4749 Old Highway 8 Variance Request <br />April 20, 2005 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />The proposed parking lot expansion should not result in any of the above-cited adverse effects. <br />It will need to be determined whether or not the additional asphalt would create storm water <br />management problems. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />After holding the public hearing and taking testimony from staff, the applicant and affected <br />neighbors, the Commission can take one of the following actions related to the request: <br /> <br />1. Deny the requested variance. Resolution 793-05 is attached for the Commission’s approval if that <br />is the chosen course of action. <br /> <br />2. Approve the variance as requested or approve the variance, but amend the reduced setback to an <br />amount that the Commission feels is appropriate. To move forward with this option, the <br />Commission should direct staff to draft a resolution of approval with findings of fact appropriate to <br />support the approval. As previously mentioned, the approval would need to be contingent upon <br />approval from Ramsey County and approval of the drainage plan from the Public Works <br />department. <br /> <br />3. Table the request. If additional information is needed before a decision can be rendered or if <br />more discussion is needed, the Commission can simply move to table the request until such <br />information has been provided. Because of 60-day requirements, the Commission would need to <br />act upon the request as soon as reasonably possible to avoid an inadvertent approval. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />Kristin Prososki <br />Planning Associate <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1. Application <br />2. Letter from Applicant <br />3. Zoning Map <br />4. Location Map <br />5. Site Plan <br />6. Photographic Documentation <br />7. Resolution 793-05 <br />
