Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes August 20, 1996 • Page 11 1 impervious surfaces of both lots is 123,401 square feet; the combined total square footage of the 2 lots is 218,980, which translates to a lot coverage of 56%. The City Ordinance allows a 3 maximum of 50% lot coverage in an R-4 zoning district. Therefore,the owners are required to 4 obtain a lot coverage variance of 13,911 square feet. 5 Staff advised Mr. Miller of the need to also contact the Rice Creek Watershed District to 6 determine if the current storm water retention pond will be adequate to accommodate the storm 7 water run-off from the proposed increase in impervious surfaces. There will not be a significant 8 or detrimental impact to the storm water retention pond that drains Chandler Place and St. 9 Anthony Health Care facility should this variance request be approved. The current lot coverage 10 for both facilities is approximately 52%. 11 Mr. Miller has filed an application for a lot coverage variance of 13,911 square feet. Again, the 12 variance for lot coverage is necessary in order to complete the proposed addition. 13 14 Staff is recommending that the lot coverage variance request for St. Anthony Health Care Center 15 be approved to allow the proposed lot coverage of 56%. 16 Staff is also recommending that the request for a Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of use for the St. Anthony Health Care Center be approved contingent upon obtaining approval for the variance requests described herein. 19 Mr. Miller held a neighborhood meeting to discuss plans for the expansion. Staff has received no 20 responses from any of the property owners or neighbors. 21 Chair Bergstrom noted these issues have been before the Planning Commission twice and the 22 Commission is familiar with the details. 23 Commissioner Makowske asked if the City Attorney had reviewed the conditional use permit 24 and if he recommended any further conditions. 25 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated the City Attorney has reviewed the document and has no further 26 comment. 27 Motion by Gondorchin, seconded by Franzese to recommend City Council approval of a 28 Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of use of the St. Anthony Health Care Center. 29 Motion carried unanimously. 30 Commissioner Gondorchin noted all variance approvals would be predicated by approval of the Rice Creek Watershed District.
