Zoning File #2103 January 11, 1996 Page 6 interior side lot line and within 10' of rear lot line". The remainder of the parking lot will meet setback requirements. The engineer has already noted a possible need for a parking stall variance. In reviewing the Comp Plan Amendment, you will note that the subject property is included as one of the properties considered for a sewer extension. Existing MUSA boundary goes through the High School cafeteria. It is not certain what kind of delays will take place with the Met Council's review but it is clearly the applicant's intention to proceed with construction this spring. They ask for the temporary use of holding tanks until the sewer extension is resolved. Review Exhibit L-3, Section 10.30, the use of a holding tank for new use would require a variance approval as the code would require a standard approved septic system for the use and the holding tank is considered an alternative system. Can we approve the use without confirmation that sewer wMl be available to this property? Gaffron and Weckman have confirmed there is no room for a septic system on this property. Should we ask for septic testing on adjacent school property before permit is issued for construction? Other Performance Standards Members are encouraged to review Exhibits L-5 and 6, performance standards for all zoning districts within the City. The standards will be included as additional information for applicants in addressing lighting needs, landscaping, excessive noise, hours of operation. Members may wish to further alert applicant on some of these code requirements.
