Public Works is looking for direction from the City Council on this issue. If the City <br />Council wishes proceed with the City removing the parking area, Staff <br />recommends that a policy be created to allow for the City to remove <br />nonconforming street access before performing any work at Messiah Lutheran <br />Church. This policy would apply only to nonconforming street accesses that were <br />installed before current ordinances that do not allow such access were adopted <br />(properties that are “grandfathered in”). <br /> <br /> Staff has developed a draft Nonconforming Street Access Policy. Attached is a <br />copy of this draft policy for Council’s review and consideration. The goal of this <br />policy is to be consistent with all properties that are requesting the City to remove <br />a nonconforming street access that is grandfathered in; and do so in a manner <br />that increases safety on the pubic roadway, respects the best interests of the City <br />as a whole, and does not create an additional tax burden to other property <br />owners in Mounds View. <br /> <br /> Council also has the option not to take action on this issue. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff is looking for direction on this matter. Specifically, Staff is looking for <br />Council input on whether the Council is interested in developing a Removal of <br />Nonconforming Street Access Policy, and then applying this policy to the <br />Messiah Lutheran Church / Knollwood Drive parking issue. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Greg Lee, Director of Public Works <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
