume, however, that the Council will be expecting a recommendation regarding this matter from the Planning Commission. Considering the historic view of Lake Elmo regarding both appearance and impervious surface of off-street parking; the OHW setback encroachment that could be mitigated by eliminating the 15 parking spaces along the west site periphery; and the applicant's site plan non-compliance with parking landscape island standards, it appears in the best interest of the City for the Commission to recommend to the City Council that the OHW parking and drive setback standard of 100 feet not be modified or waived. Instead, an approval recommendation for the site plan should include a condition that the west 17 parking spaces (along the west property line) be eliminated.
