Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes June 17, 1997 • Page 7 1 Commissioner Horst stated he hoped Mr. Rosar had heard the concerns of the homeowners 2 and would bring the message to his employees. If the problem continues, the City may have 3 to look at stricter enforcement. 4 Commissioner Franzese stated she had viewed the pictures of Mr. Rosar's other sites and this 5 will be a great improvement over what is currently on the site. She noted that the City had 6 not enforced the conditions of the conditional use permit and everyone was waiting for CUB 7 Foods, while in the meantime, the neighbors were left to look an eyesore. She stated 8 everyone will be watching to see what Mr. Rosar does with the site. 9 Commissioner Horst seconded-the motion on the floor. - 10 Motion carried unanimously. 11 Chair Bergstrom stated the second issue to consider for the Exhaust Pro expansion is a 12 setback variance request because it extends 24 feet beyond the front of the existing building 13 and the two adjacent buildings. The building will be located well within the setback 14 requirements as it is located 49 feet from the property line. However, City Ordinance 15 requires a front yard setback equal to the greater of 35 feet or a distance equal to the average 16 of the front yard depths of the two adjacent lots. 4 Commissioner Makowske asked what constraints prevented the building from being placed 18 further back on the lot. 19 Mr. Darrell explained the exit of the car wash requires a 28 foot radius for cars to turn and 20 exit the lot. 21 Motion by Gondorchin, seconded by Horst, to recommend approval of the 25 foot front yard 22 setback variance for Phil Rosar, Exhaust Pros, 4000 Silver Lake Road as it meets the 23 following criteria of a variance request: 24 1. Strict enforcement would cause a hardship due to the configuration of the structure and 25 existing traffic lanes; 26 2. The hardship was not created by the landowner but is unique to the individual and this 27 lot as this is a remodel/redevelopment; and, 28 3. This variance is within the spirit of the redevelopment of St. Anthony and economic 29 considerations are not the sole criteria. 30 31 Motion carried unanimously. 32 Chair Bergstrom noted this request will be considered by the City Council at their meeting on 33 June 24, 1997. 44 2. 97-04, John and Liesha Ingdahl - Lot Width Variance Request. 35 Chair Bergstrom opened the public hearing at 8:19 P.M.
