The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the practical difficulties. Economic conditions alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Finding: Practical difficulties include the desire to separate passenger vehicle parking from loading docks, and the inability to do so, but for moving the passenger vehicle parking lot to the east front yard, or ceasing to use the three dock doors nearest the northeast building entrance. 7. The Board of Adjustment and Appeals may impose such conditions upon the premises benefited by a variance as may be necessary to comply with the standards established by this Title or to reduce or minimize the effect of such variance upon other properties in the neighborhood and to better carry out the intent of the variance.The condition must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,the Mounds View Planning and Zoning Commission acting as the Board of Adjustment,based upon the above Findings,the Staff Report,and in consideration of public testimony, Approves the Variance to reduce the front yard parking lot setback from 40' to 0', with the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall obtain a Zoning Permit for the parking lot expansion and begin work within one year of approval of this Variance, or the Variance shall become void, consistent with City Code, Section 1125.02, Subd 5 (Lapse of Variance or Appeal). 2. If the project adds 10,000 sq ft or more of impervious surface area, or disturbs that amount of soils, then the applicant shall obtain a permit from Rice Creek Watershed District(Rule C). The applicant shall implement erosion controls during construction (Rule D). 3. Within one year(i.e.by July 1, 2021), the applicant shall install landscaping consisting of a continuous row of shrubs and a continuous row of perennials along the east parking lot. The shrubs/perennials shall be pollinator friendly, and varieties reviewed/approved by the City Arborist for site suitability. Prior to issuance of the Zoning Permit for the parking lot, the applicant shall submit a landscape escrow of 150% of the cost of plants and labor, to be held by the City for one year after installation and inspection of survivability. Because the landscaping will be located within the right-of-way, Ramsey County may remove landscaping at any time, without compensation.
