Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes June 17, 1997 Page 12 1 Motion by Chair Bergstrom to recommend approval of the request for the sign variance for an 2 additional wall sign on the west elevation for Great Clips, 2902 Silver Lake Road as it meets 3 the following criteria of a variance request: 4 1. Granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to 5 other properties in the neighborhood or Village; 6 2. A particular hardship to the applicant would result if strict enforcement of the 7 Ordinance is adhered to; and, 8 3. The conditions upon which the variance are based are unique to the parcel of land as it 9 is inside the development of a shopping center and does not apply to other properties 10 with the same land use classification. 11 Commissioner Franzese stated the hardship in this case is that there are three businesses in 12 this building and Great Clips is located in the center. It is not like every other business in the 13 City where you can drive up to the building and see the sign and go in the door. 14 Commissioner Gondorchin stated he supported the issue as it is a non-injurious, non-intrusive 15 sign. He encouraged Commissioner Horst to abstain from the vote on this issue as he is a 16 shop owner in the Village. VCommissioner Gondorchin seconded the motion. 18 Voting on the motion: Bergstrom, Franzese, Gondorchin and Thompson voted aye. Makowske voted 19 naye. Horst abstained. 20 21 Motion carried. 22 Chair Bergstrom noted this request will be considered by the City Council at their meeting on 23 June 24, 1997. 24 5. 97-07, Preston Williams - Garage Permit. 25 Chair Bergstrom opened the public hearing at 8:49 P.M. 26 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported Preston Williams, owner of 2805 Pahl Avenue NE, is requesting a 27 Garage Setback Permit to allow for the reconstruction of a 40-year old garage. Dr. Williams 28 proposes to demolish the current garage and rebuild it in the same foot print. The proposed 29 garage will be visually identical to the existing garage, but will be more structurally sound 30 and built to meet contemporary building codes and standards. 31 The existing garage sits in the sideyard setback and is 2.89 feet from the property line on the 32 west side of the building. Section 1650.02, Accessory Buildings, Subd. 2, states that no 33 accessory building may be located within three feet of any property line. The Garage Setback Permit allows for a garage to be located within the setback.
