She then explained that the setbacks meet the requirements with the exception of the variance items. Planner Prososki indicated the parking on the site is based on the number of employees and the biggest shift has 14 employees and 20 parking stalls are shown. She then said that there is currently a drainage pond on site and this addition does not require Rice Creek Watershed District approval, but the public works staff is reviewing the drainage to ensure that the ponding is adequate. Planner Prososki indicated the addition would match the existing structure and noted there were no public comments received on this matter. Planner Prososki explained that there was a variance granted in 1981 and a variance in 1995 for the rear setback and the City Attorney has determined the applicant did not need to request another rear setback variance as it applies to the total setback. Chair Stevenson asked if there is a trailway on Old Highway 8. Chair Stevenson asked how close the trail is to the proposed parking. Mr. Kelley indicated the trail is about 20 feet from the parking and, with the change, would be at least 15 feet from the trail. There were no residents present to speak at the public hearing. MOTION/SECOND: Scotch/Miller. To Approve Resolution 760-04, a Resolution Approving a Variance from the Minimum Front Building and Parking Setbacks and a Variance for an Additional Curb Cut and Recommending Approval of Development Review for an Addition at 2151 Mustang Drive. Commissioner Zwirn noted that the Resolution includes the wording concerning the curb cut on Old Highway 8. Planner Prososki suggested amending the language to state that only three curb cuts would be allowed on the site in case at some point in the future the business would desire a curb cut on Old Highway 8. Mr. Kelley agreed with the suggestion and said he does not see any reason to have the curb cut on Old Highway 8 at this time but would like to have the option available in the future. The Commission agreed to the change. Planner Prososki suggested a second condition be added that the proposed addition shall be completed within one year or the variance will become null and void.
