ain thon <br /> ilia a ,- <br /> DATE : A P PROV <br /> July 7, 1989 <br /> TO : <br /> Planning Commission Members <br /> FROM : <br /> Sue VanderHe den Acting City Manager <br /> 2 TEM : META OPERATING PARTNERSHIP VARIANCE REQUEST <br /> META Operating Limited Partnership has requested a variance from the <br /> Zoning Ordinance Section 12, Subdivision 9 (8) (enclosed--) concerning the <br /> materials of which a parking area may be constructed. <br /> The Ordinance calls for parking areas to be constructed of asphalt or <br /> concrete. The applicant is seeking approval for construction of a <br /> parking area with gravel materials. <br /> The request is based on required future environmental tests on the soil <br /> of the parking area, making an asphalt or concrete construction <br /> unreasonable. (Please see explanations provided by the applicant. ) <br /> In addition, the gravel parking lot would be temporary and would help <br /> to alleviate the parking dilemma for the Kenzington residents. <br /> As a point of information, a setback variance for parking was granted <br /> to META in June, 1986. The variance granted a waiver of the 5 foot side <br /> yard setback on the southwest side and the 10 foot front yard setback <br /> on the southeast side of the property. This variance still is in <br /> effect, however META has chosen to follow the proper setbacks and not <br /> utilize the variance for the temporary parking area. <br /> :cjk7.11.89 <br />
