Zoning File r?1975 <br />October 13, 1994 <br />Page 3 <br />Rericw of Application <br />ITie current owner of the property is offering Outlet E for sale for commercial use. The <br />majority of this property except for the north 55' is zoned B-1. Retail Sales Business District. <br />The proposed use would involve the selling of tires, exhaust systems, alignments, shivks. struts, <br />trailer hitches, oil changes and brake serx ice. The proposed use includes not just retail sales of <br />the various items but also of the servicing and installation. There is little direction in your cixlc. <br />There is no deftnition fi'r a garage. The zoning code conditional use section merely states that <br />garaces for the servicing and repair of automobiles are allowed provided repair functions aie <br />totally enclosed in a building. Review the purpose or intent of the code. Subdivision 1. You <br />may w ish to visit the facility within the Long Lake Industrial Park on the south side of Highway <br />12. <br />Outlot E was created w ith the platting of the Sugar Woods subdivision. The property <br />w^as originally connected ti> Rebers* commercial property to the east with the creation of Outlot <br />D. an outlot platted to ensure future connection to a frontage road platted in the Otten property, <br />review Exhibit D. A subdivision will be required to reclassify the parcel as a buildable lot. A <br />building permit can not be i.ssued until this is completed. Outlots within the Sugar Woods <br />subdivision, located within Rebers commercial corridor, were set aside tor lulure consideration <br />but with specific planning goals. (Review Exhibits 1. J and K) <br />Review Exhibits P-l and P-2, the directives of Comp Plan Amendment No. 2. Tlie <br />nonhern boundary of the B-1 zoning district must be extended 55 ’ to the north. Tlie 55 ’ <br />corridor zoned RR-IB is a remainder from the original Sugar Woods ’ rezoning that re/oned the <br />upper portions to the R-IA zone. Outlot E was not designated as a buildable lot but based on <br />the factual findings noted above, the outlot would meet the standards required tor the creation <br />of a lot w ithin the B-1 zoning district. <br />Review E.xhibits I, J, K. L. M and N. all documentation created for the Sugar Wmxls <br />plat advised the subdivider and current owner that when the commercial properties were to be <br />developed that frontage road would have to be designated. With the redefining of Outlot E to <br />a buildable I >t, the City will expect at a minimum that the east/west road be defined within that <br />plat. <br />Access to this site is very difficult to resolve at this writing because w’e ha\e yet to hear <br />from Mn DOT. The upcoming safety improvements in 1995 may prohibit creation of ;i new <br />curb cut. Anv access approved at Highway 12 would be temporary' as it is the goal of Comp <br />Man .Amendment No. 2 to have all commercial uses served by the future frontage road. <br />Gustafson in his repon (Exhibit F) notes that applicant should provide information on the site <br />plan as to how future access to the frontage road to the north would be provided. Engineer has <br />recommended that a temporary solution for the property might be creation of a shared access <br />with the Wear property to the immediate east. Review Exhibits F. G and H. Gustafson s report, <br />sketches of a potential frontage road kication and sighting of the temporary shared access.
