Memo - Zoning File #1463 October 11, 198' Page Two of Three structure is requited only from residential lot lines. Brief Review of Application - Contel proposes installation of a remote switch building measuring 10 x 16 on a property owned by Fairview Covenant Church located directly across County Road 19 within the City of Minnetrista. The remote switch building meets the required street setback of 35' but does not meet the required 50' setback from the adjacent residential lot lines (i of er to the findings noted above and Exhibit M). Hardships have not been submitted with the application, but applicant advised that because of the narrow width of the lot the residential 50' setback could never be maintained from the north and south lot line unless structure was moved to the rear of the property. In addition, applicant notes that to move it to the most mid position in the widest area of the property would prevent the Church from expanding a parking lot to the east side of the lot. If applicant moves structure to the south maintaining the 35' setback, a setback variance would still be required from the south lut line. Applicant should be prepared to demonstrate why the relocation of the structure will have an impact on future parking expansion to the east on the Church property. Please review Mr. McCurdy's letter. Applicant should be prepared to respond as to feasibility of relocating air conditioning units to either south or east side of structure. In addition applicant should provide further information on emission of sound emitting from the air conditioning units a:id frequency of use of these cooling units. Is there a sound barrier wall that could be considered outside of normal plantings? The lease agreemen} o various further improvements of the property agreed t- icant in lieu of being allowed to install the remote lding on property. Staff would suggest that any furthe ,ruvements on the Church property are subject to the Church filing a separate application with the City for expansion of parking areas and other extra ciricular facilities. It should also be noted that we cannot address facilities used by the Church that are not on the Church property, such as basketball hoop and outdoor grill. The Church would be well advised to acquire the adjacent tax forfeit property where intormal improvements have been installed. The following con-iitions must be met if application is to be approved:
