City Council meeting of May 4, 1998 Page 8 Leroux made motion, Goiffon seconded, to approve the site plan for Domino's Pizza, 14531 Forest Boulevard, to operate a carry -out pizza business at the old Post Office location. All aye. Motion Carried. SPA WNARIANCE (PHOENDUERICKSON TRANSPORT SYSTEMS) Erickson Transport Systems, Inc., 15717 Forest Blvd., requested site plan approval to construct a 399 sq ft building on the south side of their building at the above address. The addition will include two 10' x 10' doors to be used for docking, loading, and unloading freight. The applicants have requested a variance to Hugo Chapter 219-6, Subd. A, that requires driveway parking and unloading areas to be paved. The variance request was considered by the Board of Zoning Adjustments at their meeting of April 22, 1998, and recommended approval of the variance to Chapter 219-6. The proposed building addition complies with building setback requirements. Staff recommended approval of the site plan subject to the following conditions: 1. Approval of a land development by the RCWD. 2. The applicant provide a new site plan specifying driveway parking and loading areas, as well as location of well and septic system. Bob Erickson did not want to pave his property because of the cost factor. He was informed that a financial hardship is not a reason to grant a variance. There needs to be a hardship to the land. Mr. Erickson was concerned that drainage of the property would change if the area was blacktopped, and he was informed of a drainage study being conducted to the east of his property. Leroux made motion, Goiffon seconded, to deny the variance request of Erickson Transport Systems, 15717 Forest Boulevard, to retain a gravel parking and docking area as no hardship to the land exists. All aye. Motion Carried. MCES INTERCEPTOR UPDATE The City Council directed the City Administrator and the City Engineer to attend the public hearing being conducted by the Metro Council Environmental Services regarding the proposed extension of a trunk sewer interceptor from Lino Lakes to the Forest Lake interceptor. Staff provided the Council with an update of the hearing. Sewer would be available for land to be developed, but there was concern expressed that the water supply would not be adequate. Leroux made motion, Arcand seconded, directing the City Engineer to work with property owners regarding the proposed interceptor and report status to the Council. All aye. Motion Carried.
