MEMORANDUM DATE: May 19, 1999 TO: Michael J. Mornson, City Manager FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant ITEM: May 18' Planning Commission Meeting Summary 1. Randy Stille will be the Planning Commission Representative to the May 25°i Council meeting. 2. Public Hearines. a. 99-02 Sunset Memorial Cemetery, Sideyard Variance Request. Motion made by Horst, seconded by Bergstrom to approve the applicant's variance request. Motion passed_ unanimously. b. 99-03 Dave Sperry, 4XXX Fordham Drive, Lot Width and Lot Area Variance Requests. Bob Graham, 4020 Fordham Drive spoke against the variance request because he stated concerns about flooding issues that are problematic in the area and which the City has not addressed. Chair Bergstrom reported that the City plans to redevelop Emerald Park, which will include a storm water retention basin. Keith Gordon, 4012 Fordham Drive spoke in favor of the variance. Mr. Gordon is a civil engineer for the City • of Apple Valley and he reported that the problem appears to be that the storm water pipe that carries water away from the area is too small to handle the run-off. He calculated that the proposed development of the vacant lot would increase the run-off by about 2%. Mr. Sperry noted too that Staff told him that the proposed structures could not exceed 35% of the lot and that the Planning Commission and City Council would probably not support other variance requests for the structures. Motion made by Horst, seconded by Bergstrom to approve the variance requests. The motion passed unanimously. C. 99-05 Coppo Partners, 2837 Anthony Lane South, Rear Yard Setback Variance Request. Motion made by Bergstrom, seconded by Horst to approve the applicant's variance request. The motion was based on the hardship created by the codification of the Zoning Code after the construction of the building and that bringing the addition forward would create structural problems and make maneuvering semi trucks into the proposed truck bays very difficult. Chair Bergstrom noted that because of a neighboring property situated in Roseville sits on a bank that makes it higher than the Coppo Partners building, there appears to be storm water run-off problems and suggested that some sort of draining mechanism or structure be installed. Bergstrom asked that the engineer on the project meet with Staff to determine what structure would be acceptable. The motion passed unanimously.. 3. Concept Review. None. 4. Report from the Parks Commission. None.
