POSITION PAPER <br />Subject:Variance Request <br />Point:Reasons for Approval <br />We feel we meet the criteria for a variance. We have identified that on this <br />cornnercial parcel a unique situation exists. We cannot expand to the front of <br />the store as It would severely reduce parking. We cannot expand to the east <br />of the building because of topography issues and present store design issues. <br />Topographically we have elevation problems and a lot line angle which <br />precludes us from designing a cost effective and operationally sound building <br />addition. This leads us to our present request. To be allowed to expand our <br />business to the west on our parcel with a variance. <br />On this parcel we also have a hardship which runs with the land. Our lot, <br />unfortunately, has steep slopes to contend with, is next to an existing city <br />street structure, and is located in an area where the city has not provided a <br />drainage system to handle water run off for a large area. All these are <br />impacting on the cost of our project. We are willing to absorb these costs <br />and with a variance will expand and grow our business in Orono. <br />Rick's Super Valu needs an onortunity to grow in your city. We hope the city <br />officials understand our request and look favorably on our project by granting <br />a variance so we can proceed with our project. <br />See Attachment.
