r Discussion on Current Variance Requests: A. Setback variances Exhibit C is the proposed site plan. A utility easement is located to the north of the building limiting the ability to expand the building out into the parking lot and an open space easement is located over the south 100' of the property. The open space area has been regraded to accommodate storm water flows. Any addition to the rear of the building would negatively impact the ability for the site to handle and treat stormwater runoff. The City approved a 1 O' setback for the loading dock area adjacent to Kelly Avenue in 1991. The proposed addition would be located 38' from Kelly Avenue. This proposed addition would be the same as the addition approved in 1997. The addition to the east side of the building has been reduced in size. The 1997 addition was approved 10' from the property. This plan would place the scaled down addition 40' from the property line. Please review the 1997 approved site plan attached as Exhibit M. B. Parking variance Mr. Bloomquist has stated only one weekend per year where he would be concerned about parking. The remainder of the year he is not concerned about parking shortages. Hennepin County reconstructed the-intersection of C.R. 15 and C.R. 19 in Navarre in 1988. Super Value lost over 8,000 s.f. of parking lot area. The City granted variances to accommodate a O' setback for the existing parking lot. The City has not received any reports of parking issues with the Super Value lot. No changes to the parking lot have been proposed. C. Hardcover The total hardcover on the property would not change from the existing hardcover. The building additions would change the black top to structure. Tom Kellogg, City Engineer, has reviewed the plan and has stated the overall plans appear acceptable. The 1991 engineering review, assuming the larger additions, found only minimal impact on drainage. A concern in 1991 was the flow of water from the west side of Kelly Avenue to this property. A culvert had been plugged under Kelly. Since, the culvert has been reopened to eliminate the drainage problem west of Kelly and has net had a negative impact on the Super Value site. The water flows to the detention area south of the Super Value store. Review of landscaping plan Please review the landscaping plan and planting schedule. Twenty evergreen trees would be planted along the Kelly Avenue property line and the southeast property line between Super Value and the bank. Additional planting would consist of flowering bushes and crab trees as shown on the plan. U2606Richard Bloomquist.
