• Planning Commission Meeting <br /> May 18, 1993 <br /> Page 8 <br /> 1 D. Variance Request, James A. Sarna, Stop-N-Save, 3529 <br /> 2 Stinson Boulevard <br /> 3 <br /> 4 The Public Hearing was opened at 9 : 06 p. m. with Chair <br /> 5 Faust reading the Notice of Hearing which had been <br /> 6 published in the May 5, 1993 edition of the St. Anthony <br /> 7 Bulletin. <br /> 8 <br /> 9 The Chair noted that the Commissioners hadn't received any <br /> 10 of the documentation for the proposal in their agenda <br /> 11 packets . He indicated that they had the option of tabling <br /> 12 without consideration or tabling later in the meeting if <br /> 13 they perceived the need for more information. The fact <br /> 14 that the proposal had received a concept review at the <br /> 15. Commission' s April meeting, prompted the Commissioners to <br /> 16 suspend the rules governing deadlines for submitting <br /> 17 documentation for a proposal. <br /> 18 <br /> 409 Mr. Urbia indicated the applicant had reduced the width of <br /> 0 the canopy over the gas pumps from 32 feet to 28 feet. <br /> 21 However, even the reduced size would require a 10 foot <br /> 22 setback variance from 33rd Avenue N. E. and 18 feet from <br /> 23 Stinson Boulevard. Thirty five foot setbacks from the <br /> 24 street are required for both sides which the City <br /> 25 Ordinance treats as front yards . <br /> 26 <br /> 27 The Management Assistant had been requested to research <br /> 28 the number of setback variances granted to the Amoco <br /> 29 Station on 37th and Silver Lake Road. His research <br /> 30 indicated only a 13 foot variance had been granted there <br /> 31 since 1985 . <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Mr. Sarna confirmed that the previous request for a canopy <br /> 34 32 feet X 32 feet had been pared down to only a 32 foot X <br /> 35 28 foot canopy and concrete slab, with no changes in the <br /> 36 angle for the canopy. He assured the Commissioners that <br /> 37 he planned no signage on the canopy. <br /> 38 <br /> 39 The Public Hearing was closed at 9 : 15 p.m. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 Chair Faust indicated he still found the canopy obtrusive <br /> 42 on that corner where the station can be seen from all <br /> 43 directions . He said there are residences adjoining all <br /> 44 the commercial on each corner and there have been several <br /> 01 5 proposals for residential development on the vacant corner <br /> 46 across the street. <br /> 47 <br />
