Zoning Application #1059 January 7, 1987 Page 3 Note that staff has asked for complete restoration of rai lriad r; q: t-of-way reducing 4200 s.f. of off -site hardcover. Off- sti :et parking wi 11 be to rear of 3 or 4 car sta 11 garage (applicant may wish to retain portion of ground floor storage area). An attached garage making use of exi Sting 18 feet wide ground floor storage area will help to conserve on space. The proposed site plan reflects no longer a reliance on railroad right-of-way and removal of old detached garage provides off- street parking within "backing out" area of attached garage - similar use situation for all small lot owners along Shadywood and elsewhere in the City. No setback variances required for this addition or any other improvements shown on revised site plan. Ground cover must be rest -)red upon completion of improvements - landscaping along road must be limited to shrubs not in excess of 3 feet in height. Staff suggests berming along roadway within property li ?s to define controlled curb cut to north. Staff sees no need to require special. landscaping or fence screening except if owner plans to store garbage cans or dumpster in yard area - code requirements will take care of that matter. Staff has drafted a resolution of approval for your consideration and action. Note the only variance required to a performance standard of Section 10.20 Sub,ivision 3(1 ) would be required setback from a commercial district. The substandard features of the lot do not have to be addressed but merely stated in the factual findings section of the resolution. A setback variance of 430 feet will be required as the nearest commercial zone is 630 feet to the south.
