Toning File #1.304 July 14, 1988 Page Three of Three and to temporarily deny the applicant's request for a variance that would reduce the required parking stall size, based upon the following findings: 1. The location of the sign will not. create a sighting problem for any of the users of the intersection of County Road 19 and 15. 2. The location of the sign will not present a safety hazard to the users of the publ.i^ roadways. 3. The parking area will in reality be separated by the county roadways by approximately 1( feet. 4. The Co,irty will provide a one foot buffer so that cars will not hang out over the wa 1 away adjacent. to the north and east lot lines of the Super Valu racking lot. 5. The loss of some 8,127 sq. ft. of parking lot area has created a major hardship for the applicant. The need for the setbacks has been created not by a mure intense use of the property, but by an immediate need to improve the intersections of 15 and 19 in Navarre. 6. Applicant's reque:,t for an 816' x 20' stall size may be premature and until a formal request for an addition or expansion in the use of the property is received, the City will postpone any acticn on this phase cf the variance a�_,I ication. ADDITIONAL CONKENTS - JULY 14, 1988 Planning Cosnsission Recoststendation The applicant was not present at the meeting, but the Planning Commission continued with the formal review of the variance application. Staff advised the Planning Commission that the applicant has already been made aware that the City did not feel it necessary to discuss a variance for a parkinq stall size since there was no parking stall variance required as a result of the reduced parking area because of the County's upgradinq of the intersection 15 and 19 at intersection in Navarre. The Planninq commission adopted the staff recommendation and ir, addition based approval on the condition that if the existing siqn is relocated or a new siqn is installed within the substandard setback area, that the aptlican# must apply for the City's altroval prior to that installation. The enclosed staff resolution has been drafted ler Planni• Commission recommendation.
