The Caravelle Apartments have also <br /> 2 indicated they will allow parking on their site during daylight hours. <br /> 3 Commissioner Franzese questioned the issue of trucks. <br /> 4 Mr. Miller stated the loading dock area had been reconfigured to allow larger trucks to back in <br /> 5 and out.

Denial would create an undue hardship as the site is landlocked. <br /> 2. Redevelopment will not alter the character of the area. <br /> 15 3. Circumstances are unique to the individual as the project is a redevelopment to meet the <br /> 16 changing demands of the health care industry. <br /> 17 4. Granting of the variance is keeping in the spirit of community development as it will help <br /> 18 in the revitalization of the economic base of St. Anthony by providing jobs. <br /> 19 5. The State of Minnesota recognized the hardship and waived the moratorium that is in <br /> 20 place to prevent construction of additional nursing homes or expanding the number of <br /> 21 beds in a nursing home facility. <br /> 22 6. Unique circumstances exist as St. Anthony Health Care Center is the only nursing home <br /> 23 in the City of St. Anthony. <br /> 24 7. No one is opposed to the redevelopment. <br /> 25 Makowske seconded the amended motion. <br /> 26 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 27 <br /> Chair Bergstrom recessed the meeting at 8:35 P.M. and reconvened at 8:40 P.M. <br />
