I <br />► ' <br />POSITION PAPER <br />Subject: <br />Pol nt: <br />Variance Request <br />Reasons for Approval <br />We feel we meet the criteria for a variance. We have Identified that on this <br />commercial 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 ana 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 opportunity to grow In your city. We :.:pe 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.
