Planning Case MU2016-003 November 16, 2016 Page 6 Summary The City will be replacing its Public Works Maintenance Building, Cold Storage, and Salt Shed with a new Maintenance Building and Salt Shed. The Facility will include screened outside storage of equipment and materials, and above ground fuel tanks, both requiring Conditional Use Permits. A Variance is necessary to reduce the setback for the north parking lot. Construction drawings are not complete, thus there may be changes to the building and site plans. However, this will not affect the applicable zoning permits. A Public Hearing notice for the Variance was published in the New Brighton-Mounds View Sun Focus on November 4, 2016, and mailed to property owners within 350’ of the subject property, and to residents along Bronson Dr. across the street from the Public Works Facility. Staff received one phone call from the owner of Carmike Cinemas Wynnsong 15 (theater), who is supportive of the requests. Recommendation The Planning Commission is requested to consider the following options, including conducting a Public Hearing for the Variance request: 1. Resolution 1060-16, recommending approval of the Development Review; Resolution 1061-16, approving a Variance to reduce the front yard setback for a parking lot; Resolution 1062-16, recommending approval for a Conditional Use Permit for Open and Outdoor Storage as an Accessory Use; Resolution 1063-16, recommending approval for a Conditional Use Permit for the Storage of Flammable Liquids over 800 gallons Above Ground 2. The Planning Commission may choose to deny the Variance, and/or recommend to deny approval of the Development Review, and/or Conditional Use Permit(s). If the Commission chooses these options, Staff would need to be directed to draft a resolution(s) of denial with findings of fact appropriate to support the denial(s). 3. Table the request(s). If additional information is needed before a decision can be rendered or if more discussion is needed, the Commission can simply move to table the request until such information has been provided. Because both the applicant and grantor are the City, the City would administratively extend its 60-day review period to 120-days, to avoid an inadvertent approval by violating the 60-Day review deadline (December 4, 2016).
