Turner <br /> Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 12:06 PM <br /> To: 'SCARLSON@SMILEMN.COM' <br /> Subject: Former Caribou Coffee Building -2377 Shadywood Road <br /> Shari: <br /> This property is zoned B-1. To use the first floor for a dental office would require a <br /> conditional use permit. There is already a conditional use permit for the two upstairs office <br /> spaces. They are allowed a total of three occupants and, because of the limited parking, <br /> are not to cater to the public. <br /> The coffee shop also required a conditional use permit. It was allotted seven parking <br /> spaces in the municipal parking lot. <br /> Follow this link to �nd information and an application for a conditional use permit: <br /> http://www.ci.orono.mn.us jPlanning%208v%20Zoning/Applications/CUP%20Application% <br /> 20.pdf <br /> Converting the deck on the south side of the building would require Council approval. It <br /> might require a variance, depending on the height of the current deck. (All this could be <br /> combined with the conditional use permit application.) <br /> I think the biggest concern would be parking if you required more than seven spaces (or 10 <br /> if you occupied the entire building.) Although there is the municipal parking lot to the rear <br /> of this building, we can't find that the number of spaces required for the existing <br /> businesses has ever been calculated to determine if there are excess spaces in the lot. We <br /> don't know what agreements (if any) were made when the parking lot was constructed. <br /> Feel free to contact me if you have additional questions. <br /> Evelyn Turner <br /> City Planner <br /> City of Orono <br /> 952-249-4623 <br /> 952-249-4616 (fax) <br /> 1 <br />
